Japanese militarism is an extreme political system formed in the first half of the 20th century. Its core features include: the theocracy of the emperor, military dictatorship, external expansion, and militarization of the national economy. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan gradually established a militaristic system with the goal of "prospering the country and strengthening the military", and promoted the idea of loyalty to the emperor and advocating martial arts through the "Educational Rescript" and other policies. In the 1930s, the military forces took full control of the political power and combined with the chaebols to form a war machine. It launched a war of aggression against China and the Pacific War, and carried out colonial aggression under the guise of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", which brought serious disasters to many countries in Asia. After Japan's defeat in 1945, the system was completely dismantled. Japanese militarism goes against the trend of peaceful development of mankind, and its historical lessons are worth remembering forever. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people made indelible contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.
