  • Chapter 1. Why Manchuria? Why Harbin?
    Choosing “Hell” Family Migrants from Shandong and Manchukuo’s Food Rationing System in Harbin, 1942-1944 by Jifeng Li B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2018 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Science © Jifeng Li 2020 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2020 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Jifeng Li Degree: Master of Arts Title: Choosing “Hell”: Family Migrants from Shandong and Manchukuo’s Food Rationing System in Harbin, 1942-1944 Examining Committee: Chair: Sarah Walshaw Senior Lecturer Jeremy Brown Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Timothy Cheek Supervisor Professor Janice Matsumura Supervisor Associate Professor Diana Lary External Examiner Professor Emerita Department of History The University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: April 17, 2020 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract This study examines the relationship between migrations from Shandong between 1942 and 1944 and Manchukuo’s food rationing system and the impact of rationing on the everyday life of migrants after their settlement in Harbin, the regional centre of North Manchukuo. Although Manchukuo’s food rationing policies discriminated against Chinese residents by providing them with inferior grains in insufficient quantities, they were nonetheless an impetus rather than an obstacle to migration from Shandong, especially to those who had family and relatives living in Manchukuo. After settling in Harbin, migrants still faced issues related to food because the Manchukuo government revised its food policies and reduced quotas.

  • Shandong Province and Chinese Communist Military and Financial Strength
    A Springboard to Victory: Shandong Province and Chinese Communist Military and Financial Strength 1937-1945 by Sherman Xiaogang Lai A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen's University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2008 Copyright © Sherman Xiaogang Lai, 2008 ABSTRACT A Springboard to Victory: Shandong Province and Chinese Communist Military and Financial Strength, 1937-1945 Sherman Xiaogang Lai Thesis Supervisor: Professor Emily M Hill During the Sino-Japanese war of 1937 to 1945, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Shandong Province in North China achieved an unnoticed but historically significant success in financial affairs. From that time onward, the CCP in Shandong not only controlled economic affairs within its territory, but also obtained access to territories under enemy occupation through manipulation of currency exchange rates and by controlling the trade in staple grains, cotton, salt and peanut oil. As a result, trade with occupied China and with the Japanese invaders became the principal source of revenue of the CCP in Shandong as early as the second half of 1943. By the time of Japan’s defeat in August 1945, about 80% of the CCP’s revenue in Shandong came from trade beyond the areas under its control. Moreover, the CCP in Shandong deliberately carried out a policy of controlled inflation to increase its financial power. The key to this achievement was the CCP’s success in establishing exclusive zones for its banknotes in August 1943. The exclusive use of CCP currency developed in the course of many years of armed conflict among Japanese, CCP and Nationalist (GMD) forces in the province.

    HISTORY OF CHINA AND JAPAN FROM 1900TO 1976 A.D 18BHI63C (UNIT III) V.VIJAYAKUMAR 9025570709 III B A HISTORY - VI SEMESTER Washington Conference The Washington Conference was a disarmament conference called by the United States and held in Washington, DC from November 12, 1921 to February 6, 1922. It was conducted outside the auspices of the League of Nations. It was attended by nine nations (the United States, Japan, China, France, Britain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, and Portugal)[1][2] regarding interests in the Pacific Ocean and East Asia. Germany was not invited to the conference, as it had already been disarmed under the terms of the Versailles Treaty. Soviet Russia was also not invited to the conference. It was the first arms control conference in history, and is still studied by political scientists as a model for a successful disarmament movement. Held at Memorial Continental Hall, in Downtown Washington,[3] it resulted in three major treaties: Four-Power Treaty, Five-Power Treaty (more commonly known as the Washington Naval Treaty), the Nine-Power Treaty, and a number of smaller agreements. These treaties preserved the peace during the 1920s but were not renewed in the increasingly hostile world of the Great Depression. The world's popular mood was peace and disarmament throughout the 1920s. Women had just won the right to vote in many countries, and they helped convince politicians that money could be saved, votes won, and future wars avoided by stopping the arms race.[4] Across the world, leaders of the women's suffrage movement formed international organizations such as the International Council of Women and the International Woman Suffrage Alliance.

  • How and Why Have Attitudes in Japan Towards Japan and Taiwan's Shared
    1 How and why have attitudes in Japan towards Japan and Taiwan's shared wartime history changed since the end of World War II? Contents I - Introduction and Hypothesis (pages 2-4) II - Attitudes in Japan towards Japan and Taiwan's shared wartime history from 1945 until 1972 ( pages 5-15) III - Attitudes in Japan towards Japan and Taiwan's shared wartime history from 1972 until 1992 ( pages 16-25) IV Attitudes in Japan towards Japan and Taiwan's shared wartime history from 1992 to the present day (pages 26 - 39) V Conclusion (page 40) Word Count - 13442 2 I - Introduction and Hypothesis This thesis will examine how attitudes in Japan towards the shared wartime history between Japan and Taiwan have changed since the end of the World War II (WWII) up to the present day. I have chosen to examine these attitudes in three periods. The first period runs from the end of WWII up to the Japanese transfer of recognition from Taiwan to China as the legitimate government of China in 1972.1 The transfer of recognition from the ROC (Republic of China, also known as Taiwan) to the PRC (People's Republic of China) constituted an important change in Japan's relations with Taiwan, shifting the emphasis to the PRC which thus makes 1972 a suitable time to end the first period I will examine. The second period runs from the end of the first period to 1992. The first full election to the Taiwanese legislature was held in 19922 and this demonstration that Taiwan had democratised significantly improved Taiwan's reputation in Japan.3 This boost to Taiwan's reputation in Japan occurred almost synchronously with the end of the Cold War which greatly affected Japan's international relations, thus making 1992 a suitable point to terminate the second period of my examination.
