I’ve been watching a number of WW2 films and I realized that Japan is such a tiny country, so it baffles me how they had so many troops. Did they require all the males healthy or not to join the war?

Well they did have conscription, but for a little context, Japan had a population of 70 million at the time. They mobilized a [similar percentage](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1342462/wwii-share-male-mobilization-by-country/) of their male population as the US and the UK, but far less than Germany or the Soviet Union
