    THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

Griech-Polelle, Advisor Marc V. Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Bill Allison Michael E. Brooks © 2015 Rex Childers All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor The end of the Cold War and the manner in which it was “won” by the Allied nations ignited debate over the utility of military power as a source of American leadership in the new unipolar world. A popular theme arose, that a new form of state power, soft power, had the capacity to achieve America’s interests as it prepared to enter the 21st century. The idea that expensive and dangerous technologies could be replaced by investments in peaceful means of influence, wielded by America’s foreign policy professionals to foster a new cooperative spirit in the world, was naturally attractive. The United States could be relieved of much of its global military presence and reduce its military’s intrusions upon foreign people and their cultures. This dissertation challenges the assumption that the impact of military stationing in the Cold War was limited to hard power. In the case of the U.S. Army in Berlin, the unit and its members practiced civic, social, cultural, and political behaviors that meet the criteria of the post-Cold War branded term, soft power. In their daily interactions with Berliners, they exercised the full spectrum of foreign policy smart power tools, as Cold Warrior defenders of West Berlin and in compliance with U.S.

    The Cultural Diplomacy of Education in Okinawa, 1945-1972

    SCHOOLING FOR DEMOCRACY?: THE CULTURAL DIPLOMACY OF EDUCATION IN OKINAWA, 1945-1972 By So Mizoguchi A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History- Doctor of Philosophy 2018 ABSTRACT SCHOOLING FOR DEMOCRACY?: THE CULTURAL DIPLOMACY OF EDUCATION IN OKINAWA, 1945-1972 By So Mizoguchi This dissertation analyzes U.S. policy on higher education during the American occupation of Okinawa. As the rise of the Cold War shaped the character of the Ryukyu Islands, postwar educational rehabilitation was positioned as the basis of an ideological battle between the United States and the Soviet Union. Among educational rehabilitation projects, the University of the Ryukyus Project was a centerpiece of Cold War educational policy. The U.S. military expected that the university would consistently educate new pro-American elite groups. With the scope of education policy expanding, however, the military was forced to handle many issues which required advanced academic skill. To accelerate the reconstruction process, the Army sought assistance from outside experts. MSU was selected as the mentor of the University of the Ryukyus because its excellent curricula satisfied the Army’s requirement of practical programs. While many scholarly works argue that postwar Okinawa succeeded in developing a democratic educational system, Okinawans were in fact disillusioned with American educational system because undemocratic practices and wide-spread racial and economic discrimination raised uncomfortable feelings in Okinawan society. Ironically, Okinawan teachers and the students of the university became the vanguard of the restoration movement in Okinawa. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am greatly indebted to numerous institutions and people for their help and support over the course of writing this dissertation.

Introduction On March 5, 1963, General Paul Caraway, High Commissioner of the Ryukyu Islands, gave a speech at the monthly meeting of the Golden Gate Club. The Golden Gate Club was an alumni association established in 1952 by Okinawans who had received US government scholarships and studied in the US during the Occupation of Okinawa (1945–1972). In his speech entitled “Autonomy,” Caraway referred to the autonomy of the “Ryukyus” under the US military occupation as a myth, and further referred to Okinawans who worked for the Government of Ryukyu Islands as lacking of efficiency.2 He contrasted them with his audience at the meeting, the members of the Golden Gate Club, which consisted of Okinawans who had returned from their study abroad in the US, who he deemed highly sophisticated and praiseworthy for their contribution to developing mutual understanding between people in Okinawa and the US.

    The Politics of the Alliance Never Really Became a Politics of Mutual Appendix: a New Career As Corporate Executive

    the politics of the alliance never really became a politics of mutual Appendix: A New Career as Corporate Executive As Norstad approached the end of his military career, he was still a young man. He had made many important contacts both at home and abroad, and was therefore in a strong position to embark on a promising second career. But, as he said: "I ruled out exploiting my military connections, and I am going com­ pletely away from the armaments business." 1 In fact, he was attracted, but not seriously, toward a university appointment, which is why Professor Norman Gibbs, the Chichele Professor of the History of War at All Souls College, Oxford, offered to arrange for him a visiting appointment at All Souls. 2 He found himself more attracted to a career as a corporate executive. His criteria were: "I wanted to work with some company that had no significant business with the Government. I wanted to work with a big company because I had always worked with big organizations. I wanted to work with a company where I could feel that I could learn enough about it to be a factor in it, to be an influence."3 The former US Ambassador to France, Amory Houghton, head of the Corning Glass Works, wrote to him in August 1962: "Your resignation saddens me as I realize so clearly what a gap in the NATO picture your departure will mean .... I cannot let this moment go by without telling you how greatly I admire the job you have done. Perhaps having seen you at work first hand I can to an unusual degree appreciate the intelligence, vigor, skill and patience that were a part of your leadership as Supreme Commander.
