'Self-Preservation Japan Territorial Ambitions\r'

'The need for self-preservation was the motivating event behind lacquer’s territorial ambitions. ” In my opinion,self-preservation refers to the preservation of japan’s territories as fountainhead as the discoverment of self-sufficieny(autarky). Thus, I feel that bloods B,C and D support the statement while addresss A and E do not. Source B supports the hypothesis. It states the two dry lands why Japan went to war and is reliable because it is a hatch of the Japanese government conference held in 1941.Source B states that Japan will â€Å"seek to establish a solid origination for security and preservation of the republic”and â€Å"advance south”. This shows that Japan wanted to comfort its territories like China and sought to establish its armed services so that it could conquer more(prenominal) territories for more earthy resources to reduce reliance on other countries . Also, Japan needed to â€Å"establish a solid basis for securityâ € so that it could protect itself from external threats. Japan felt that in order to be more powerful, it needed to conquer more territories and preserve its true territories.To Japan, power was the key to self-preservation and thus, in order to pay off its need for self-preservation, Japan became hungry for power and this light Japan’s territorial ambitions. Source B also states that Japan’s main reason for expanding its territories was the â€Å"policy that resulted in the establishment of the Greater eastside Asia Co-Prosperity stadium”. Thus, I can infer from Source B that Japan conquered other territories because it wanted to achieve self-sufficiency.From my contextual knowledge,Japan established the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere on the pretext of wanting all the economies in East Asia to prosper together. However, Japan’s main aim was to control the economies and trade and at the akin time, the countries’ natural resources . By doing so, Japan was able to clear more natural resources for its growing industries and population as well as use the Southeast Asian countries as overseas markets for Japanese goods. Hence,I feel that Source B shows that the motivation behind Japan’s territorial ambitions was its need for self-sufficiency.\r\n'
