What Thomas Paine may have meant by that is that government is necessary for social and political change. Based off of enlightenment ideas such as unalienable rights and revolutions in the america’s, People have the right to life, liberty, and property. This led to revolutions in Haiti inspired by what happened in the United states a couple years back and the French Revolution. This “necessary evil” could be representing how bad things need to happen in order to make humanity progress because without it, humanity would most likely never learn and not be as developed as it is now.

Japanese occupation weakened european and american colonial establishments. What was going on at this time, before the outbreak
hichkok12 [17]

Japan needed more land to feed its people, it turned to war for this. When they started attacking small nations no one was too worried. Then they went for bigger areas and the United States retaliated. It is said the U.S.A did nothing to stop Japan at the beginning, but they did. The United States embargoed Japan, this made even more complications in the Japanese empire. Japan later went on to attack Pearl Harbor and the Philippines as a result. Keep in mind, the only reason America embargoed japan was due to their aggressive expansion.

I hope I have been of assistance. Have a great day! :)
