Imperial Way Faction - Circumstances that allowed the Japanese military to gain political power
In a close to chaotic political (and economic and social) situation, the military were considered politically "clean" in terms of political corruption, and assumed responsibility for 'restoring' the security of the nation. The armed forces took up criticism of the traditional democratic parties and regular government for many reasons (low funds for the armed forces, compromised national security, weakness of the leaders). They were also, by their composition, closely aware of the effects of economic depression on the middle and lower classes, and the communist threat. This explains the victory in elections for General Tojo, becoming Prime Minister, and the lack of effective obstacles to complete political power.
The massive economic growth the zaibatsu groups had enjoyed during WWI came to a grinding halt in the early 1920s, as the wartime levels of production glutted the markets and drove down prices. Radical leftists in the labor unions (syndicalists, and Communists with Soviet outside support), came in the wake of Japan's industrial birth, attracting violence and social unrest to their causes. The military saw danger and decided to take direct action.
Under the Peace Preservations Acts (mid-1920s), the Kempeitai and other police and government security groups started to crack down on the unrest, that would last until World War II began. During this time the Army became mutinous, and brought much more power into its grasp. Young recruits came from the harsh life of the peasantry.
Militarists and secret society members waged a war against every moderating voice heard in Japanese politics. Assassinations and coups were the rule of the day. Even when they failed, they wrung concessions. Secret societies flourished, and the Kwantung Army and the Kempeitai became largely autonomous. The Second Sino-Japanese war in China brought matters to a head.
