From Democracy To Fascism
Download as PPTX, PDF7 likes2,369 views
Japanese democracy failed in the early 20th century due to a combination of internal and external factors. Internally, the Diet had limited power, corruption was rampant, and economic problems grew during the Great Depression. This led to the rise of fascism through nationalist groups and a stronger military influence. Externally, worsening relations with Western powers and the rise of Chinese nationalism weakened civilian rule and strengthened the military's role in government. By the mid-1930s, Japan had become a military-controlled state rather than a democracy.

The rise of fascism in Japan was influenced by both internal and external factors. Internally, the failure of democracy led to economic problems and corruption which weakened public support. Externally, Japan felt threatened by Western expansion and Chinese nationalism, as well as being discriminated against in international agreements. The powerful military grew increasingly influential and promoted nationalist ideology, leading to a fascist takeover in the 1930s.The rise of military in japan (1930 1945

Japanese militarism began in the late 19th century and peaked from 1931-1945. It was driven by a desire to modernize and strengthen the military after lacking resources. The military gained independence from civilian control and influenced government formation. Nationalist secret societies encouraged Japanese racial superiority and overseas aggression. This led Japan to create the puppet state of Manchukuo in China and expand militarily into other parts of Asia until its defeat after the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.Japan Builds an Empire

Japan began building its military in the 1850s after opening trade with the US. It gained territory after fighting with allies in WWI. Growing nationalism and economic struggles led the military to gain influence in the 1930s. The Japanese army seized Manchuria from China in 1931 in an event known as the "Manchurian Incident" and established Manchukuo as a puppet state under its control. Japan then invaded more of China in 1937, committing atrocities like the Rape of Nanjing. Seeking resources, Japan declared the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and began expanding its empire across Asia.USHIST Chapter 15

The document discusses the rise of tensions between the Soviet Union and Western allies like the United States following World War II, leading to the Cold War era. It describes how the Soviet Union exerted control over Eastern Europe by installing communist governments and suppressing opposition. The West responded through policies like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan to contain Soviet expansion and rebuild Western Europe. It also discusses the Berlin Blockade crisis of 1948-1949 and the formation of NATO in response to Soviet actions.Why Did Japan Invade Sea

1) Japan invaded Southeast Asia due to fears of being seen as weak by Western powers and a desire to become a strong world power rather than be colonized.
2) Japan also needed more living space and resources to support its growing population and economy. A lack of natural resources and protectionist trade policies during the Great Depression exacerbated these issues.
3) A militaristic government gained influence in Japan and viewed the use of force to create an overseas empire as a way to solve economic problems, which the public supported due to past military successes. The failure of the League of Nations to stop other aggressors made the military bolder in their plans to invade Southeast Asia.Japanese Militarism in WWII
Japanese Militarism in WWIIDan McDowell

Militarism rose in Japan after World War 1. The Great Depression weakened Japan's economy and led to a military dictatorship taking control in the 1930s. Japan sought to dominate Asia economically and militarily by reviving its economy, leading Asian modernization, and freeing Asia from Western influence under an "East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." Japan's aggression in Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937 faced little opposition. Japan later joined the Axis alliance and attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941 after the U.S. threatened to cut off oil and other supplies, drawing the U.S. into the war.Outbreak of WWII in Asia-Pacific

The document summarizes Japan's recovery after World War 2 across political, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions. Politically, Japan transitioned to a constitutional monarchy and adopted a democratic constitution overseen by US General Douglas MacArthur. Economically, US financial support coupled with a strong work ethic led to rapid economic growth and the replacement of zaibatsu financial groups with keiretsu companies. Socio-culturally, land ownership reforms occurred and citizens were granted rights promoting unionization while preserving Japanese culture. By 1952, Japan had fully recovered sovereignty and developed into a stable democracy and economic powerhouse.USHIST Chapter 12

The document outlines the events leading up to World War II. It describes Japan's growing military aggression in the 1930s, including the invasion of Manchuria and establishment of a puppet state. As Japan continued its expansion into China, committing atrocities like the Rape of Nanjing, its actions isolated it from other countries. Meanwhile in Europe, Germany remilitarized under Hitler and annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia through appeasement. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France declared war, beginning World War II in Europe. Italy then joined the war on Germany's side while the U.S. pursued neutrality.

