PREFACE This is a study of the Greater East Asia Co- Prosperity Sphere with emphasis on the influence of geo­ political thought in the formation of its concept. It is therefore a rather technical study of one aspect of Japanese diplomacy. Practically no studies have been made con­ cerning the influence of geopolitics on Japanese foreign policy. It is not the purpose of this study to attaok or defend the geopolitics or the concept of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere at any stage of its development, but rather to understand it. The principal data used in preparing this work are: (l) Various records of the International Military Tribunal of the Far East; (2) microfilmed arohives of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 1868-1945; (3) materials written by Japanese geopoliticians as well as Haushofer; and (4) letters from authorities in the different aspects of this work.

  • Timeline for World War II — Japan
    Unit 5: Crisis and Change Lesson F: The Failure of Democracy and Return of War Student Resource: Timeline for World War II — Japan Timeline for World War II — Japan Pre-1920: • 1853: American Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Tokyo harbor and forced the Japanese to allow trade with U.S. merchants with threat of military action. • 1858: Western nations forced Japan to sign the Unequal Treaties. These articles established export and import tariffs and the concept of "extraterritoriality" (i.e., Japan held no jurisdiction over foreign criminals in its land. Their trials were to be conducted by foreign judges under their own nation's laws). Japan had no power to change these terms. • 1868: Japan, in an effort to modernize and prevent future Western dominance, ousted the Tokugawa Shogunate and adopted a new Meiji Emperor. The next few decades saw rapid and successful industrialization during the Meiji Restoration. • 1899: With newly gained power from recent industrialization, Japan successfully renegotiated aspects of the Unequal Treaties. • 1899–1901: The Boxer Rebellion led China to a humiliating defeat by the Eight-Nation Alliance of Western powers including the United States and Japan, ceding more territory, and dealing one of the final blows to the struggling Qing Dynasty. • 1904–1905: The Russo-Japanese War began with a surprise attack and ended by an eventual Japanese victory over Imperial Russia. The Japanese took control of Korea. • 1914: During World War I, Japan and other Allies seized German colonial possessions. • 1919: Japan, as a member of the victorious Allies during World War I, gained a mandate over various Pacific islands previously part of the German colonial empire.

  • Yasukuni Controversy for Japan: Abe’S Visit a Reply to the Chinese Adiz?
    www.capsindia.org IN FOCUS 30 DEC 2013 YASUKUNI CONTROVERSY FOR JAPAN: ABE’S VISIT A REPLY TO THE CHINESE ADIZ? Prerna Gandhi Research Associate, CAPS Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to the Yasukuni Shrine on 26 December 2013, first anniversary of his taking office has infuriated China and South Korea once again. The visit comes on the heels of already strong tensions between China and Japan on the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in East China Sea declared by China on 23 November this year. Adding further unease for the neighbors is Abe’s agenda of revising the Article 8 in the Japanese Constitution. Abe, who had visited previously when he was not prime minister, had expressed extreme regret over his decision not to visit Yasukuni during an earlier one- year term in office in 2006-2007. "I prayed to pay respect for the war dead who sacrificed their precious lives and hoped that they rest in peace," he told waiting reporters immediately afterward his visit. He also said that "unfortunately, a Yasukuni visit has largely turned into a political and diplomatic issue," and further added "I have no intention to neglect the feelings of the people in China and South Korea.i" However China did not delay in denouncing the visit saying it is "absolutely unacceptable to the Chinese people". Japan "must bear the consequences arising from this", said Chinese foreign ministry official Luo Zhaohuiii.
