Detailed explanation-2: -What were some sources of unrest in Japan in the 1920s? Rural peasants and factory workers were very poor; young people revolted against tradition in favor of Western ideas; military leaders con-demned political and business corruption and Western influence; the economy fluctuated quite a bit.
