Explanation:

First Question (Why did the Japanese...):

Japan, in the lead - up to and during WWII, had limited domestic resources like oil and steel. Controlling Asian and Pacific territories would give them access to these vital resources for their industrial and military needs. Tribal hatreds weren't a main factor, a general desire for conquest was secondary to resource needs, and hatred of Western powers was more about competition for resources and influence rather than the primary driver for expansion in the region. So the correct option is about the need for resources.

During the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939), Hitler sent military support (the Condor Legion) to the Nationalist side led by Franco. This was a way for Germany to train its army and air force, test new weapons, and gain combat experience before WWII. Romania, Turkey, and Greece did not have a civil war at that time that Hitler used for such training.

Answer:

The need for resourses, oil and steel, that they did not have? (Note: There is a spelling error in "resourses", it should be "resources")

Second Question (In which country's Civil War...):
