Why did Japan become a fascist?

There are many factors. The main factors are the domestic turmoil caused by the global economic depression and the active external expansion to divert the attention of domestic parties and people. Another important reason is that in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan won a great victory and obtained a large number of reparations and materials seized in the war, which directly affected the domestic situation in Japan and prompted Japan to expand and invade abroad and become a fascist.
