The Japanese experience of war from the late-nineteenth to the
mid-twentieth century presents a stunning example of the meteoric
rise and shattering fall of a great power. As Japan modernized and
became the one non-European great power, its leaders concluded that
an empire on the Asian mainland required the containment of Russia.
Japan won the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-5) and the
Russo-Japanese War (1904-5) but became overextended in the Second
Sino-Japanese War (1931-45), which escalated, with profound
consequences, into World War II. A combination of incomplete
institution building, an increasingly lethal international
environment, a skewed balance between civil and military authority,
and a misunderstanding of geopolitics explains these divergent
outcomes. This analytical survey examines themes including the
development of Japanese institutions, diversity of opinion within
the government, domestic politics, Japanese foreign policy and
China's anti-Japanese responses. It is an essential guide for those
interested in history, politics and international relations.
