The Great Depression affected the economic and social circumstances of the world's major powers, contributing to armed conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. This volume focuses exclusively on Japan, which witnessed a flurry of progressive activities in this period, activities which served both domestic and international society during the \"tumultuous decade.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars, \u003cem\u003eTumultuous Decade\u003c\/em\u003e examines Japanese domestic and foreign affairs between 1931 and 1941. It looks at Japan in the context of changing approaches to global governance, the rise of the League of Nations, and attempts to understand the Japanese worldview as it stood in the 1930s, a crucial period for Japan and the wider world. The editors argue that, like many other emerging powers at the time, Japan experienced a national identity crisis during this period and that this crisis is what ultimately precipitated Japan's role in the Second World War as well as the global order that took shape in its aftermath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMasato Kimura\u003c\/strong\u003e is director of the Shibusawa Eiichi Memorial Foundation. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTosh Minohara\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor in the Graduate School of Law at Kobe University. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 9.01 x 6.07 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 18, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751771406624,"sku":"9781442612341","price":75.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0747272ea2353c7bc563f2a17544aba6.webp?v=1779979779","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/tumultuous-decade-empire-society-and-diplomacy-in-1930s-japan-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
