Japanese imperialism was most evident in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, until World War II. That was the reason the Japanese were continuously arming themselves. Japan sought to achieve its imperialist aspirations to the detriment of its neighbors, and for a long time was the most powerful factor in the Far East. By the above, Japan fought during the Second World War on the side of Germany precisely because of its efforts to implement its imperialist aspirations through war.
Robert Kennedy was attorney general during his brother John F. Kennedy's administration.
As attorney general, he fought organized crime and was a key supporter of the Civil Rights Movement.
In 1953 Kennedy became an advisor to the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations under Senator Joseph McCarthy. Kennedy left the position just six months later, objecting to McCarthy’s unjust investigative tactics.
In 1960 Kennedy managed brother John’s presidential campaign. When JFK was elected, Robert was made U.S. attorney general and became one of JFK’s closest cabinet advisors. When JFK was assassinated in 1963, Robert resigned as attorney general the following September and announced his intent to run for a senate seat.
In 1968 Kennedy ran against Eugene McCarthy in the presidential election primaries. On June 5, 1968, following his victory speech at the California Democratic Primary at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, Kennedy was shot several times by gunman Sirhan Sirhan. He died the next day at age 42, his promising presidential administration over before it began.
