Description of government: Monarch
• Monarch: The emperor of Japan inherits his control of the country due to birth right. The emperor is similar to a king, however, the people of Japan believed the emperor was chosen by the gods.
![Page 6: The Axis Definition:Enemy: Country Leader Government](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815113550346895dbf3095/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Emperor Hirohito had most political power since he was a king in which people believed was chosen by the gods.
• Military decisions were often controlled by Hideki Tojo. He tried to become more powerful than the emperor. Tojo was the Premier (aka prime minister): this means he was head of the government (but not more powerful than the emperor). He was also head of the military and in charge of the departments of war, education, commerce ($) and industry.

ITALY• After WWI, Italy was in a depression. Mussolini was
a WWI fighter who promised to unify the country in the 1920s as his support rose. Demanded the king give him power: soon Mussolini became the most powerful dictator as the Prime Minister (1922).
• Italians loved him because industry was more productive, trains ran on time, and farming improved.
• Nicknamed il Duce -He expected all people to work for the betterment of the country; no one was protected from the dictator. He ordered the invasion of Ethiopia (in Africa) before WWII in order to display his power.

• When WWII started, Hitler influenced many of Mussolini’s decisions. Mussolini became physically and mentally ill, possible due to syphilis. Nazis invaded Italy and basically had control of the country.
• Italians will join forces with the Allies at the very end of WWII to fight against the Nazis.
