Name: Hideki Tojo Hometwon: Tokyo, Japan School attended: Imperial Japanese Army Academy Birthday-zodiac sign: December 30,1988 ::capricorn:: Realtionship status: not sure Occupation: 40th Prime Minister of Japan

My name is Hideki Tojo and I've been the prime minister of Japan as well as the War Minister, since July 22, 1940. I am a strong supporter of the Tripartite Alliance between Japan, Nazi Germany and Facist Italy. I continued to expand war with China as war minister :) We (Japan) decided to expand militarily into China beyond Manchuria from 1937 onwards. Because of this, we decided to expand southward in 1941. Going into China will help the Japanese economy. But Japan could never be able to pay back the resources used for war from the chinese. So the only option is to keep moving south to get resources that could bring China some success. We will move to the Netherland East Indies and take direct control of their oil.By directly controlling the East Indies resources Japan will increase its own national defense position. Japan will strengthen and the West WILL weaken...
