What is an example of Japanese aggression in Asia during World War 2?

Japan was steadily on a path toward ruling the world. They felt they were the ultimate race. The sun literally rose and set on their country which ~ in their mindset ~ made them 1 step away from gods. If you read the 1st 77 pages of James Bradely's 'Flyboys'. The information he has there describes the steps that the Japanese government put the men through to learn to shut off their feelings. They raped pillaged amd murdered millions (approximately 18 million civilians alone) of Chinese along their quest. Not to mention the attack on Pearl Harbor which had been preceded by a similar attack in Russia.
