Hideki Tojo

1884 CE1948 CE · Edo (Tokyo)

Hideki Tojo (1884-1948) was a Japanese army general and politician who served as prime minister of Japan from 1941 to 1944, during most of the Pacific War. As prime minister he presided over Japan's entry into war against the United States and the Allied powers with the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and he held broad wartime authority until being forced to resign in 1944 after major military defeats. Arrested after Japan's surrender, he was tried by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, convicted of war crimes including waging aggressive war, and executed by hanging in 1948.
