General Kanji Ishihara sought to justify the Japanese occupation of Manchuria, saying, "All living things struggle for existence. It is natural for the strong to prey upon the weak. A strong nation, therefore, is justified in occupying a weak nation in order to protect her, for the weak nation might be destroyed, if left alone."[1]
