The loss of farms during the Great Depression.
Explanation:
This phenomenom known as the "Dust Bowl" was one of the worst ecologic disasters of the 20th Century. During 1930's (and up to 1932 and 1939) droughts affected the plains and meadows extending from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. The Dust Bowl effect was produced by persistent drought conditions, favoured by years of soil manipulation that left it vulnerable to the effects of wind. Since its humidity levels were almost zero, soil was lifted up by the wind in the form of big sand and dust clouds. The Dust Bowl multiplied the effects of the Great Depression in the zone and caused the greatest displacement of population during a short period of time in United States' history. Three million inhabitants left their farms during 1930's, and more than half a million emigrated to other States, especially to the west.

Japan rejected the Western ways of life as it feared that it will become just another colony, so instead it focused on becoming a colonial power itself.
Explanation:

In order to achieve this, Japan focused on industrialization, strengthening its economy, and militarization, so that the country is as powerful as possible and to let the Western powers know that they are not an opponent they would want to mess with. This worked perfectly for Japan and its ideals. Not just that it didn't became a colony, but it become so powerful that the Western powers started to fear it, and it became a colonial power itself.
