Hideki Tojo, who believes in militarism and fascism, has great ambitions for the war of aggression. In August 1935, the Kwantung Army planned to crusade the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast in an attempt to stifle the anti-Japanese forces in one fell swoop.
Hideki Tojo seized the opportunity and proposed to start with the crusade against our anti-Japanese armed forces and find a breakthrough, thus creating a new situation for the gendarmerie in the war of aggression.
In the Kwantung Army where Hideki Tojo is the chief of staff, the soldiers have a clear attitude to support the hardliners and strongly demand to launch an attack on North China.Thus gradually occupying our country. For the so-called excuse of justice, they lied that our army poses a great threat to the rule of Manchukuo.
After this, Hideki Tojo led the Mongolian Corps to continue to do evil on Chinese territory, this time his target was the Chahar area. In September 1937, the series of battles of Hideki Tojo in Datong, Jining, Baotou and other places became the first representative battles in the history of Japanese army combat.
In December 1941, under the instruction of Hideki Tojo, the Japanese combined fleet launched a sneak attack on the US naval base Pearl Harbor, causing the US Pacific Fleet to be hit hard. The next day, the Pacific War broke out.

The war of aggression against China launched by Japanese militarism is the most tragic war in human history. Our country’s 35 million innocent people lost their lives in this war, countless families were fragmented, countless lands were stained with blood...
After Japan’s defeat, Hideki Tojo was tried by a military court and was recognized as a Class A war criminal. He was eventually sentenced to hanging.

Even though the public opinion in Japan is very unfavorable to Katsukko Ito, she does not seem to take these remarks to heart. After the death of her husband, she still ignored the negative comments from the outside world and lived her own life until she died in her 90s.
