Japanese society started to try creating new governing

system like Europe’s one. They succeeded to make it, but

still there were some problems in a constitution.

In 1921, U.S. held Washington Congress that invited

England, France, and Japan. Its purpose included

stopping Japanese expanding in Asia. In this congress,

they agreed on respecting Chinese borders.

In 1931, Japanese military blew up Manchuria

railroad and blamed China for its cause, then started

military movements in Manchuria. Japanese cabinet

opposed, but public opinion and the mass media were

affected by war fever and supported it.Japanese government, Cabinet didn't control military

affairs. So they couldn’t stop this event and entire cabinet

took responsibility and resigned. Next Prime Minister

Tsuyoshi Inukai, tried to negotiate with Chinese directly,

but he was assassinated. Then military occupied

Manchuria and had Chinese Emperor making a

declaration of Manchuria.

U.S. didn’t admit Japanese action and sent an

investigating commission with Litton. English, as a

leader by Chinese asking and Japanese suggestion. In

1933, League asked Japan to withdraw declaration of

Manchuria based on commission’s report, but Japan

refused that and withdrew League of Nations. Gradually,

Japan became to be isolated.

Hitler Takes Power in Germany The Rise of NazismBy Masahiro Michigami

After the Great War, by treaty of Versailles, Germany owed heavy

punishments. It damaged its economicsand injured Germans mind. At the endof war, a man named Adolf Hitler joineda right-wing group, and then he becameits leader and called it Nazi.

Their believe was to overturn theTreaty of Versailles. In 1923, Naziattempted to seize Munich, but it failedand Hitler was sent to jail. In jail, hewrote “Mein Kamph” whose points wereGermans were master race and neededmore lebensraum.

In 1924, after he leaving prison, herevived the Nazi Party. At first time,

Germans didn’t admit Nazi because of their radical ideas and they didn’t wantwar because it was just after the war. Butsoon later, German faced seriousinflations and Great Depression fromU.S. Both brought serious damage toGerman and gradually Germans’ mindwas changed and started to supportthem. In 1932, Nazi became the largestpolitical group and Hitler becamechancellor in 1923.

He arrested and murdered hundredsof his enemy and Germans were shocked

and felt fear of total obedience. In 1933the Nazis passed laws depriving Jews of

most of their rights and withdrew fromLeague of Nations. He also took command of economy and the numberof unemployed dropped from about 6million to 1.5 million in 1936.
