what led to tension between the us and japan in 1937

Answers


 The USA and Japan had been expecting war with each other since 1900, the US had War Plan Orange which thought Japan would attack the Philippines.


Japan had the Tanaka Memorial as it is now called first published in 1927 that declared Japan's intentions to conquer all of Asia and the Pacific ocean islands including the US west coast, Panama and much of Pacific Latin America!

Japan wanted to be a world power and control all of Asia and all land that touched the Pacific and Indian Oceans. She had no resources and to get resources she was prepared to conquer the world or part of it. Also the Shinto religion demanded that Japan's emperor as the son of the Sun Goddess accept the Sun godessess mission to rule the world.

The US in contrast favored open and free trade not spheres of influence in places like China and while we did have a colony in the Philippines it was being prepared for independence, to be granted in 1944, when Japan attacked us in 1941.

Japan began to carve out colonial territories as early as 1895 in Taiwan. In 1905 She fights the ZRusso-Japanese war against Tsarist Russia and ends up with a bloody stalemate. The US brokers a peace deal called the Portsmouth Treaty which did not allow Japan nor Russia to keep their conquests in what was then called Manchuria, today north China. Both sides pull back to their pre-1905 positions. Russia did not pay Japan any money as Japan demanded and Japan kept control of Korea.

Japan saw this as a US sell out and begins planning a war to take over much of China. After WW1 when Japan fights Germany she is allowed to keep her conquests of the German colonies in China and the Central Pacific islands.

In 1932 and again in 1937 Japan embarks on a bloody war of conquest in Manchuria (1932) and China (1937) the US opposses this by diplomatic pressure and an arms build up. Both sides have been planning for a war at this point for 30 or more years. The US begins to arm the Chinese.

In June 1941 Japan occupies French Indochina to cut the Chinese supply routes, todays Laos Cambodia and Vietnam which the US has said will result in an oil and raw materials embargo. The US is Japan's biggest source of oil, we are the worlds largest oil exporter in 1941!

To Japan this sanction is the final straw and she begins war planning to start the war after the fall rice harvest is done in November-December 1941. The US moves the fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor.

Ok the three main causes are:

1) US desire for free trade with China directly clashes with the goals of Japan both religious and economic to create a Pacific empire and control China.

2) Japan and the US see each other as potential enemies whose differences will not be settled by diplomacy after the 1905 Portsmouth Treaty because the US rejects the idea of empire and announces it will leave the Philippines in 40 years. Japan who wishes an empire cannot allow this because to justify her claims to empire she needs the Euro-American colonial powers as a scape goat. If the US frees the Filipinos then perhaps the British might too leave India or the Dutch their colonies. Japan wants to appear as liberators to the peoples of Asia not new colonial conquerers.

3) Japan invades China and US-Japanese relations sour, the US imposes economic sanctions on Japan after she invades Indochina and Japan rather then loose face, that is be humiliated and leave Indochina and China chooses war.


No doubt there were many issues that the US had with Japan, but none of that had anything to do with the immediate attack on the US by Japan. FDR maneuvered Japan into attacking us for one reason: HE NEEDED TO GET INTO WAR WITH GERMANY IN ORDER TO SAVE BRITAIN from iminent defeat.


But once FDR knew that there had not yet been an attack on Manila by the time he had to deliver the actual message to Congress the next night, the sentence structure had to be changed from plural attacks on Manila and Hawaii to the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obbvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago."



" THE DECISION TO BOMB "


June, 1945
During the bloody struggle to take the Philippines and Okinawa, President Truman and his military were concentrating on an invasion of Japan. The U.S. Navy was cruising off the Japanese coast and submarines were patrolling the Sea of Japan. Those in power in Tokyo were making plans for a house-to-house resistance to any invasion. Japan had over 5 million men under arms, of which 2 million were stationed on the home islands. Based upon the dogged resistance at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the allies determined that as many as 500,000 to one million allied soldiers would die if the invasion, scheduled for November 1, 1945 took place.


U. S. President Harry S. Truman, English Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin met in Potsdam, Germany between July 17 and August 2, 1945, to discuss strategies to end the war in the Pacific.

What was the main idea of social Darwinism, and how did it compare with the idea of individualism?

Answers

Answer:

Social Darwinism is a collection of idealism that initiated in late 1800s. Their main belief is in survival of the fittest.

The term Social Darwinism is generally used to reflect the various ways of thinking and theories that involves in the second half of around 19th century and tried it to apply the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection to human society.

The mass of those who have been signified as social Darwinists did not express themselves by such a label.

Answer:

Social Darwinism is a social view that the development of society is based on the teachings of Charles Darwin. In this case, the human community is understood as a battlefield of existence, where the strongest subjugates the weaker according to the laws of nature. Herbert Spencer was the father of social Darwinism.

The basic principle is that the development of man and society takes place through the exclusion of weak individuals. Therefore, according to social Darwinism, poverty has a function to fill; it cleanses society of weak individuals and prevents them from passing on their bad genes. Moreover, differences in society are a natural and necessary consequence of the development of society. Restrictions on economic freedom are detrimental, as they hinder society from developing.

This theory has a clear relationship with individualism as a current of thought, since the main motto of Social Darwinism, "the survival of the fittest", in itself encourages development at the individual level to prevail over the rest of society.

How did great britain exert significant influence in china during the late 1800s?

Answers

Britain influenced China by establishing a British government in Hong Kong, in its quest for opium and fine products from Asia. Great Britain and some European countries began the trade of opium paying with gold for this one, since the European products had a low demand in China; this was part of the trade imbalance with China. There was a huge demand in Europe for Chinese tea, silks and porcelain pottery, which led to two wars, called the Opium Wars, in which China lost and had to accept the terms of Europe, while its population began to become addicted to opium. The British way of life and the addiction to opium, plus intervention in the Chinese government, only ended with the arrival of the Communists.

What agreement included admitting california as a free state, eliminating the slave trade in washington,
d.c., and passing the fugitive slave act?

Answers

The compromise of 1850 eliminated the slave trade in the district of Columbia (d.c) and also admitted California as a free state but to please the southern states the fugitive slave act was passed along side of it 

Answer:

The agreement that included admitting California as a free state, eliminating the slave trade in Washington DC, and passing the Fugitive Slave Act was the Compromise of 1850.

Explanation:

The 1850 Compromise was created in the United States during Millard Fillmore's presidency to renew the Missouri Compromise, also called the 1820 Compromise, on slavery regulation and California's future status.

The agreement was drafted by Democrat Stephen Douglas, senator from Illinois and Whigen Henry Clay, senator from Kentucky, and was generally directed at the spread of slavery, but gave concessions to slave states, including the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which established certain common principles on whether escaped slaves would be returned to its owners across state borders.

The main measurements of the Compromise were:

-California was incorporated as a free state to the Union. Previously, it had been proposed to divide the state into a free state and a slave state, when it crossed the latitude proposed in the Missouri compromise.

-Texas gave up all claims to New Mexico territory while its state debt was taken over by the federal government.

-Slave trade was banned in Washington D.C. while slave owners were allowed to keep slaves in the capital (both the existence of slavery in the capital and its surface donated by two slave states, Virginia and Maryland, made the issue controversial).

-The Fugitive Slave Act required authorities in free states to return escaped slaves under certain circumstances. This part of the agreement was seen by slavery opponents as a betrayal and increased the abolitionists' resistance to the institution. Another consequence was that Canada became a main target for escaped slaves (slavery had been abolished in the British colonies in 1833). The law was declared invalid by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 1854, and the Washington Federal Supreme Court repealed the ruling in 1859, two years before the outbreak of the Civil War.
