Answer:
Why did Japan Invade Manchuria?
Japan invaded Manchuria in search of raw materials to fuel their own personal gains such as industrial growth and in hope of building an empire.
What was the reaction by other countries in the world?
One reaction from the United States was disagreement. The American government did not agree with Japan's actions in Manchuria, China. In response, America sent troops over to the coast of Japan in the Pacific Ocean.
Japan eventually declared war with America due to competing interests they both shared for Chinese markets and natural resources that resided in Asia.
