Hideki Tojo, Japan's Prime Minister during WW2, was born on December 30, 1884 and was hanged on December 23, 1948. Tojo grew up having a military father, so that may explain why in 1899, Tojo entered the Army Cadet School, and graduated being the top 10 out of 363 others in March 1905. Four years later after graduation, he married Katsuko Ito, and after had 3 sons and 4 daughters. By 1928, he became chief of the Japanese Army and later on he began getting interested in militaristic politics. On July 22, 1940 Tojo was appointed Army Minister and that was the start of his wrath.
