The comparison of early Italy's and Japan's colonialism is without
precedence. The majority of studies on Italian and Japanese
expansion refer to the 1930-1940s period (fascist/totalitarian era)
when Japan annexed Manchuria (1931) and Italy Ethiopia (1936). The
first formative and crucial steps that paved the way for this
expansion have been neglected. This analysis covers a range of
social, political and economic parameters illuminating the
diversity but also the common ground of the nature and aspirations
of Japan's and Italy's early colonial systems. The two states
alongside the Great Powers of the era expanded in the name of
humanism and civilization but in reality in a way typically
imperialistic, they sought territorial compensations, financial
privileges and prestige. A parallel and deeper understanding of the
nineteenth century socio-cultural-psychological parameters, such as
tradition, mentality, and religion that shaped and explain the
later ideological framework of Rome's and Tokyo's expansionist
disposition, has never been attempted before. This monograph offers
a detailed examination of the phenomenon of colonialism by
examining the issue from two different angles. The study
contributes to the understanding of Italy's and Japan's early
imperial expansion. In addition, it traces the origins of these
states' similar and common historical evolution in late nineteenth
and the first half of the twentieth century.