After World War I, Japan pursued increasingly expansionist policies in Asia driven by a need for natural resources, extreme nationalism, and perceived insults from Western powers. In 1931, Japan invaded Manchuria and in 1937 launched a full-scale invasion of China, taking the capital of Nanking. During the Nanking invasion, Japanese soldiers committed horrific atrocities against Chinese civilians. By this time, the military had largely taken control of the Japanese government and was led by General Hideki Tojo, though Emperor Hirohito remained a figurehead. Seeking more resources, Japan next began expanding into Southeast Asia.Bmc hist unit 2.2_rise of japanese_militarists

Just as in Europe, Fascism began to spread its influence in the Asia Pacific region. With a foothold in Japan in the late 20s and 30s - Japan's militarists were able to slowly gain political power in a political system that was losing support due to mishandling of economic and social policies. The new politicians from the far Right had all the solutions as they planned the take over of the political system. Their ultimate goal - to see an Imperial Japan with an Empire that would match those of the Western powers. This lecture dwells into how this group of "ultras" slowly gained influence and power.23 2

The Second Sino-Japanese War lasted from 1937 to 1945. It began when Japan invaded China seeking natural resources. Over the following years, Japan captured many Chinese cities and ports, while both sides engaged in scorched earth tactics, resulting in millions of civilian deaths. By 1940, a stalemate had emerged, but China's position weakened as foreign aid declined. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor drew the US into the war against Japan, but logistical challenges prevented much direct support for China. The war ended in 1945 after the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan and the Soviet Union invaded Manchuria.30.3 communism s pread in east asia

Mao Zedong led the Communist forces to victory in China's civil war in 1949, establishing communist rule. His leadership brought major changes like collectivization of farms and the disastrous Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution programs. Communism also spread to North Korea, with the country dividing after WWII and Kim Il Sung establishing a communist dictatorship in the North. This led to the Korean War as the North invaded the South in 1950, which ended in a stalemate but firmly established communist rule in North Korea and capitalist influences in the recovering South Korea. Overall, communist victory in China and North Korea's division increased tensions between the US and Soviet-backed states in East Asia during the Cold War.5 communism in china

The Communists took over China through a strategy of gaining widespread rural support. During World War II, the Communists and Nationalists temporarily allied against the Japanese, but resumed their civil war after Japan's defeat. The Communists promised land reform that appealed to oppressed Chinese peasants. By 1949, the Communists had driven the Nationalists from most of China and established the People's Republic of China, with Mao Zedong as its leader. However, some countries did not recognize Mao's new government.Chinese revolution ppt

However, Japan still relied on imported oil, mainly from the US. In 1941, the US embargoed oil exports to Japan in response to its expansion. With only six months of oil reserves left, Japan launched a surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, hoping to neutralize American power long enough to seize European colonies in Southeast Asia for their oil and other resources. The attack drew the US fully into World War II on the Allied side, making it a truly global conflict.Marxism (Part II)

Italy expanded its control over Africa in the 1930s while Germany increasingly violated the Treaty of Versailles by remilitarizing the Rhineland and annexing Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia. Japan also grew more aggressive during this time, invading Manchuria in 1931 and seeking to drive Western powers out of Asia as part of its goal to dominate the region and gain access to resources and living space. The League of Nations condemned these acts of aggression but was unable to stop them due to lacking enforcement powers.a2 govt. and politics fascism in the 21 century

