WW1 had almost no impact on Japan, it was a useful tool to grab a couple of almost worthless German territorial possesions but that was the size of it.
The Sino-Japan war, and the Russo-Japan war in particular were really important points in Japanese history. And the question of who took control of the government should be obvious enough given the events of the 30s and early 40s...
Go to your local library and get a book or search on-line for Yamagata Aritomo, probably the most-influential man in the country at the time (yes, more so than the emperor!).

Ignore the trolls. I'm not sure that I can give a proper answer to your question as I am unfamiliar with the internal politics of Japan at the time. However, I will say that it was a stepping stone towards Japan's intent to bring about the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere. It's true that they didn't have to big of an impact in the Great War, but afterwards, they were recognised as a world power with their permanent seat on the security council at the League of Nations. Basically, it was simply a continuation of the process of empire-building that started with the Meiji revolution continuing through the Russo-Japanese War, to the Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War with the United States.

Since before WW1, Japan military was trying to have some power in the government. After Aritomo Yamagata set the military conscription in 1873, the military power started being strong. He became the PM( prime minister) in 1889, However, at that moment, Military didn't have a control of the government yet.
Maybe when Hideki Tojo became the PM in 1941 could be said military took a control of the government. However, former government had already been loosing the way to control of those military power around 1936, after 2.26 incident.
