Common Themes Between Japanese And German Ideologies During World War II

339 Words2 Pages
Common themes between Japanese and German ideologies in the years leading up to the initiation of the Second World War, I think, run deeply within the personal values of the leaders and thus as national values. Both countries were highly militarized, imperialistic nations seeking expansion - a combination which inevitably leads to violent conflict.

Hitler's German was one built upon the honor and valor of medieval Germany. As can be seen in Nazi propaganda, artwork and other displays of ideology, Hitler wanted Germans to reconnect with rural life and farming, and he believed his "master race" deserved this at all costs. Based on the principle of Blut und Boden (blood and land), the Aryan race was connected to the land and was entitled to farm

The Russo-Japanese war was a brief war that lasted for approximately one year that was stimulated from Russia’s desire to expand into Asian territory. The growth of the Russian empire specifically posed a problem for the Japanese because both Russia and Japan desired to obtain the same territory. On February 8, 1904, the rivalry between Russia and Japan over dominance in Korea and Manchuria became evident when the Japanese launched a surprise attack and siege on the Russian naval squadron at Port Arthur. The war continued with attacks on Russian territory in the Liaotung Peninsula, Mukden, Fu-hsien, Liao-yang, etc. The majority if not all of the battles were won by the Japanese military because Russia suffered from poor and corrupt military

After WW1, one of the main things that infuriated Germany was losing lots of territories, and one of the reasons that they were mad was because, with the loss of these territories, they also lost their military strategies and their reach over Europe. This loss of territories gave rise to the manifesto that Adolf Hitler wrote where he said “the restoration of the frontiers of 1914 could be achieved only by blood.” (Document A, Mein Kampf) Although losing territories is hard, an even harder thing about losing those territories would also put a strain on the people living in those places because, with these new owners of those territories, the old Germans would have to adapt to the new ways and cultures of those people. These facts lead to WW2 by causing distress and anger among the people of Germany and giving an opportunity to the rise of Adolf

According to History.com [3], “Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or Nazi Party, grew into a mass movement and ruled Germany through totalitarian means from 1933 to 1945.” So, during the time of WWII, in the Pacific theater, Nazism was the dominating political system. In Japan (Taisho and Early Showa Period [4]), “During the 1930s, the military established almost complete control over the government.” In the Pacific Theater, Japan was a Militaristic country, so the military controlled almost everything, while the Emperor was more of a figurehead, with little power. These two forms of government are very different.

Murder, death, and destruction versus relocation. During WWII, the Japanese were relocated away from vital military locations and moved inland into Japanese Internment Camps. The European Jews, Gypsies, mentally ill, and anyone that opposed Hitler were put into Concentration and Death Camps. Some people think they are the same, but I think otherwise. The Japanese Internment Camps and German Concentration Camps were not the same thing because, their leaders views are very different, intentionally causing harm or unintentionally causing harm, and conditions in the different types of camps.

American patriotism, American Presidential leadership, and civil liberties all were similar during World War I and World War II. Limits were placed on the people’s civil liberties, patriotism was shown, and Presidential leadership was evident through many events. For example, during WW1 Civil liberties were being suppressed. Americans could not show freedom of speech (such as protesting and voicing one’s opinion) without having negative consequences. Citizens were being forced to support the war and the draft, if they opposed it jail was the result: “During World War I, the government prosecuted more than 2,000 dissenters for opposing the war or the draft...most judges were quick to mete out severe punishment — often 10 to 20 years in prison — to those deemed disloyal” (Civil Liberties in Wartime p14).

Japanese-American Relocation in the U.S. During World War II During World War II, many Japanese Americans were relocated by the orders of President Roosevelt. The launch of this war was due to the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941 as the national security was feared mainly on the west coast. The order was made to relocate all persons inland, citizens and noncitizens, who are part of a Japanese descent, mainly to prevent any infiltration and protection from those Americans who would want to take anger out on the Japanese. Since this order, 117,000 Japanese- Americans were affected, and about 66% were native-born citizens to the U.S.

Japan started World War Two because they were going through an economic crisis and believed that China had oil, which was what they needed. That was the start of Japan’s involvement, which over time progressed to the other countries. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 which blindsided America. The U.S decided to move all Japanese-Americans and relocate them to a designated area to protect the U.S from the possibility of any Japanese-Americans helping Japan from the U.S. These actions would change the life of Japanese-Americans forever.

America treaded the path towards World War II with trepidation, until its people were convinced that action must be taken when the incident of Pearl Harbor occurred. From that point on, American citizens began mobilizing to aid their nation in hopes for victory against the Axis Powers. In order to keep up morale certain measures, such as the use of false advertising, were imposed. The influence of American propaganda during World War II led to an exploration of government authority through the use of censorship, exploitation of women, and incentive to contribute to the war effort.

During World war 2, Japanese Americans were viewed as a threat to national security. To ensure the safety of all Americans, thousands of Japanese Americans were forcefully placed in internment camps. Numerous people lost their lives, separated from their families, and lost their homes and other valuable family possessions. Though safety was the top priority, individual freedom should not have been offered as a sacrifice. With the allocation of Executive Administrative Order 9066, President Roosevelt violated individual rights, created mistrust between citizens, and misused government powers.

Can an antiquated lens provide an adequate examination and understanding of modern warfare? The theories of Carl von Clausewitz retain remarkable contemporary merit and relevance in explaining the critical elements affecting warfare in the modern era. Carl von Clausewitz’s theories of war endeavor to be comprehendible, comprehensive, and strategic. Clausewitz contends that the conduct of war itself is without doubt very difficult. But the difficulty is not that erudition and great genius are necessary to understand the basic principles of warfare.1 Clausewitz 's 1812 essay, the Principles of War, offers military commanders, with little campaign experience, a comprehendible, comprehensive, and strategic model for attaining victory in battle.
