Hideki Tojo's Life
Hideki Tojo was born on December 30th, 1884, in the Japanese city of Tokyo. His father was a lieutenant colonel in some of Japans wars and was well respected. Tojo follows in the footsteps of his father, but had slim chances at that, when he graduates from the Imperial Army Academy of Japan ranking 42nd out of 50 cadets. At that time he was not exactly the material was needed to bring honor to his father. But soon enough, he went to war college in Japan and graduated in the top of his class, making it much closer to his fathers expectations. After graduating, he went traveling abroad for three years and then came back as an instructor at the same college he attended earlier.
