Frederick R. Dickinson illuminates a new, integrative history of
interwar Japan that highlights the transformative effects of the
Great War far from the Western Front. World War I and the Triumph
of a New Japan, 1919-1930 reveals how Japan embarked upon a decade
of national reconstruction following the Paris Peace Conference,
rivalling the monumental rebuilding efforts in post-Versailles
Europe. Taking World War I as his anchor, Dickinson examines the
structural foundations of a new Japan, discussing the country's
wholehearted participation in new post-war projects of democracy,
internationalism, disarmament and peace. Dickinson proposes that
Japan's renewed drive for military expansion in the 1930s marked
less a failure of Japan's interwar culture than the start of a
tumultuous domestic debate over the most desirable shape of Japan's
twentieth-century world. This stimulating study will engage
students and researchers alike, offering a unique, global
perspective of interwar Japan.
