Imperial Japan bad a mid-level officer problem. The best way to get a promotion was to win a big battle, but those above them didn't want to invade more islands or nations. So the officers invaded anyway, and the entire country had to act like it worked, even though they didn't have the resources to keep it up.
Those same officers tried to take over japan before the emperor could declare defeat. The general of the army committed suicide during this time. His suicide not simply said, "I am sorry for the darkness"
Japan wanted to be big, but the officers were to ambitious, which led to problems the entire time it was an empire. I suspect Japan is trying to build another military incase the US leaves suddenly. They are buying time until they can defend themselves properly. The problem is, the insanity of the war machine in Japan actually scares Japanese today. They may not be as bad as Germany, but they don't want to become the darkness again.
Who says the Japanese empire was insane? the same people who control the world today? if you look up old newspapers, it says that Imperial Japan was complaining about America encircling them and putting bases in China and South east asia to bomb Japan. https://postimg.cc/Ffw79yhT Maybe thats why they did what they did?
There's a wonderful movie called Japan's Longest Day about the day the Empire declared the war over. It has the suicide I just mentioned. It is based on everything that happened during that day, down to that speeches given. It was made by, for, and about Japanese culture.
Also, historians have gone through the records and found that the Japanese did not have the resources to keep the empire working. The constant expansion was expensive, and the ability to keep it even harder. There's a picture of Japanese next to the Japanese military in China. At first it looks like a sign of power, but then you see the faces and realize the only thing stopping the absolute destruction of the Japanese colony is the military.
Basically they made a lot of bravado, but didn't have the ability to keep the empire for long.
The reason they didn't have resources is because America sanctioned them, and what you call "suicide" is them trying to keep their own sovereignty and perhaps the expansionism was partly due to feeling encircled by certain globalists tribal people who as the article said "had been planting bases around the surrounding countries to bomb Japan. "
