We have plenty of videos about
that period of German history.00:00:10
But today I want to talk about another country that decided
to build a great empire, to invade its neighbors,00:00:16
to feed off people’s resentment, to declare its supremacy,
and in the end — to wage war against the entire world.00:00:23
We will be talking about Japan in the first half of the 20th
century. For Japan, 1930th was a time of military victories,00:00:29
of widespread propaganda, unfettered imperialism,
but also of international isolation, hardships,00:00:35
and huge losses of human lives. We know how that period
ended for the Japanese — with World War II00:00:41
on the side of Hitler’s Germany, nuclear bombardment, and
capitulation. But how did it come to this? Let’s figure it out.00:00:51
We are recording this video in the streets of Helsinki.
Remember how in one of my latest videos I asked you00:00:58
to help me to get in contact with european politicians, well
here in Finland i’ve managed to meet with several members00:01:04
of the Parliament. So in today’s video we
will once again have a form in the description.00:01:08
If you know someone who could help to arrange a
meeting between me and influential European politicians00:01:17
so that I could relay to them the stance of the Russian
civil society on everything that’s happening now,00:01:23
please fill the form below. Let’s begin!00:01:32
Japan was a closed agrarian country under
shogunate rule until the mid 19th century.00:01:40
The country was conducting the policy of isolationism,
fully meeting its little needs00:01:45
and seemingly saw no use for foreigners.
All communication with foreigners and what little trade00:01:52
they did was happening on a single artificial
island of Dejima. It all changed in 1854,00:01:58
when the USA forced the Japanese to sign
some extremely unfavorable trade treaty00:02:02
and to open the country for foreigners.
14 years later, a revolution happened in Japan,00:02:08
but it wasn’t a turn from monarchy to republic, but the
opposite, the supreme power was returned from military00:02:15
rulers, Shogun, to emperors, that period of the
country's history is called the Meiji Restoration.00:02:22
During that period, Japan saw the breakdown
of traditions, liberalization of society,00:02:28
and introducing western knowledge and technologies.
But the new government wasn’t west-oriented.00:02:36
Its primary motives were to end the trade treaties that
were forced on the country, and fear of becoming00:02:43
a colony of one of the western nations. They had reasons
to fear that, at that time India was a British colony,00:02:51
Indochina was mostly subjugated by France,
and the territory of modern China00:02:55
was divided among European countries and America.00:03:00
How do you not end up as someone else’s colony?00:03:02
Well the obvious way is to make it difficult and dangerous
for anyone to try and make you one.00:03:08
So Japan began creating a new army. For this purpose,
a rapid industrialization was carried out.00:03:13
Factory machines were bought, factories were built, cities
were growing, the population was becoming more urbanized,00:03:18
businesses were developing. The creation of the new
armed forces was proceeding with great success,00:03:23
and by the end of the 19th century, the Japanese army
and navy could compete with European armies.00:03:31
But if you put all your resources into the creation
of the army, soon you’ll see those00:03:36
who are in control of that army having hella lot of power, and
military people in Japan still had the memory of how they00:03:45
were running the country for 250 years.
Obviously they wanted those good times back.00:03:51
So the voices of the military were becoming ever louder,
completely drowning out the voices of liberals and such.00:03:59
Very soon it was generals, not reformist ministers,
who were dictating its politics to the emperor.00:04:07
Thus, the Meiji Restoration took the power from
the military, led to liberal and economic reforms,00:04:13
the growth of education and wealth, the fruits of these
reforms were used to strengthen the army — and voila,00:04:19
the military were back in power, but there is a nuance here:
when a country is run by the army,00:04:26
it’s not particularly interested in peace.
The military simply doesn’t want it.00:04:31
When a country is living in peace and thriving for economic
growth, it becomes more interested in market managers,00:04:39
not generals.00:04:46
You want to somehow use that
weaponry that you’ve just produced.00:04:50
in addition, industrialization is a costly thing.
