JAPANESE - AMERICAN RELATIONS,- 1941: A PREF ACE TO PEARL HARBOR by Edward Gorn A thesis presented to the Faculty of the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the Degree of Master of Arts Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan April 1966 PREFACE There are as many interpretations as there are writers on the positions of American foreign policy during the diplomatic negotia­ tions with Japan in 1941. Hi.storians supporting President Roosevelt's 1 position tend to blame Japan s imperialism and expansionism as one of the main causes of the war. Revisionist historians like Charles Beard, Harry Elmer Barnes, and Charles Tansill, place the responsibility for Japan's declaration of war and surprise attack on the intransigent approach of the Roosevelt administration. To place the full burden of responsibility for the failure of negotiations on either Japan or the United States is to over--simplify the complex events of 1941.

    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.

The allies were led by Great Britain and were later named the United Nations by President Roosevelt. The allies were united in their fight against the axis powers.

Other countries joined and left the axis alliance during the war but it was these three countries that were at the heart of the axis.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Preface Considering the indirect linkage between public opinion, as reflected in the press, and government policy, in particular in the foreign policy sphere where the government is at its most secretive, it is not surprising that very little research into their inter-relationship has been carried out. It is easy to understand, therefore, that this situation applies with regard to pre-War Japan which had a more authoritarian tradition than most Western nations. Even the Japanese press, however, had a role to play in the formation of government policy and its attitude at times did have serious implications for foreign policy and diplomacy. In this sense, the decline of the Japanese press as an Opposition force between 1927 and 1933, which is the subject of this study, is significant.

    Why a Second World War? the Failure of Peace Overview Students

    Why a Second World War? The Failure of Peace Overview Students will study various agreements between American and European countries to ensure peace after World War I and evaluate their effectiveness. Students begin by studying a political cartoon of the Versailles treaty and learn how the treaty was viewed as a threat to world peace and stability shortly after it was signed. Students then examine various attempts by the United States and Europe at avoiding another world war. Students will demonstrate what they have learned and teach their classmates through a “living political cartoon” activity.

Prof. Dr. Hakan Kırımlı July, 2019 This thesis traces the steps of the Hungarian foreign policy from 1918 to 1946, and analyzes the impact of revisionism after the Treaty of Trianon on Hungarian foreign policy decisions and calculations after the First World War. Placing the Hungarian revisionism at its center, this thesis shows the different situation Hungary had as a South European power as an ally of Germany throughout the Second World War and subsequently under the Soviet occupation. It also argues that it was the interlinked Hungarian foreign policy steps well before 1941, the official Hungarian participation in the war, which made Hungary a belligerent country. Also, based largely on the American archival documents, this study places Hungary into a retrospective framework of the immediate post-war era in Europe, where the strong adherence to Nazi Germany and the Hungarian revisionism shaped the future of the country.

    The German Military Mission to Romania, 1940–1941 By RICHARD L. Di NARDO hen one thinks of security assistance and the train- ing of foreign troops, W Adolf Hitler’s Germany is not a country that typically comes to mind. Yet there were two instances in World War II when Germany did indeed deploy troops to other countries that were in noncombat cir- cumstances. The countries in question were Finland and Romania, and the German mili- tary mission to Romania is the subject of this article. The activities of the German mission to Romania are discussed and analyzed, and some conclusions and hopefully a few take- aways are offered that could be relevant for military professionals today. Creation of the Mission The matter of how the German military mission to Romania came into being can be covered relatively quickly. In late June 1940, the Soviet Union demanded from Romania the cession of both Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. The only advice Germany could give to the Romanian government was to agree to surrender the territory.1 Fearful of further Soviet encroachments, the Roma- nian government made a series of pleas to Germany including a personal appeal from Wikimedia Commons King Carol II to Hitler for German military assistance in the summer of 1940. Hitler, Finnish Volunteer Battalion of German Waffen-SS return home from front in 1943 however, was not yet willing to undertake such a step. Thus, all Romanian requests were rebuffed with Hitler telling Carol that Romania brought its own problems upon itself by its prior pro-Allied policy.
