Which of the following characteristics is a major part of the philosophy of fascism?
a. the idea that the great depression was ultimately a positive event
b. the idea that international cooperation is necessary to protect economies
c. the idea that only soldiers should be impacted by wars
d. the idea that military conflict should be used to expand a country's empire

b). (sounds as the best answer)

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
