Description
Frederick R. Dickinson's World War I and the Triumph of a New Japan, 1919-1930, offers a fresh perspective on Japan's transformation following the Great War. The book explores how Japan embarked on a decade of national reconstruction, rivalling the rebuilding efforts in post-Versailles Europe.
Dickinson examines the structural foundations of a new Japan, discussing the country's participation in post-war projects of democracy, internationalism, disarmament and peace. He argues that Japan's renewed drive for military expansion in the 1930s was not a failure, but rather the start of a tumultuous domestic debate over Japan's twentieth-century world.
This stimulating study provides a unique global perspective on interwar Japan, engaging students and researchers with its insights into a pivotal moment in Japanese history.
