All three: grievance → weak system → strong leader/military. Japan: discrimination + weak govt + military. Italy: "mutilated victory" + divided state + Mussolini. Germany: Versailles + Weimar collapse + Hitler.
Japan: Mukden — staged explosion (1931). Italy: Wal Wal — exploited clash. Germany: Gleiwitz — SS in Polish uniforms (1939).
Japan: Military dragged government. Germany: Hitler dragged generals. Same outcome, opposite dynamics.
Japan: Shidehara. Germany: Stresemann. Both relied on US money. Both killed by Depression.
Manchuria → Abyssinia → Rhineland. Each unpunished act emboldened the next.
Not cowardice: Versailles too harsh; economic crisis; military exhaustion; anti-war public; British overstretch; Germany as USSR buffer; Chamberlain's direct diplomacy.