When Japan was an agrarian country,00:04:56
it could meet its needs on its own.
But factories need a lot of fuel, and a lot of metal.00:05:01
They need a lot of cheap labor.
The isles were lacking all of it.00:05:06
Such was the result: the desire to not become someone
else’s colony led the country to desire colonies of its own.00:05:14
TOTALITARIANISM IN JAPAN00:05:19
In order to grow its influence and, of course,
to gain access to much needed resources,00:05:23
Japan begins a war against China
over the protectorate over Korea.00:05:28
Investment into the army pays off, and the
Japanese win the war by defeating China.00:05:34
Taiwan became the first
of the Japanese colonies.00:05:37
The Japanese could capture a considerable
part of the continental China,00:05:42
but Russia, Germany, and France interfered. They forced
Japan to accept huge indemnities instead of annexing land.00:05:53
The Japanese won the war, but propaganda
convinced people that the western interference00:06:00
was an insult to the nation. Like, those
white colonists interfered with our affairs again.00:06:07
The nation accepted that idea and didn’t give it up for a very
long time. Soon, they had a chance to get even for the insult.00:06:14
Russia had its own interests in China and wanted a small
victorious war, while Japan desired new conquests.00:06:21
The idea that you need to use your economy to become
a regional leader was quickly put aside,00:06:31
We all know from school what the Russian-Japanese
war was — the utter defeat of Russia00:06:37
who had underestimated its enemy. Not only the
Japanese won the much wanted protectorate over Korea,00:06:45
but also a half of Sakhalin, and full control of Port
Arthur and of the railroad through Manchuria.00:06:51
Korea basically became a Japanese colony, it provided
the isles with food, natural resources, and labor.00:07:00
It is worth noting that Japan nearly broke its neck
during the war against Russia — so it took everything00:07:06
it could at the negotiation table, and
quit the war as a winner in time.00:07:09
But even such massive conquest wasn’t
enough for the Japanese society,00:07:13
which was already heated with militarist propaganda.
Papers called any compromise in negotiations a defeat,00:07:19
and pushed Japan to continue its attacks on neighbors.
But actually, Russia’s defeat was a huge victory for Japan. 00:07:26
Japan had become a power to be reckoned with.00:07:29
Naturally, bragging and glorifying the great Japanese
navy had soon become a national idea in Japan.00:07:36
During WW1, Japan fought against Germany, but in
practice, its participation in the war came down00:07:41
to Japan taking all German ports in China. Having ports in
China was great, and the low cost of the war was even better.00:07:51
It took decades for Europe to recover from WW1,
but Japan lost almost nothing and gained a lot.00:07:56
Add conquests in the beginning of the century
and you get economic growth.00:08:01
Liberals once again raised their heads in the
government, but unfortunately for the Japanese,00:08:05
they once again lost a political battle to the military.
The vile senses were running too strong00:08:11
in the society and they could
be easily used to manipulate it.00:08:16
What Japan looked like by the end of 1920th?
It was still a country where most people were farmers.00:08:23
The urban population was somewhat educated,
but “somewhat” is the key word here.00:08:28
Enough to work on factories and read newspapers,
but not enough to question the ideas that were being00:08:34
imposed upon them.00:08:37
Living in an industrial society isn’t exactly
luxurious for the common people.00:08:41
In short, there were enough problems and discontent.
So what can you offer to farmers and workers,00:08:47
who were also farmers just yesterday?
Well you can offer them a communist revolution,00:08:52
but it doesn’t align well with the rule of the emperor.
