What are the goals of Japanese militarists in 1920s?

In the 1920s, Japanese militarists aimed to expand Japan's influence and territory in Asia, seeking to establish dominance over neighboring regions, particularly China and Korea. They sought to secure resources and markets to support Japan's growing industrial economy. Additionally, militarists aimed to strengthen national pride and unify the country under militaristic and imperialist ideologies, often at the expense of diplomatic relations with Western powers. This aggressive expansionism ultimately contributed to Japan's militarization and the onset of conflicts in the following decades.