The document discusses the long history of antisemitism and persecution of Jewish people around the world. It notes that the Holocaust did not start with Hitler, as Jewish people had been scapegoated and persecuted for centuries prior in many places, including being expelled from countries like England, France, Spain and others between the 13th to 16th centuries. Specific events highlighted include persecution of Jewish communities in Egypt and Alexandria in the 1st century AD, the destruction of the temple and expulsion from Judea by the Romans in 66 AD, and laws passed in 612 AD stating only Catholics could live in the Visigoth kingdom in Spain.Greece - The rise of fascism

The economic crisis in Greece, deepened by the measures imposed by the Troika, have brought the country into a state of decay. Almost all layers of the population are hit and despair is reigning supreme. The support for the traditional 'moderate' parties is fading away, resulting a a polarization of the society. The missed chances of the radical left resulted in a serious push of fascism. They are increasingly, openly and proudly using violence against migrants. The weakening Greek state and the police force, of which over 50% voted for the fascists, do not intervene. The radical left has the historical responsibility to put forward appealing, radical left policies in order to counter the fascist threat. Fascism, Nazism, And Instability

The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that emphasized reason, science, and individualism rather than tradition. During this era, scientists like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, and Boyle made discoveries that challenged traditional beliefs and established the scientific method. Philosophers such as Locke, Montesquieu, Voltaire, and others promoted ideals of liberty, constitutional government, freedom of religion, and separation of powers. Their works helped spread ideals of the Enlightenment and encouraged using reason to improve society and advance human knowledge.PS 240 Fascism Spring 2014 (part 1)

Fascism is a totalitarian ideology that seeks to control all aspects of society and life through an authoritarian government to fulfill its vision. It claims to synthesize various political philosophies like liberalism and socialism. Fascism emphasizes nationalism, reactionary beliefs, and charismatic leadership over detailed programs. It aims to forge social rebirth based on nationalism and a radical "third way" rather than left or right. Fascism relies on techniques like portraying external threats to stir fear and patriotism to gain support.US Capitalism Presentation

This document discusses the history and current state of US entrepreneurial capitalism. It outlines how capitalism has evolved since the 1970s, with wages stagnating while executive pay and consumption rose. Recent issues like the financial crisis revealed weaknesses in relying solely on free markets. While capitalism has lifted living standards, its current form prioritizes short-term profits and consumption over community. Going forward, reforms may be needed to make corporations more democratic and develop a balanced system that benefits all of society.Fascism in Italy

The document discusses the rise of fascism in Japan in the early 20th century. It outlines several factors that contributed to the growth of fascist ideas in Japan, including the failure of democracy to solve economic problems, corruption, and restrictions on Japanese power from foreign treaties. The document also examines external factors like American expansionism in Asia, immigration laws targeting Japanese people, and a resurgent Chinese nationalism, which threatened Japan's ambitions and further pushed the country towards militarism and fascism.Japan and imperialism

The document summarizes issues with the League of Nations, including the United States and Soviet Union not joining until later and lacking enforcement power. It also discusses conferences like the Five-Power Treaty regulating naval strength and the Kellogg-Briand Pact outlawing war. Militarism grew in Japan due to overpopulation and a need for resources. Emperor Hirohito had absolute rule while the military influenced policy. Tensions increased due to the Great Depression, Japan's invasions of China, and US embargoes in response. Hideki Tojo became prime minister in 1941 while consolidating military power.IB History; Case Study 1: Japanese Exapansion

The Yi Dynasty in Korea went into decline in the late 16th century due to several factors: chronic conflicts weakened the authorities; the country was devastated by Japanese invasions in the late 16th century and invaded by Manchus in 1626. Korea was then poorly prepared to resist Western imperialism in the 19th century and rejected foreign ideas. It suffered under Japanese rule from 1910 to 1945 before being divided after World War II, with the South and North each backed by opposing superpowers.Japanese reactions to imperialism

The document discusses Japan's occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. It began with Japan annexing Korea in 1910 after crushing Korean resistance. This started a period of harsh rule as Japan banned political organizations, censored the press, and arrested thousands of intellectuals and nationalists. After World War 1, Korean nationalism and protests grew, such as the March 1st Movement in 1919. In response, Japan eased some restrictions in the 1920s to foster more cultural and economic cooperation, but maintained political control over Korea.Japanese Occupation of Korea

