Japanese militarism restricted freedoms and imposed Japanese culture

Option: B

Explanation:

When the Japanese militarism came to power in 1930s, they restricted the freedoms of the civilians or public because they were supporting western imperialism and democracy. The Japanese militarism focused on strengthening the military as they believed strengthening the army will be equal to strengthening the nation.

If any politicians or businessmen or civilians raised their voice, they were killed or suppressed. Hence, in 1878 the Imperial Japanese Army introduced Imperial Japanese Army General Staff where they followed their protocols independent of the Ministry of War of Japan.
