 Konoe Fumimaro History Summary
Konoe Fumimaro was a prominent politician between World War I and World War II and the prime minister of three cabinets between 1937 and 1941.
In his university years, Konoe came to view international relations as a class struggle between overbearing "have" nations and grasping "have-nots." The latter group, according to Konoe's world vision, included Japan, which he believed was held in its inferior status by the major powers and their handmaiden institution, the League of Nations.
Konoe's belief that a Japanese hegemonic role in Asia was essential to keep order in the region played into the hands of the military.

The "objectives" to be obtained were clearly defined: a free hand to continue with the conquest of China and South-east Asia, no increase in US or British military forces in the region, and cooperation by the West "in the acquisition of goods needed by our Empire".

Konoe quickly persuaded Hirohito to summon them for a private conference instead, at which the Emperor made it plain that a peaceful settlement was to be pursued "up to the last".
