Hideki Tojo type of government

General Hideki Tojo was known for his bureaucratic efficiency and rigor, with particular attention to detail.

With his round glasses, mustaches and close-cropped hair, he became one of the most caricature figures in Japan's military dictatorship during the Pacific War. Shrewd at handling internal disputes and a fierce partisan in presenting military perspectives as an army minister, he was surprisingly rather undecided as a national leader - Tojo was prime minister of Japan from October 1941 to July 1944.

Tojo built a base of personal alliances and used his position as head of the Japanese garrison force military police in Manchuria to guide his influence and become commander of the Kwantung Army in 1937. He played a key role in initiating hostilities. against China in July. At the end of that year, Tojo had his only combat experience, when he led two operations brigades inside Mongolia.
