1) treaties gaining land over Lioadong peninsula, south half Sakhalin island, harsher occupation, Japan invades parts of China
2) full scale invasion of China in 1937. I believe this was one of the catalysts that was the "last straw" before WWII
3) the Japanese and the Nazis slowly gained land over a few years. The Japanese, however, were more brutal when they were taking over the land. They were very hostile.
4) the battle of Nanking was so brutal because at least 300,000 people died
5) The Japanese military would never stop fighting until they were all killed. This made them intimidating because of their persistence. Other countries might have enforced these words too so their soldiers would defend their country with more pride. The Japanese may have treated those that they captured with extreme punishment because the prisoner is from another country.
