1936 February 26th incident (Japan) Who knows, tell me.

Japan time1June 226, 936 was an attempted coup by young imperial fascist officers in the Japanese army. The failure of the coup made the control faction headed by tojo hideki take the opportunity to purge the political forces of the hostile imperial army, and Japanese militarism was consolidated. The Second Sino-Japanese War also broke out the following year.

On May 1932 and 15, Japanese fascist young soldiers attacked the neighbors of the Prime Minister's official residence and the police station, killed Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi and demanded the establishment of a military cabinet. At this time, the fascist forces further expanded.

On the eve of the incident, the army was mainly divided into "imperial Sect" and "controlling Sect". "Royal faction" is a radical middle-level young officer, and "Control faction" is a senior general of the army. The "Imperial People School" believes that the Japanese emperor has been surrounded by "bad people around him" and cannot know the sufferings of the people. Therefore, it is necessary to "clear the monarch", abolish the cabinet, and let the emperor directly become a military dictator like Hitler. The political views of the two factions are completely different, but their purpose is to further transform Japan into a fascist war machine country, which is a counter-measure to the spirit of the "Dazheng Democratic Era".

The struggle between the two factions took place in the palace, but young officers without actual power were affected. In the early morning of February 26th, a group of young officers headed by Captain Ando Hui, together with about 1400 officers, occupied the buildings of important institutions such as Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and Prime Minister's Office, and killed important officials such as Finance Minister, Interior Minister and squire, hoping to achieve the goal of "showing peace and reform, respecting the emperor and seeking traitors". However, Hirohito was furious at this move and thought that these officers intended to make trouble. The "control faction" generals attacked the "imperial religion" on the grounds of "suppressing chaos". Because most soldiers didn't receive the order of "Imperial Sect" to take over Tokyo, they didn't take action. Coupled with the defection of some soldiers of the "Imperial Sect", the 226 incident only lasted for 4 days. It was snowing once in a hundred years in Japan. Finally, the senior generals of the "control faction" who gained practical benefits executed the officers who provoked the trouble on the grounds of "treason".

Another view is that the "invaders" officers mainly in the army province attacked the "invaders" mainly in the navy province, which led to the Lugouqiao Incident led by 1937.
