Science, technology, and medicine all contributed to the emerging
modern Japanese empire and conditioned key elements of post-war
development. As the only emerging non-Western country that was a
colonial power in its own right, Japan utilized these fields not
only to define itself as racially different from other Asian
countries and thus justify its imperialist activities, but also to
position itself within the civilized and enlightened world with the
advantages of modern science, technologies, and medicine. This book
explores the ways in which scientists, engineers and physicians
worked directly and indirectly to support the creation of a new
Japanese empire, focussing on the eve of World War I and linking
their efforts to later post-war developments. By claiming status as
a modern, internationally-engaged country, the Japanese government
was faced with having to control pathogens that might otherwise not
have threatened the nation. Through the use of traditional and
innovative techniques, this volume shows how the government was
able to fulfil the state's responsibility to protect society to
varying degrees. Chapter 14 of this book is freely available as a
