ww2dbaseHideki Tojo was born in Kojimachi District (now Chiyoda), Tokyo, Japan to the Japanese Army infantry Lieutenant (later Lieutenant General) Hidenori Tojo. He followed his father's footsteps and attended the Army Cadet School in 1899 and then the Japanese Military Academy in 1904. In Mar 1905, he completed the courses at the military academy and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the infantry. In 1909, he married Katsuko Ito; they had three sons and four daughters. In 1912, he entered the Army Staff College, completing the program in 1915 and rose to the rank of captain and the commanding officer of the 3rd Imperial Guards Regiment. In Aug 1919, he served in Switzerland as a military attaché. On 10 Aug 1920, he was promoted to the rank of major. In Jul 1921, he served as a military attaché in Germany. On 28 Nov 1922, he became an instructor at the Army Staff College. In 1924, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. On 8 Mar 1928, he was assigned as a bureau chief in the Japanese Army. On 10 Aug 1928, he was promoted to the rank of colonel. On 1 Aug 1929, he became the commanding officer of the 1st Infantry Regiment; around this time, he became active in militarist politics. In Aug 1931, he became a staff officer with the Army Chief of Staff. On 18 Mar 1933, he was promoted to the rank of major general and served as the Chief of the Personnel Department. In Aug 1934, he became the commanding officer of the 24th Infantry Brigade.

ww2dbaseOn 21 Sep 1935, Tojo was assigned to the Kwantung Army as the head of its military police. Nicknamed Kamisori, or "Razor", he was known for his decisiveness. On 1 Dec 1935, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. During the Feb 26 Incident, he stood against the rebels, and emerged the Army's leading political figure. On 1 Mar 1937, he became the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. He led units of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade during Operation Chahar in Jul 1937, and deployed his troops to Hobei Province, China after the Second Sino-Japanese War began; with the Kwantung Army, he also played a key role in efficiently utilizing Manchuria's natural resources to feed the hungry Japanese industrial machine. Returning to Japan in May 1938, he became Vice War Minister and Chief of Army Aviation under War Minister Seishiro Itagaki, who was a member of Fumimaro Konoe's cabinet. As head of the Japanese Army's aviation program, he adopted an aggressive stance in conducting pre-emptive strikes against China and Russia. On 22 Jul 1940, he was appointed War Minister by Prime Minister Konoe. In this role, he expanded the Second Sino-Japanese War and was instrumental in forming the alliance between Japan, Germany, and Italy. Japan's expansionist philosophies, which were heavily influenced by Tojo, eventually led to an economic sanctions and then an oil embargo, conducted by several western powers including the United States and Britain. In the cabinet meeting of 14 Oct, which was to be Konoe's last, Tojo noted that

For the past six months, ever since April, the foreign minister has made painstaking efforts to adjust relations. Although I respect him for that, we remain deadlocked.... The heart of the matter is the imposition on us of withdrawal from Indochina and China.... If we yield to America's demands, it will destroy the fruits of the China incident. Manchukuo will be endangered and our control of Korea undermined.

ww2dbaseOn 16 Oct 1941, Konoe resigned from his post as prime minister. On the next day, Emperor Showa summoned Tojo to the Imperial Palace. "I thought I was summoned because the Emperor was angry at my opinion", said Tojo in his diary, but his initial reaction could not be further from the truth. As it would turn out, on the next day, 18 Oct 1941, Tojo was named the 40th Prime Minister of Japan. His first task was to conduct a careful evaluation of whether war was still avoidable; on 2 Nov, Tojo and Chiefs of Staff Hajime Sugiyama and Osami Nagano reported their failure in searching for a potential peaceful solution with the western powers. Upon receiving this report, Emperor Showa consented to the notion of war on 5 Nov. Through the month of Nov, Tojo made a last ditch effort in averting war; meanwhile, he and his staff presented war plans to Emperor Showa, who formally approved "war against the United States, England, and Holland" during the Imperial Conference of 1 Dec 1941. The Pacific War began as Japanese aircraft attacked the American naval base of Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941.

