Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere (Kyūjitai: 大東亞共榮圈, Shinjitai: 大東亜共栄圏 Dai-tō-a Kyōeiken) was an attempt by Japan to create a bloc of Asian nations free of influence from Western nations. The idea of the Co-Prosperity Sphere was announced by Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yosuke on August 1, 1940 in a press interview, but went back many years. It is remembered today largely as a front for the Japanese control of Axis-occupied countries during World War II, in which puppet governments manipulated local populations and economies for the benefit of wartime Japan. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Greater_East_Asia_Co-Prosperity_Sphere   (375 words)

East Asian Studies Documents: Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere The new Asia was to be known as the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. For the present, the smaller co-prosperity sphere shall be the zone in which the construction of East Asia and the stabilization of national defense are to be aimed at. The states, their citizens, and resources, comprised in those areas pertaining to the Pacific, Central Asia, and the Indian Oceans formed into one general union are to be established as an autonomous zone of peaceful living and common prosperity on behalf of the peoples of the nations of East Asia. www.isop.ucla.edu /eas/restricted/geacps.htm   (1373 words)

Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere The Japanese envisioned the Co-Prosperity Sphere to be an autarkic bloc of Asian nations led by the Japanese and free of Western powers. The Co-Prosperity Sphere turned out to be just another form of oppressive imperialism in place of the imperialism previously imposed by Western nations. Economic reasons played a large role in Japan's announcement of the Co-Prosperity Sphere in 1940. wgordon.web.wesleyan.edu /papers/coprospr.htm   (766 words)

pacificconflict.doc Briefly outline the theory behind the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity sphere. According to the ideals behind Japan’s concept of a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Japanese would free other Asians from European control and offer them the opportunity for advancement and independence. Nevertheless, it also could be argued that Japan’s imperialism was largely responsible for the rapid decolonisation of Asia in the period after 1945. www.htansw.asn.au /studyguide/pacificconflict.doc   (257 words)

Japan Focus Article From Hegel's perspective, all these issues belonged to the political sphere and the formation of the state: hunting races were regarded as the lowest and crudest because hunter-gatherer communities were so small that the political specialisation of labour demanded by a state was impossible. Asia, like Europe, wants to create regional institutions strong enough to counterbalance the power of the United States. Although they are historically opposed in substance, the various Asian nationalist discourses - the Japanese departure from Asia and joining Europe the national autonomy advocated by the Russian revolutionaries, and the Pan-Asianism of Chinese revolutionaries - were all based on the idea of the antithesis between the nation-state and empire. japanfocus.org /article.asp?id=226   (3100 words)

The Idea of Asia by Anthony Milner and Deborah Johnson, Publications, Faculty of Asian Studies, ANU This value was to increase as the Japanese moved toward the Pacific war in the middle of this century, the idea of 'Asia' was to become of critical ideological value in the conceptualising of the Japanese Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere. Recent discussion of the Mahathir-inspired East Asia Economic Caucus, as we have seen, suggests that this proposed organisation is in some sense a revival of the old Co-Prosperity Sphere again giving Japan (and not America or Australia) a central role even though Malaysians have been its chief proponents. To speak in terms of 'Asia', it is argued, is reflective of a long-standing tendency of Western intellectuals to view the region in exploitative or security-minded terms. www.anu.edu.au /asianstudies/idea.html   (7812 words)

South Pacific Strategy 1942 Through 1945 MacArthur was named the supreme commander of the Southwest Pacific area, which included all of the Netherlands East Indies except for Sumatra; Australia; the Philippines; the Solomon Islands; and the Bismarch archipelago. Later, however, it was determined that Spurance's decision was correct---that all the forces that remained in the Sea were needed---and that the critics had only been engaged in wishful thinking that the war would be over sooner than it was destined to be. The backers of the Central Pacific route of attack argued that strategically it would provide a faster method of assault, it would be over sea instead of the slower land route of the South, and that it would deprive the Japanese of time to prepare for each step of the assault. www.globalsecurity.org /military/library/report/1988/LD.htm   (3127 words)

One on One by Dennis Elam And ironically, Japan did achieve its Greater East Asia Co Prosperity Sphere, even though it lost the war. In fact we are on East Austin street, just past North Elk, in a residential subdivision of Fredricksburg, home of the Admiral Chester Nimitz Museum and specifically, the "History Walk of the Pacific War." Let’s take a stroll and see what those horrible battles foretold about the commercial future of Japan and the United States.

