Following the Treaty of Versailles, by which received Japan custody of most of Imperial Germany's possessions and colonies in East Asia, through the beginning of the Showa era, Japanese nationalists increasingly took control over the Japanese government and promoted the divine right of Japan to conquer Asia and unify it under the rule of Emperor Showa (Hirohito). Imperial Japan also resented the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty which placed restrictions on the size of the Japanese navy compared to the American and British navies. Many Japanese nationalists believed Britain and the US were snubbing Japan and ignoring her national interests.

Japan's increasingly expansionist policies brought her directly into conflict with neighbouring countries and empires, initially China and Russia. This ranged from her 1905 war with Russia, deliberate attacks such as the invasion of Manchukuo in 1931, diplomatic actions such as Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations and, finally, the full-scale military invasion of mainland China in July 1937, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.
