which fact most demonstrates japans fascism under emperor hirohito?
emperor hirohito initially led a parliamentary democracy.
emperor hirohito invaded china in the 1930s.
emperor hirohito was against western imperialism.
emperor hirohito deferred to hideki tojo for military advice.

Explanation:

Fascism in Japan under Hirohito was marked by the rise of military authoritarian control, with military leaders gaining significant power over governance. Deferring to Hideki Tojo, a prominent military fascist leader, for military (and effectively state) decisions shows the dominance of the military-fascist apparatus, which is a core trait of fascism. The other options are incorrect: parliamentary democracy is the opposite of fascism; invading China was an imperialist act but not the clearest marker of fascism itself; and Hirohito's regime aligned with imperialist goals, not opposing Western imperialism.

Answer:

Emperor Hirohito deferred to Hideki Tojo for military advice.
