Answer 1

Japan invaded Manchuria primarily to gain its iron ore and coal deposits. This resource acquisition was crucial for Japan's industrial needs and military expansion during the 1930s. The other options, such as regaining land lost in the Russo-Japanese War, obeying the Kellogg-Briand Pact, or coordinating with Germany, were not the main motivations for the invasion.
