Why were they so cruel? Initially they were welcomed by the chinks Nazi cruelty in eastern europe is explained by their racial ideology that regarded Slavs as subhumans and seeked to create Lebensraum. But why were nips so cruel when their goal was just empire building. Had they secured support of conquered peoples and formed local allies like brits did while conquering india, wouldn't it have been better for longevity of their empire?

they were completely isolated as a "country" before brits forced them to so there's this strong sense of superiority complex and homogeneous ideals so anybody who fell outside of their hierarchy were pretty much considered subhumans

It is the same reason why people in North try to show themselves tough meanwhile Southerns are easy going. North was invaded by many kingdom, their men were either made slaves or killed, women were raped, farms were destroyed and wealth was stolen time after time. Their ancestors instead of passing down the trauma made sure upcoming generation is tough and hardened.
Now Japan wasn't invaded but Nips have a dark history of their own. Death in hundreds, famine, slavery will erase any sign of compassion for others

I think it has less to do with culture per say more to do with genes and survival of the fittest. Only the toughest could beat the invader, avoid getting killed and prevent his woman from being carried away.
