The West's treatment of Japan and its expansionist actions in the Pacific was similar to the appeasement of Nazi aggression led by Adolf Hitler in Europe.
The Western democracies of France and Britain followed the appeasement policy in the Pacific. This policy allowed Japan to grow in aggression and build up strong Armed Forces. Japan also sought territorial expansion to the extent that it launched the Pearl Harbor attack on the United States in 1941, without cause.
