Japan attacked China in 1937, launching the Second Sino-Japanese War, for several reasons. These reasons include:
1. Securing natural resources: Japan was rapidly industrializing and required access to vital natural resources, such as coal, iron, and oil, to sustain its growing economy and military. China, with its vast resources, presented an opportunity for Japan to secure these necessities.
2. Establishing a buffer area: Japan wanted to create a buffer zone against a potential Soviet attack on Japan. At the time, the Soviets were asserting their influence in nearby Manchuria, and Japan saw the need to establish control over that region to protect its own security.
3. Retaliation for Chinese attacks: Tensions between Japan and China had been increasing, and Japan used a border incident between Chinese and Japanese troops near Beijing as a justification for launching a military campaign. This incident was used by the Japanese government as a pretext for their invasion of China, claiming they were responding to Chinese aggression.
It is important to note, however, that the motive of spreading communism to other parts of Asia does not accurately reflect Japan's reasons for attacking China. Japan's objectives were primarily driven by its expansionist goals, resource needs, and concerns over its national security.
