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. "
