Germany Influence On Japan's Declaration Of War

During the Imperial Conference of December 1, 1941, Prime Minister Tojo announced that “The United States not only refused to make even one concession” but that “At the same time, the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and China increased their economic and military pressure against us” (87). This gave Japan no choice but to begin a war with the U.S., Japan, and the Netherlands. Additionally, Foreign Minister Togo emphasized that Japan could not accept the proposal made by the U.S. because the conditions would hinder and put at risk the success of the Japanese Empire. In order for Japan to not only continue working towards establishing a New Order for East Asia, but to also maintain their position on an international level, war was the necessary step to take because if they continued to try to negotiate then they would most definitely have regressed.

just one man. Germany did not cause the war alone, as will soon come clear. Germany felt encircled, as there was a strong friendship between Russia to the east of Germany and France to the west. Germany felt it was their attempt to surround and threaten them and as Germany was already jealous of the huge build-up of arms in Russia, there was an immediate rivalry between them. Germany had Germany didn't have much of an empire which made Britain outraged, as they could see no reason to build one due to this, but Germany said they needed a navy to protect their growing trade. Germany had always admired the way Britain ran their empire and had always wanted a navy like them so when Britain raised the stakes by launching the HMS Dreadnought, Germany responded by building their own. From 1906-1914 the two countries raced to build as many dreadnoughts as they could and in 1909 Germany came very close to beating them. By 1914 however, Britain had 29 and Germany had 17 Dreadnoughts. Britain had every right to be suspicious of Germany, as they had no need for a navy. Germany was jealous and envious of Britain and wanted to be more like them so that's the more the reason why they would want

The First World War was not caused singularly by Germany and Austria-Hungary as the treaty of Versailles has set out. Germany is greatly responsible for much of the tension of the world situation in 1914, resulting from its aggressive policy of Weltpolitik, its attempts to have a superior navy, the Kaiser's personal poorly said remarks, and its attempts to break up the Triple Entente. However Germany was not solely responsible for the tension, many other events had occurred outside Germany's control, which had the same effect. Germany was also largely responsible for allowing the conflict in the Balkans to escalate into a major European conflict, by giving Austria-Hungary free reign, though it was not their intent. However Germany should

The foundation of Japanese imperialism, which eventually led to World War II was in the Meiji Restoration of the 1870’s. At that time, pro-war sentiment and desire for national strength and growth arose as the national attitude of the Japanese people. Certain groups, which advocated return to the traditional Japanese ways, began to grow in power. Shinto, the traditional religion of Japan, was revived with a new emphasis on emperor worship. By the time Emperor Hirohito assumed power in 1926, the nation was ready for a second restoration.1

Which means the German and many other colonies may possibly be under international condiserattion due to the war.

There are two different kinds, the Equitable claims and the intrest of population concerns. Equitable claims made by Japan and Great Britian because they are going to use them as submarine bases.

Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor was the catalyst to the United States of America entering World War II. Not only did the event affect foreign countries, but it also the people within the nation. Japanese Americans were oppressed, forced to sell their belongings and sent to internment camps while the war was underway. Many are aware of the latter, but most do not know why it happened. In February 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the Executive Order 9066, which ordered the internment of people of Japanese heritage in identified areas. In spite of national security and economic issues partially being the cause of the Executive Order, the most notable was the social and racial attitudes towards the Japanese.

World War II was a very historic period. It lasted from 1939 to 1945, almost 6 years. During this period the Allied nations, consisting of Britain, France, America versus the Axis power, consisting of Germany and Japan. The Australia/ America Alliance was solidified due to Japan’s involvement in war. The

pounds for the damage caused by the war. Not only was this required, Germany was to be disarmed. Germany was only allowed to have a small army and six naval ships. They were not allowed to have tanks, airforce and submarines, along with the Rhineland area was to be demilitarised.

Britain and France had to declare war on Germany due to the Treaty agreement with Poland. In 1939, Britain and France promised Poland Leaders that they would never leave them against Germany alone. As well as signing a series of military agreements. When Germany attacked Poland, France did declare war on Germany and reached towards the Siegfried line on Germany’s western line but they directly stopped when Germany resisted them. In the other hand when Britain declared war on Germany, and started bombing Germany. They soon realized that they couldn’t evaluate the pressure of Germany on them. Also they didn’t have a précised plan for offensive operations in the west, both in air and land. Which led them to refuse France requests in raising air

The Second World War is characterized by extreme levels of violence, hatred and brutality perhaps never seen before in history. Germany and Japan although separated by thousands of kilometers, and never participating in joint military conquest before, both waged fierce wars, and participated in cruel occupation of other nations. Both were key members of the Axis powers and wanted to see their flags fly over their respective hemispheres, extending their own sway and dominion. Driven by similar ideologies and themes, the major Axis powers fought broadly similar, though not identical wars.

Japan and Germany both left WWII on the losing side. Germany came out of the war with approximately 7.2 million deaths in the population, while Japan’s was around 2.8 million deaths. Were Japan and Germany’s motives really worth going to war for? Japan ended the war getting nuked twice, and realizing they weren’t the militaristic powerhouse they once thought to be. While Germany had lost territory that was won from Poland and the Soviet Union. WWII is the last world war to date, this is due to the greater amounts of negative than positives war brings. For Germany they killed jews as they said they would do, but with the killings of jews meant killings of non jewish Germans too. Japan was able to show their strength in arms briefly, only to

After World War II, new influences and ideals started to make an impact on Japan like never before. Japan’s defeat resulted in westernization, and the country started to transform into what it is known for today—modern manufacturing for countries all over the world. Many traditionalists disapproved of this idea of transitioning into being iconic for materialistic and bourgeois ideologies and now felt isolated within their own country because their views were extremely different from the new views generated from this change. Yukio Mishima’s discomfort with Japan’s conversion to westernization, lack of military and political influence is evident as his main point in The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea. Traditional Japanese beliefs had been built off of the ideas of honor, death, and glory, and Mishima believed that, with this transition into modern Japan, a so called “lack of glory” became prevalent. Through the characters of Noboru and Ryuji, Mishima incorporates the theme of alienation to highlight his own life experiences, feelings and disapproval during Japan’s transition to modernization.