You can offer them economic growth, rights and freedoms,00:08:58
political pluralism, and liberal
democracy with all its benefits.00:09:03
But it will take some time for proletarians
to accept and appreciate such ideas.00:09:07
Or you can offer them the idea of the Great Empire
of Japan, of equally Great historical00:09:13
grievance and Great chauvinism towards neighbors.00:09:16
Plus, natural resources are finite, and the
post-industrial world is still decades away,00:09:22
so guess it's gonna be war
again, it’s just how it works.00:09:25
Manchuria had the misfortune to become the target.00:09:28
The Japanese government was telling its subjects
that there was no legitimate power there,00:09:33
only separate gangs and warlords,
all because of the revolution in China.00:09:38
It was telling them how back in the 7th
century, that land was a vassal to Japan.00:09:41
About the remains of the brave warriors who died in the
Russo-Japanese war that were lying there.00:09:48
About the need to protect their rightful conquest —
the railroad that was taken from Russia.00:09:53
But most importantly, to punish China.
For treating Japan as its cultural province00:09:59
and a second-grade country for centuries.00:10:01
For not giving up its lands after the first
Chinese war, for begging help from the West.00:10:08
Now it was the time to show who was the
Great Empire and who was a Mere Republic.00:10:12
Plus, Manchuria had all those natural
resources just lying around.00:10:16
The land demands constructive work,
and who can do that, if not great people of Japan?00:10:22
To guard the railroad from Trans-Siberia to Dalny port,
in 1931 Japan formed the Kwantung army00:10:28
and sent it to China's territory. On September 18 in the same
year, patrols reported that the Chinese blew up the roadway.00:10:37
It didn’t cause significant damage to the railroad, but
propaganda called it a terrible “act of terrorism” —00:10:45
and on the next day, the Japanese troop
entered Mukden, the capital of Manchuria.00:10:50
It was still not the beginning of a new war —
Japan liked to delay declarations of war.00:10:56
They called it the “Manchurian Incident”.
It lasted for nearly six month.00:11:01
And by Spring of 1932, it somehow just happened that
the whole of Manchuria fell under Japanese control.00:11:06
Did Japan annex the captured territory?
Of course not, that would be wrong.00:11:11
On the territory that was liberated from republican Сhina,
a new independent state, Manchukuo, was created.00:11:22
Puyi, the last emperor of China, was put at the head of the
new country — the Japanese moved him there “from Rostov”,00:11:27
i.e. from the city of Tianjin that was
under the Japanese control.00:11:35
Japan was the only one to recognize
the independence of Manchukuo.00:11:38
Once again they’ve chosen a perfect
moment to take some land from China.00:11:41
The USSR was too busy at the moment,
fighting hunger and internal enemies.00:11:45
The West still didn’t recover from depression and from
WW1 in general and preferred to solve00:11:50
all conflicts without the use of force. China could not fight
Japan and could not appeal to the League of Nations.00:11:56
The League finally condemned the
Japanese intervention two years later,00:11:59
but Japan responded to it by simply leaving the League
of Nation and adding it to the list of its grievances.00:12:06
How come Americans were allowed to create a puppet
state of Panama, but us Japanese can’t do the same?00:12:11
Anyway, the Great Empire has no need to
be in one organization with white colonizers.00:12:17
As a result, Japan took control of 4 times
more land than it itself occupied.00:12:22
The society was ecstatic — the support of military actions
was beating all records. Was Japan finally satisfied?00:12:29
Of course not. You can’t be brainwashing people with militant
propaganda, can’t be telling that you only have two allies —00:12:36
your army and your navy — only to then say: alright, we’ve
accomplished all that we wanted, thanks for your support,00:12:41
now it’s time to live peacefully.00:12:44
Obviously the military who were
running the country wanted more.00:12:49
And since Japan had left the League of Nations,
there was no need to reckon with the West anymore.00:12:56
Appetite comes with eating. Before they only
wanted to free Manchuria from an illegitimate00:13:02
government and lay their hands on its natural resources
