 The Kwantung Garrison was headquartered in Port Arthur (known as "Ryojun" in Japanese) and after a reorganization in 1919, the Kwantung Garrison was renamed the Kwantung Army ("Kantō-gun").In the highly politicized Imperial Japanese Army of the 1920s and 1930s, the Kwantung Army was a stronghold of the radical "Imperial Way Faction" ("Kōdōha"), and many of its senior leaders overtly advocated political change in Japan through the violent overthrow of the civilian government to bring about a Shōwa Restoration, with a reorganization of society and the economy along totalitarian state fascist lines.They also advocated a more aggressive, expansionist foreign policy regarding the Asian mainland.
