Japanese Foreign Policy in the Interwar Period

Mehr zum Buch

The analysis delves into Japan's independent policy-making between the world wars, starting from its discontent with the 1919 Versailles Peace Treaty. It explores Japan's frustrations over perceived limitations on its ambitions in China, while portraying British and American responses as reactive yet influential in shaping Japan's political factions. The account maintains a non-partisan perspective, fairly distributing responsibility for the events that led to the Second World War, utilizing a blend of English and Japanese sources for a comprehensive understanding.
