How were the lives like duing militaristic Japan?

 
The Army and Navy had virtually unlimited freedom in terms of what the could do during this period. And their actions reflected the remarkable irrational and undemocratic character of the military. The Japanese military rule, led the entire country into a war that could not be won, and pushed it to the point of national destruction. During the period of the Meiji, the military was placed under the authority of the council of state, making it so that there was no separation of military and civil affairs.
