From a political point of view and in the years leading up to World War II, the particular political and ideological foundations for the actions of the Japanese military (Japanese Imperial Army and Japanese Imperial Navy forces, not always acting in concert) can be called a Japanese nationalist ideology. This ideology, too complicated for a compressed explanation, involved radical right doctrines, with certain similarities to Nazism or Fascism. It was though a unique and singular combination of philosophical, nationalistic, cultural and religious elements.
