A variety of factors led to Japan seeking territorial expansion. These included its own crisis of modernization in the face of the damage caused by the Great Depression and also its concerns about the potential menace to its strategic interests posed by the Soviet Union and the rise of Chinese nationalism. It is also important, though, to see that Japan had no blueprint for expansion. Its actions were at times reactive and ad hoc and its attempts to free itself from its strategic errors often worsened rather than improved its situation. In regard to the immediate origins of the Pacific War, it is probably safest to see the conflict as part of a global conflagration in which Japan sided with Germany against the United States and Britain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c6a73ea3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-multiple-choice-questions\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-medium-font-size\">Multiple Choice Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n<script>\n                            if (window.qmn_quiz_data === undefined) {\n                                    window.qmn_quiz_data = new Object();\n                            }\n                    <\/script><script>window.qmn_quiz_data[\"4\"] = {\"quiz_id\":\"4\",\"quiz_name\":\"Chapter 3\",\"disable_answer\":0,\"ajax_show_correct\":0,\"progress_bar\":0,\"contact_info_location\":\"0\",\"qpages\":{\"2\":{\"id\":\"2\",\"quizID\":\"4\",\"pagekey\":\"387zrZki\",\"hide_prevbtn\":\"0\"}},\"skip_validation_time_expire\":0,\"timer_limit_val\":\"0\",\"disable_scroll_next_previous_click\":0,\"disable_scroll_on_result\":0,\"disable_first_page\":\"0\",\"enable_result_after_timer_end\":0,\"enable_quick_result_mc\":0,\"end_quiz_if_wrong\":\"0\",\"form_disable_autofill\":0,\"disable_mathjax\":0,\"enable_quick_correct_answer_info\":\"0\",\"quick_result_correct_answer_text\":\"Correct!