in the process, but now Japan desired the control00:13:07
of the entire East Asia, the propaganda would later
call it “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere”.00:13:16
It’s like the Eurasia Project or Russian World but in Japanese
— all countries must clear themselves from western influence,00:13:26
drive out the white colonizers, and be
living in unity and mutual assistance.00:13:30
Obviously, Japan was to lead the Co-Prosperity, being
the most advanced country both in military and culture.00:13:39
The real goal of the expansion was to capture enough land
and resources so that Japan could exist in full autonomy00:13:47
and separate itself from the rest of the world.00:13:53
Some generals wanted to start building the new world
order from Indochina, some — from Siberia,00:13:58
but in the end they decided to again go with China: it was
closer and they’ve already achieved some victories there.00:14:03
Between 1931 — the year when Japan
captured Manchuria — and 1937,00:14:07
Japan got involved in multiple incidents with China and
created several quasi-states in the North of China.00:14:14
What use did Japan have for all
those new satellite states?00:14:16
They could’ve just annexed them like they did with
Taiwan, China wasn’t up for a fight anyway.00:14:23
Well, first of all, Japan wasn’t really at war with China,
it was merely involving itself in the fate of its neighbors. 00:14:33
Second, Japanese generals were supposedly
moving the real border from Japanese isles.00:14:39
Like, if there was an attack, the aggressor would break its
teeth in the colonies, long before it could reach Japan itself.00:14:46
They weren’t really getting into details
of who was going to attack Japan.00:14:51
At home, such expansionist policy
was enthusiastically supported.00:14:55
Finally, the country has the glory it deserves.
Finally, our enemies are being punished.00:15:00
Finally we’ll be able to enjoy decent living standards.
Well, a few more wars and we will.00:15:05
We’re seeing one victory after another,
so it won’t be long. Such was probably their thinking.00:15:11
Propaganda worked hard. It began with schools where
students were told how to properly love the Emperor00:15:16
and what the great mission of Japan was.00:15:19
There was an organization similar to boy scouts or pioneers
that was preparing boys for future service in the military.00:15:25
Newspapers and radio were bringing the
ideologically correct information to the subjects.00:15:30
That was actually the only kind of information that was
available — there was harsh censorship in the country.00:15:35
Of course, the ideas of a unique Japanese mentality were
being carefully cultivated and used for propaganda purposes.00:15:41
Or “Japanese national character” as they called it.
What properties does a true Japanese person have?00:15:48
Shouldn’t be difficult for you to guess. A true Japanese is
loyal to the Emperor. He loves his motherland and his family.00:15:56
He honors the traditions of his ancestors.
We call them traditional values.00:16:00
And if you don’t value tradition and speak something against
the will of the Emperor then you are not a true Japanese00:16:08
and must be put on the right path. It was considered an honor
and almost a duty to die for the country and the Emperor.00:16:15
The word “pacifism” had become a slur: people of
Japan were united and pacifism was alien to them.00:16:22
Only communists opposed the war of conquest in
China, for which they went into prisons.00:16:29
All the western “-isms” in general were declared hostile
phenomena that didn’t align with true Japanese traditions.00:16:38
Liberalism, selfishness, individualism00:16:42
Well they did make friends with nazism and
fascism in the end, but that happened a bit later.00:16:48
After Japan left the League of Nations, there was a popular
opinion: like, we were all poisoned by western ideology,00:16:56
and now we’re cleared of it and have returned to the true
Japanese spirit. Soon we will build a new civilization,00:17:02
the East Asia civilization, and it will be
collectivist and of high moral standards.00:17:08
And the brave people of Japan took that mission,
disregarding all hardship and danger.00:17:15
All coincidences are accidental, as they say.00:17:20
WHAT DID IMPERIALISM DO TO JAPAN00:17:25
Where can such rhetoric lead? Where does a road made
of isolationism, chauvinism, exceptionalism, xenophobia00:17:33
and unfetteret militarism lead to?
