The Dual Tracks of Modern Japanese Diplomacy: Alliance and Aggression
by Zhu Haiyan
About This Novel
Japan's diplomatic strategy in modern times was to pursue alliances and aggression and expansion in parallel. When facing a strong one, Japan chooses to partner with it to strengthen its energy for external expansion. When facing a weak one, Japan uses naked force to invade. In Japan's modern diplomatic history, the alliance between Japan and Britain and Japan's invasion of China are typical cases that demonstrate Japan's two-front diplomatic strategy. Through analysis and research, we can see how Japan maneuvered between alliances and aggression to serve its "national interests." However, Japan's preference for strong alliances prevented Japan from clearly recognizing the fundamental contradiction between its desire for expansion and its own strength, which ultimately led to Japan's defeat.
