From the Paper:

"The more countries and lands they could conquer, the more power they had. But in order to win the favor of Western countries, they set themselves up as champions against communism. This gained at least partial tolerance for their earlier actions from the Western democracies. These democracies wanted peace and didn't believe that another war could begin so quickly after the first war. The military was very unprepared for what came from this tolerance."