ww2dbaseOver the course of his tenure as prime minister, Tojo gradually placed himself in direct charge of the army, foreign affairs, commerce, education, and the munitions industry. As Education Minister, he continued militaristic and nationalist indoctrination in the national education system. Although support for his government was high through 1942, starting in early 1943 support gradually waned. In Feb 1944, he assumed the role of the commander-in-chief of the General Staff, effectively gaining dictatorial powers, in order to secure his political position. However, even with absolute power, the loss of Saipan in the Mariana Islands spelled the end of his tenure as prime minister. On 18 Jul 1944, Tojo submitted his resignation to Emperor Showa.

ww2dbaseOn 8 Sep 1945, after the Japanese surrender, Tojo attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a pistol; he survived as the bullet missed his heart. He was arrested while recovering from the gunshot wound, and moved to the Sugamo Prison after he had recovered. He was tried by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East for war crimes. He was found guilty of count 1 (waging unprovoked wars of aggression and war or wars in violation of international law), count 27 (waging war against China), count 29 (waging aggressive war against the United States), count 31 (waging aggressive war against the British Commonwealth), count 32 (waging aggressive war against the Netherlands), count 33 (waging aggressive war against French Indochina), and count 54 (ordering, authorizing, and permitting inhumane treatment of POWs and others). Accepting his responsibilities as a Class A war criminal, he stated that

[I]t is natural that I should bear entire responsibility for the war in general, and, needless to say, I am prepared to do so. Consequently, now that the war has been lost, it is presumably necessary that I be judged so that the circumstances of the time can be clarified and the future peace of the world be assured.

ww2dbaseTojo was sentenced to death by hanging on 12 Nov 1948, which was carried out on 23 Dec 1948. Before he was hanged, he apologized for atrocities committed by the Japanese Army, though claimed that he was simply following orders from Emperor Showa for the cases where he was implicated with war crimes; he also urged the American occupation to show compassion toward the Japanese people. After the execution was carried out, Tojo's remains, along with the remains of other war criminals executed on that date, were transferred to US Army Major Luther Frierson, who then supervised the cremation process. While 1940s US Army official policy after military executions was to bury the remains or to give the remains to the next of kin, Frierson was given orders to break that particular rule. Using an Eighth Army liaison aircraft, Frierson personally scattered the ashes of the war criminals at sea, about 30 miles east of Yokohama, Japan. The decision to scatters the ashes at sea was an attempt to avoid having places of burial, which could then be used as physical locations for the executed to be worshipped as martyrs. That ultimate goal was not achieved, however, as the Americans failed to realize that enshrinement at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo did not require physical remains. Tojo's enshrinement continues to stir controversy today.

Hello
As mentioned in the many other comments on this page, you need more information that covers every aspect of Hideki Tojo's background, you need a wider varity for us to filter through in order get the information we are looking for instested of settling for the small bits that are in this topic.
Im still satisfied with this information as i have crossed it with many of my other sources and composed a well written report on Hideki Tojo.

Tojo can not be understood without
knowledge of his relationship to the
Manchurian gang or click which enabled
him to grab or rise to power.
Additionally his relationship to the
1936 officer's coup in which I believe
his superior was murdered needs more
study.
There is a book by an american newspaper
corespondent who was intered in Japan that
follows the japanese political scene in
1941 that gives a glimpse of his rise.
The author's last name started with a T
and I think he was a New York newspaperman.
In particular pay attention to the
assasinations and assasination attempts
in 1941 that precede Konue's exit and
Tojo's succeding him. It reminds me of the 1936 turmoil.

He could not be so stupid to think that he was going to achieve glory, Hitler would extermine them because Japanese people did not belong to the arian race.

It's kind of hard when you have to do a bibliography on every source you use because some sites don't tell you the sponsoring sources and stuff.

Tojo was a war criminal and deserved to be prosecuted and hanged. However he was a brave soldier and served his country well by waging a successful war the first year after Pearl Harbor. After Midway in 1942, he should have surrendered.

Tojo was made a scapegoat for U.S. Aggression.

Read "Back Door to War: The Roosevelt Foreign Policy, 1933-1941, by Charles Tansill; "How Roosevelt Failed America in World War II," by Stewart H. Ross; "F. D. R.'s undeclared war, 1939-1941," by T. R Fehrenbach; & "President Roosevelt and the Coming of the War, 1941," by famed historian Charles Beard.
