The World War II is the overall war of aggression launched by Germany, Italy and Japan fascist countries in the world, simultaneously is the justice wa r of the world's people to resist the fascist aggressors. The result of the war h as an extremely important and far-reaching impact on the development process of human history. One of its manifestations is to promote the transformation of the world development mode:from the pre-war aggression development model which is characterized by external expansion, conquest, plunder and internal p ress to the post-war peaceful development model which focus on the state syst em self-improvement and the equal dependence of international relations for co ntents and characteristics. As a typical pre-war militarism state, Japan took agg ression and expansion, conquest and plunder as its national development policy tools after the Meiji Restoration, and launched a series of aggressive wars unt il the World War ? broke out, it is an absolute "source of war in the far eas t". After the war and the baptism of the anti-fascist and democratic reform, Ja pan eliminated the nature of the war in the national development mode, embar ked on the development path of countries around the world depend on equality, coexistence and win-win "peaceful country" by self-improving development me chanism of "Science and technology rejuvenating the country", "Education reju venating the country", "Trade rejuvenating the country".Japan embarked on the war path of seeking development through aggression which has the profound social history reasons. The feudal warriors'war traditio n is the historical origin of Japanese aggression development model. In the 16t h century, the aggressive war against the DPRK launched by Toyotomi Hideyo shi provided a priori ideological material and practice paradigm for modern Jap anese mainland policy and the aggressive development model based on the poli cy. Tokugawa thinkers'theory of aggression and expansion has become the ide as originate of modern Japanese invasion development model formation. The fo rmation of modern development model of Japanese aggression is also deeply in fluenced by Western colonialism's aggressive expansion and colonial plunder. T he USA opened the door of Japan by arms and made it become a colony, whi ch let Japan intuitively have a better understanding of the development model of Western colonialism aggression. The late Tokugawa thinkers therefore propos ed the development proposition of the times to follow Western colonial expansi on and plunder. The Meiji reform established the militarism state system which held the political laid foundation stone for the modern development of Japane se invasion. Meiji thinkers'construction of aggression and expansion held the i deas laid foundation stone for the development model of aggression. Meiji thre e expeditions, the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, the Sino-Japanese War i n 1894 and Mainland policy's appearance marked the formation of modern Jap anese aggression development model. The economic fields full of strong pre-ca pitalist factors, the feudal reactionary on the national constitutional system and the militarism leading social ideologies stipulated the content and characteristics of modern Japanese invasion development model.Walking on the road of the World War ? is the logical result of modern Ja panese invasion development model operation. The path dependence formed by the development of the modern aggression mode in the institutional environme nt ultimately caused the failure of efforts that the progressive forces try to tran sform the country's development model. The Taisho democracy failure and the collapse of the party cabinet indicated the possibility for the bourgeois democra ts to transform the modern aggression development model within the system ha d been completely lost. The proletarian struggle was suppressed by the state p ower completely. The world economic crisis dealt a heavy blow to Japanese fe udal capitalist economy and seriously deteriorated Japanese domestic political a nd economic situation. At the same time, the rampant international fascist force s created a favorable international environment for Japanese fascists'coming to the power. The military fascist forces seized the state power by the means wi thin and out the system, which pushed Japan into the path of aggression war and promoted Japan to launch a full-scale aggression war against China and th e Pacific War. During the World War ?, Japanese fascist constructed a system of total war in the domestic, strengthened the political control and economic exploitation, mobilized all the national resources into the war, also built a new order in East Asia, implemented the bloody massacres and cruel exploitation i n the occupied areas, and brought great sufferings to the people of the world.The crazy aggression of Japanese fascist stirred up the resistances of the peo ple in the world, resulting in the final collapse of the modern Japanese invasio n development mode. The Chinese Anti-Japanese War seriously weakened Japan ese fascist's ability to wage war, broke the international fascists'strategic plan, supported and co-operated with the allies in the anti-fascist war, and shook th e foundation of the Japanese invasion development model. The Pacific War wi ped out the Japanese navy, hit the Japanese army heavily, and thus destroyed t he pillar of the modern Japanese invasion development model - fascist war ma chine, which made it possible for the allies to reconstruct Japanese developmen t model after the war. During the war, the allies and Japanese progressive forc es proposed a series of conceptions and policies of reconstructing Japanese dev elopment model, and conducted the democratic reform in light of these policies and conceptions in Japan after the war, which compulsively broke Japanese d evelopment model's path dependence on the system of militarism and promoted the transformation of Japanese development mode:from the aggression develo pment model to the peaceful development model.After the baptism of the anti-fascist war and democratic reform, Japan went on the peaceful development road. The rules system of the peace constitution, the planned economy dominated by the government, the policies of "Science, E ducation and Trade rejuvenating the country" and the diplomatic route of emph asis on the economy but despising the military became the contents of Japanes e peaceful development model. The self-improvement of the development mode 1 achieved by institutional reform and technological innovation combination and the excavation of the potential of capitalism became the characteristics of Jap anese postwar peaceful development mode. The formation and operation of Jap anese peaceful development model promoted the rapid and healthy development of the national economy, which greatly promoted the development and progres s of the society and achieved the national development goals that aggression a nd expansion desired to but failed to achieve before the war.
