Many Japanese designs were of tankettes and light tanks, for use in campaigns in Manchuria and elsewhere in China. Japan took interest in tanks and procured some of the foreign designs, and then went to build its own. During and after World War I, Britain and France were the intellectual leaders in tank design, with other countries generally following and adopting their designs. After the war, many nations needed to have tanks, but only a few had the industrial resources to design and build them. The First World War established the validity of the tank concept. This article deals with the history and development of tanks of the Japanese Army from their first use after World War I, into the interwar period, during World War II, the Cold War and modern era.