We can see it in the example of Japan —00:17:38
right to Hell it leads, i don’t know
how else to say this. 00:17:41
Pushed by their excessive patriotism, the Japanese
collectively opened one hell of a Pandora’s Box,00:17:48
and some of its contents would
be an envy to Hitler himself.00:17:52
Because when you begin toying with milinant moods
in the society and in the heads of your generals,00:17:57
you cannot just stop, do you remember how “patriots”
demanded in the comments to not withdraw from Kyiv00:18:05
and to take over Ukraine all the way to Lviv even though
anyone with or without eyes could see that it was impossible?00:18:10
In the same manner, the Japanese propaganda,
followed by people, demanded more and more00:18:14
conquests from the country that had
already overexerted itself by that time.00:18:18
The slogans were in line with the demands:
“Asia for Asians” and “100 million hearts beating as one” -00:18:26
it meant that all citizens of Japan want the same thing.
First they started a full scale war against China in 1937.00:18:33
Once again, they didn’t declare it. China is a big country
to conquer, no matter the political circumstances there.00:18:42
Japan held a contingent of several hundred thousand
soldiers in China, losing up to 50 000 every year!00:18:48
That war wasn’t without its terrible atrocities.00:18:52
When Japanese troops under the command
of Prince Yasuhiko took Nanking in 193700:18:59
(the capital of China at the time), there
was mass execution of prisoners and civilians.00:19:03
The Nanking Massacre continued for six weeks. By various
estimates, up to half a million people have become victims.00:19:10
Unit 731, a special unit that conducted
experiments on creating a biological weapon00:19:17
and unveiling hidden capabilities of a human
organism, has gotten especially notorious.00:19:22
The experiments were being conducted on
living humans, mostly Chinese or Soviet prisoners.00:19:26
Not a single one of ten thousand
test subjects left the lab alive. 00:19:31
Mass murder and turture are inevitable
consquences of dehumanizing an enemy00:19:36
and declaring everyone around an inferiors.
In total, from 19 to 35 million people00:19:43
died in China during the Japan-Chinese war.00:19:46
Obviously, after commiting such horrible war crimes,
Japan could not hope to find any other allies00:19:53
than the Nazi Germany or Mussolini’s Italy.00:19:56
The Japanese signed an anti-communist
treaty with Hitler back in 1936, and in 1940,00:20:00
the Tripartite Act was signed, which divided the
future world between countries of the Axis.00:20:06
Japan was now supposed to get the entire Asia. And in Japan
itself, people were expected to keep tightening their belts.00:20:14
There was a deficit in the country —
all the resources went to the front. rice,00:20:18
sugar and matches were only obtainable with stamps.
There was a new slogan: “Luxury is our enemy”.00:20:26
But economic difficulties can only make us stronger,
we can’t stop now when we’re on our way to greatness.00:20:32
So the Japan command, not realizing what was
happening, kept pushing further and further at all sides.00:20:40
In the North they were fighting Mongolia and the
USSR, in the South they were capturing Oceania.00:20:45
They even had a plan to attack Australia. When they
started to run out of enemies of the Japanese Nation,00:20:54
the military decided to deal with the main
offender of the last century — the white colonizer.00:21:02
And declared England and America their enemies.
Few people in the country realized that00:21:07
the Empire just signed itself a death sentence.
You’ve probably figured it out by now00:21:12
that true Japanese don’t declare wars.
That is why on December 7 of 1941,00:21:17
Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor without warning
and destroyed the American fleed and forced00:21:22
the US to enter WW2. It couldn’t end worse for Japan.
It ended with nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.00:21:32
With the bombardment of Tokyo.00:21:34
With the utter defeat of its army in Manchuria.
Japan surrendered, and allies took power in the country.00:21:40
But it was the world after WW2 now, so
Japan didn’t become a colony for white colonizers.00:21:47
The occupants demilitarized Japan
and gave it a new democratic constitution.00:21:53
Among other things, it proclaims Japanese pacifism.00:21:57
Already in ten years, the democratization
led to an unprecedented economic growth.00:22:02
Technologies from the despised
West have flooded the country.00:22:05
And guess what, it turned out that with the right tax policies
and a bit of science you can turn those technologies00:22:10
into things that are in high demand all over the world.
