Answer:
The right aswer is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Japan industrialized and became a modern power after bold reforms started in the second half of the 19th century. It followed a policy of territorial, military and economic expansion in Asia. As a major economy, it was affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s. In that environment, the idea that Japan expansion by means of military conquest would provide solutions for economic pains gained a hold. There was a large increase in population numbers which needed large food imports. Western tariffs, local legislation and other barriers to pacific Japanese trade expansion, led to make the belief in military might and forceful solutions popular and acceptable. That served militarism and its imposition.
