Japan’s decentralized government provided an opportunity for radical nationalists to exert influence on the nation's policies. The decentralization of power in Japan meant that local governments had significant autonomy, which allowed radical nationalists to gain control in certain regions. These nationalists were able to exploit the fragmented political landscape to implement their ideas and push for militarization and imperial expansion. Additionally, the weak central government and the lack of effective checks and balances further enabled radical nationalists to impose their plans on Japan.