TIMEasia Magazine: Asian Journey - Empire Of the Sun Before the decade was out, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere would be no more than a bad dream, and the Japanese people, decimated in bloodshed, shattered in faith, would see in the ruins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki the wreck of all their illusions. But I feel some compensating irony, too, to think that, when both those empires were dead and gone, such old sorrows of Asia would eventually lead to the prosperity and even the happiness of nations.

Japan's plan to accept 10,000 young people from Asia as students and in other capacities over the next five years is included in the declaration's action plan as a measure to expand exchanges between the people of Japan and its Asian neighbors.

The talks come a week after North Korea said it had no intention of returning to the negotiating table for six-party talks and declared that the nation has nuclear weapons and is prepared to build more.

The Pearl Harbor Day Page The U. war plans strategy had been "Europe first", but the Japanese attack caused a far greater effort to be directed early on to the pacific than would otherwise have been expected and fueled the will of the U. to completely defeat Japan regardless of the cost. The prevailing belief within the Japanese military and political establishment was that eventually, with the then expected German defeat of Great Britain and Soviet Russia, the United States' non-involvement in the European war, and Japan's control of the Pacific, that the world power structure would stabilize into three major spheres of influence: The goal of this attack was to sufficiently cripple the US Fleet so that Japan could then attack and capture the Phillipines and Indo-China and so secure access to the raw materials needed to maintain its position as a global military and economic power. www.ccdemo.info /PearlHarbor/PearlHarborDayRemembered.html   (1937 words)

Attack on Pearl Harbor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After the Meiji restoration, Japan embarked on a period of significant economic, political, and military expansion in an apparent effort to achieve parity with the western powers who had influence or possessions in east Asia and/or the Pacific. It went on to conquer Southeast Asia, the Southwest Pacific, and to extend its reach far into the Indian Ocean. Concerned over losing their hard-earned status and prestige in the international community if they backed down ("loss of face") and the perceived threat to their national security posed by the western powers who controlled territory in the Pacific and/or east Asia, Japan decided to pursue the latter option. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor   (7347 words)

Allied Military Scrip The Japanese incorporated conquered nations in Asia and Oceania into the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", their name for their span of control over these territories. The Nazis considered occupied territories to have been absorbed into the "Greater German Reich", a designation given to all German-held territories outside the boundaries of Germany proper. Soldiers needed some way other than barter to pay for food and other goods and services purchased in the local economies. www.coba.usf.edu /satterfield/warstuff/allied_military_scrip.htm   (234 words)

Asia Index During the 1980s, when the US was preoccupied with fighting the Soviet Union, Japan was building a covert Co-Prosperity Sphere in East Asia. For East Asians, East Asian success is particularly the result of the East Asian cultural stress on the collectivity rather than the individual. The financiers and economists behind Australia's "joining Asia" were also pressuring the Asian countries to "open up", and via the Basle Accord of 1988 and the Asia Crisis of 1997 brought them down; so, behind the scenes, there was a battle for dominance, between Nippon and Zion. users.cyberone.com.au /myers/asia.html   (7784 words)

Untitled Document After World War II erupted (1939) in Europe, Japan signed a military alliance with Germany and Italy, sent troops to Indochina (1940), and announced the intention of creating a “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” under Japan's leadership. In the early years of the war, Japan had conquered vast new territories, including a large part of China, SE Asia, the Philippines, and the Dutch East Indies. Unable to neutralize U.S. opposition to its actions in SE Asia, Japan opened hostilities against the United States and Great Britain on Dec. 7, 1941, by striking at Pearl Harbor, Singapore, and other Pacific possessions. www.promotega.org /hgr00009/Japan.htm   (471 words)

The agreement recognised Japan's self-assumed role in establishing a "New Order" in East Asia, and provided for mutual assistance should any one of the three powers be attacked by another country not already involved in the European conflict or the war in China. For its part, Japan recognised the threat to its plans for further territorial expansion in East Asia created by the expansion of the American navy. www.users.bigpond.com /battleforaustralia/historicalbackground/JapWarPreps.html   (1422 words)

Something racist goes here MetaFilter True, the Navy was less parochial and understood the difficulties involved, but the Army and Navy only communicated as much as necessary, if that, and the Army didn't give a crap about anything but their East Asia empire. Japan was on the march in Asia; the Japanese Navy had the doctrine, training, and equipment to repel any american attempts at moving towards Japan's new-won empire in East Asia, and at any rate it was the Navy's sacred duty to the emperor and nation to rise to the occasion and fight like warriors.
