Political debates were promoted.
Explanation:
The philosophical movement known as humanism emerged during the Renaissance period and fostered political discussions across Europe.
The thinkers of humanism focused on human experience in their philosophical discussions, which led them to challenge certain power structures that they viewed as disrespectful to human dignity.
However, these discussions were not particularly transformative, and significant political change would only occur during the Enlightenment.

1.) In 1931, Japan's aggression in East Asia began with the invasion of Manchuria and subsequently escalated with a severe assault on China (particularly the southern region).
2.) In 1940, Japan's attack on French Indochina aimed to suffocate all imports into China, including American military supplies. This action led to the United States imposing an embargo on all oil exports to Japan. (This is likely tied to natural resources.)
3.) A surprise strike on Pearl Harbor was launched by Japan to completely eliminate any possibility of U.S. forces countering their seizure of the Philippine Islands.
