Detailed explanation-1: -Tōjō shot himself in a failed suicide attempt after Japan surrendered on September 11, 1945, but the Allies treated his wounds so he could stand trial for war crimes. A military tribunal found him guilty, and he was executed by hanging on December 23, 1948.
Detailed explanation-2: -Japan intended the attack as a preventive action. Its aim was to prevent the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and those of the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -He vocally supported Japanese expansion and a pre-emptive attack on the US and European colonial powers. As prime minister, he oversaw Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941-the event which brought the US into WW2-and his country’s conquests in South East Asia and the Pacific.
Detailed explanation-4: -During the late 1930s, FDR began providing limited support to the Chinese government.