Japanese nationalism has transformed as well.00:22:17
No longer did the Japanese think that they were better
than others. That they were destined to rule over Asia.00:22:22
Now their nationalism was telling the people: we are
a nation of hard working people, let’s use our advantages00:22:29
to make our land and our country prosper. That’s it.
No superiority. No dreams of taking over half of the world.00:22:38
The Japanese wanted to become one of the
world's centers by fighting everyone they could reach.00:22:43
But only after having suffered defeat after they once
again opened themselves to the world, they succeeded.00:22:52
They’ve emerged as one of the most
important players in the world..00:22:56
And oh they succeeded. In 1968, Japan had become
the second largest economy in the world after the USA.00:23:03
And remained one for 40 years,
until China took that place in 2010.00:23:09
CONCLUSION00:23:15
It’s difficult to not draw analogies between Japan in
the first half of the 20th century and today's Russia.00:23:23
But they would be far from perfect.00:23:26
The roots of Japan’s aggression and totalitarianism were
different and closer to Stalinism, Nazism, and Fascism00:23:33
than what we see today in Russia.00:23:36
The young Japanese society, mostly agrarian,
saw successes and hardships of industrialization00:23:41
and was too vulnerable against propaganda of militarism.
The world, and primarily Asia, paid a terrible price for it.00:23:49
The Japanese themselves could not and didn’t
really try to deal with their military dictatorship.00:23:56
The Allies did it for them, by defeating the country
that wanted to dominate over the entire Asia.00:24:01
But even after such a cursory glance
at the history of Japan in the first half00:24:06
of the 20th century we want to draw some conclusions.
If you cultivate the cult of war, of exceptionalism, of resentment00:24:14
in a society, you cannot simply stop.
How did it happen in Japan?00:24:19
One war turned into another, economic difficulties kept
growing, but the military dictatorship didn’t care —00:24:25
it pushed itself to conquer ever more land and to fight ever
more enemies. It didn’t know any other way to exist.00:24:32
The second conclusion: if a single ruling group gains
enough power to do anything it wants and to drag a country00:24:39
into any adventure it wants — it won’t care
about neither the economy nor common sense.00:24:45
We already talked about it in a video about the
role of the FSB in starting the war against Ukraine.00:24:50
In Japan, it ended not just with the death of the
regime, but huge losses of human lives.00:24:55
Not only in occupied countries, but in the aggressor
country itself. Of course, Putin’s regime pales in comparison00:25:02
to the sacred power of the Emperor of Japan.
It also has no chances of achieving military success in Ukraine.00:25:09
So I want to believe that Russia will not have to live
through the nightmare that Japan lived through.00:25:15
That our country can deal with its dictatorship
without help from the outside. If that happens,00:25:21
we will have a chance to not just rebuild, but to
develop — both culturally and economically.00:25:26
But in the example of Japan we see where the path that
Putin and his propaganda is dragging Russia into can lead.00:25:33
The path that we must turn away from.00:25:38
See you tomorrow.Description:
People usually compare Putin’s Russia with Nazi Germany in 1930th. But today i want to talk about another country that decided to build a great empire by invading its neighbors, by playing with the sense of resentment within its society, by proclaiming its superiority over others, and in the end, by fighting against the entire world. Today we are talking about Japan in the first half of the 20th century. _________________________ Если вы можете организовать встречу с кем-то из европейских политиков, заполните короткую анкету https://forms.gle/ugnMEhA16rYVGjjZ9 _________________________ #Japan #history 00:00 INTRODUCTION 01:31 JAPAN IN 1930TH 05:15 TOTALITARIANISM IN JAPAN 17:22 WHAT DID IMPERIALISM DO TO JAPAN? 23:11 CONCLUSION
