Both Japan and Germany had expansionist ambitions and had already begun invading other countries before targeting China and Poland. Japan had invaded and occupied Manchuria in 1931, while Germany had already begun its aggressive expansion into neighboring countries such as Austria and Czechoslovakia before invading Poland in 1939. These actions demonstrated their willingness to use military force to achieve their goals, which ultimately led to their invasions of China and Poland.
