Abstract:

Western stereotypes of Japan’s actions in the early part of the twentieth century tend to prioritise “aggression”. This lecture offered Japanese perspectives on the reasons for expansion and desires to attain Hakkō ichiu [“All eight corners of the world under one roof”]. It reflected particularly on Japan’s proclaimed role as liberator from the yoke of the Anglo-American powers.
