Description
The Japanese Empire Grand Strategy from the Meiji Restoration to the Pacific War by S. C. M. Paine This analytical survey explores the development of Japan's institutions, the diversity of opinion within the government, domestic politics, Japanese foreign policy, and China's responses to Japan's growing empire. From the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, Japan's experience of war presents a complex and intriguing case study of a great power's rise and fall. A combination of factors, including incomplete institution building, a lethal international environment, and a misunderstanding of geopolitics, contributed to Japan's divergent outcomes. The Second Sino-Japanese War, which escalated into World War II, was a pivotal moment in Japan's history, with profound consequences for the country and the world. This book provides a comprehensive examination of Japan's grand strategy, essential reading for those interested in history, politics, and international relations.
