Japan army crisis threat signals shift to voters
Dissolution of the lower house looms as military influence is challenged by the Minsella urban Industrial liberal group and the Shiyukai conservative party. They unite against militarist elements seen as steering Japan toward a fascist totalitarian state under the emperor. The army’s decade long subordination to civilians began with Manchuria’s conquest in 1931, boosting prestige with minimal casualties and no tax hikes, while budgets rose to nearly half the national outlay. Debt has surged from 6 billion to 10 billion yen since 1931, with the new budget adding nearly a billion yen.
