During WWII
Tojo started working his way to power by becoming a lieutenant general for Japan and eventually the Minister of War.
During this time, he altered Japans reputation and made Japan a firmer country, while criticizing America calling them a weak nation that was not to be taken seriously. He worked towards building and strengthening the alliances between the rising Nazi Germany and the Fascist nation of Italy, along with conquering much of Europe. Finally in 1941 he succeed in being appointed Prime Minister and became one of the biggest threats of WWII.
As soon as this happened, Tojo held very little back. He held alliances with Hitler and Stalin, keeping Japan in a good support situation. Japan was all out ready for war. He bombed Pearl Harbor as an act to show strength but it only made Japan lose so much in the future. after Pearl Harbor he declared to Japan, "(Japan will) annihilate this enemy (America) and to establish a stable new order in East Asia, the nation must necessarily anticipate a long war." Later on and really messed up Japan. They were then bombed with a bombs and had a hard time recovering.
