Question

a graphic organizer includes facts about germany and japan.
column a: germany | column b: japan
germany annexed austria and the sudetenland. | japan expanded into manchuria between 1930 and 1939.
a student created this organizer for a document - based essay on the expansion of totalitarian states. which fact could be added to column b?
options:

• japan’s invasion of northeastern china
• the names of japan’s past military leaders
• an example of nationalist propaganda from japan
• the role of japan’s emperor in government

Explanation:

The question is about the expansion of totalitarian states (Japan in this case). Column B focuses on Japan's territorial expansion. Japan's invasion of northeastern China is a part of its expansionist actions, similar to how Germany annexed territories. The other options (names of military leaders, nationalist propaganda, emperor's role) don't directly relate to territorial expansion like the given fact (expansion into Manchuria) and the correct option.

Answer:

Japan’s invasion of northeastern China
