Question

What was Hideki Tōjō’s role prior to and in World War II? How did his slogan ""Asia for the Asiatics"" differ from the reality of Japanese imperialism?

Answer 1

¨Asia for the Japanese¨

Step-by-step explanation:

Hideki Tojo served first as a military attache in Berlin after World War I. After building up his military career he became first vice-minister and then minister of war in 1940. In 1941 he became prime-minister without losing control of the Ministry of War.

He pledged his government for a ' New order in Asia' that promoted the self-determination of Asian people without European imperialism. However, The Japanese turned out to be the worst cure for European imperialism for other Asian nations, in showing that the Japanese disciple surpassed the European master in imperialism.
