How did Japanese militarists take power in Japan and why did the Japanese fake the "Manchurian incident"to take over China ?

Answer and Explanation:

The Great Depression was enough motivation for the Japanese military to take power and authority from the civilian government. This was largely because the hardship at the time allowed them to gain support from the people because the civilian government increasingly got unpopular as they could not properly handle the crisis at the time.

The Manchurian incident or Mukden incident was staged by the Japanese Military in September 1931 to seize the Chinese Manchuria, establishing Manchuko under its control six months later. The incident was a pretext strategy to blame the Chinese and invade their territory for the purpose of its rich resources in coal and iron.