The document provides an overview of Japan's occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. It discusses key events that led to Japan formally annexing Korea in 1910 after Japan had defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. The occupation period saw Japan heavily censor information and crack down on Korean nationalism and political dissidents. There was widespread resistance, most notably the March First Movement of 1919 where Koreans protested for independence. Japan later eased restrictions in the 1920s to foster more cultural development while still maintaining control over Korea.Road To War Pacific

The document summarizes Japan's imperial expansion in Asia and the Pacific prior to World War 2, driven by its goals of acquiring territory, resources, and living space. It describes Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and increasing aggression in China from 1937. As relations soured with the United States due to its occupation of China, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. This brought the US into the war and led to years of fighting across the Pacific as the US retook lost territories in a strategy of island hopping until atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 led Japan to surrender.History of japan

The document discusses Japan's modernization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It describes how Japan had isolated itself for years, falling behind other nations industrially. However, after opening up to Western influence, Japan was inspired to modernize in order to become a strong, powerful nation like the Western powers. The US and European nations played a key role in motivating Japan's industrialization and military buildup. Japan looked to the Western examples and adapted Western ideas and technologies to develop its own empire and industry. The document asserts that Western influence, especially from the US, was instrumental in launching Japan's modernization process.Japan in Isolation and Japan and the World

The document discusses Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It provides context that Japan was angered by U.S. sanctions and believed the U.S. would interfere with its imperial ambitions. The attack on Pearl Harbor shocked the U.S. and brought them into World War II as allies with Europe. The bombing of Pearl Harbor marked a turning point that changed the trajectory of World War II and led to U.S. involvement in helping the Allied forces.World War II Ebook

World War II began in September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Several factors led to the war, including the global economy after WWI, the rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia, and American isolationism. When the US entered the war in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor, American citizens rallied together through rationing, war bond drives, and increasing industrial production. US forces fought major battles in North Africa, Europe on D-Day, and island hopping in the Pacific, helping to defeat the Axis powers.The Japanese Colonial Occupation of Korea

Tokugawa Iemitsu was the third shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty in Japan who ruled from 1623-1651. He is known for introducing a period of isolation in Japan where the country cut off almost all foreign contact. This isolationist policy helped bring political and social stability during his time as shogun but also helped preserve Japanese culture and traditions as the country developed with little outside influence for over 200 years under Tokugawa rule. Studying figures like Iemitsu provides insight into Japan's history during the Tokugawa period and how it shaped the country.

Japan is an archipelago located in East Asia. It has over 127 million people living on islands that are mountainous with little arable land. Japan has experienced significant cultural influence from China, adopting Chinese writing and Confucian ideals. For over 200 years starting in the 1600s, Japan had a feudal system and isolated itself from other nations. In the 1800s, the US forced Japan to open trade, starting a period of modernization and westernization that transformed Japan into an industrial and military power. During WWII, Japan invaded other Asian countries but was ultimately defeated by the US's atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Today Japan has a strong economy and culture that blends traditional and modernSec 4N Hist (Elec) Chapter 6: War in the Asia-Pacific (Japan)

Japan felt compelled to wage war in the Asia-Pacific region for several reasons. It had long-held ambitions of establishing itself as a powerful empire with colonies across Asia. Additionally, Japan was experiencing economic and population crises at home. The militarists in power saw expansion across Asia as a solution. When the League of Nations failed to check Japan's aggression in Manchuria, it emboldened further expansion. As European powers focused on war in Europe, Japan saw an opportunity to replace their colonies in the region. Trade sanctions by the US pushed Japan towards war to secure resources. In 1941, Japan launched attacks across the Asia-Pacific in an attempt to establish greater colonial control and deter US interference.Japan: From Feudalism to Corporate State
