Answer 2

D. Both countries' governments seized complete control over private industries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empire of Japan, after conflicts such as the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, lived a few years of peace. But social stability would be shaken again: The Great Depression of 1929 hit Japan's economy hard.

Japan's response to this depression was similar to that of Germany. Internally, reactionary and militaristic forces gradually began to control all sectors of the administration. Military and related elements of expansionist tendencies dominated the country's politics and economy, including private enterprise. Scams and murders became frequent in the country.
