How Did The Glorification Of Hirohito Advance Militarist Goals

While there’s a lot of historical debate surrounding the emperor’s alleged guilt in the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the invasion of China, one question remains – how did the glorification of Hirohito advance military and militarist goals? This question can only be answered if we first look at the role of the emperor in the war.

Although the emperor was seen as an important figure in Japan, his cult of personality and his ability to woo the populace was questioned. Shintos, Buddhists and Shinto sects considered him a divine figure. He was therefore elevated to a position of power, a role that he played in the wartime.

The emperor announced that Japan had surrendered to the Allied Forces but did so through a broadcast that never used the word “surrender.” The emperor continued to justify aggression throughout the war by presenting a new national mission. In addition to the emperor’s glorification, the emperor also made the alleged war crimes of his military units a source of national pride.

Japan’s asymmetrical relationship with the Russian Empire helped advance the imperial ambitions of the empire. It knocked Russia out of the eastern Pacific, and it added 250 million Chinese to its empire in a year. For four years, the rest of China was occupied and occupied by Japan. The Japanese grew their empire by two-thirds. However, the retaliation for this defeat of Russia was more bitter than the victory.

The Japanese military was not above taking advantage of the situation to advance their militarist goals. The 1930s saw unrest in Japan and the military used it as an excuse for its power grab. They sent a group of fanatic officers to Manchukuo, a staging ground for a war with the Soviet Union. The soldiers were defeated by other units of army and their leaders executed.

The Japanese death cult was driven by the belief in self-sacrifice and the death cult, which had a profound effect on the Japanese armed forces during the Pacific War. The government used propaganda to reestablish Japan’s Imperial system and placed Emperor Meiji as the central Godhead in 1868. The combination of the bastardised Bushido cult and the Social-Darwinist belief in Japan’s manifest destiny to dominate Asia resulted in murderous brutality.

As a result of these factors, the emperor’s decision to go to war prompted the U.S. government to sanction the annexation of Southern Indochina and the Allied invasion of the South Pacific. The glorifications of Hirohito promoted militarist goals, but also encouraged good faith between combatants and their enemies. This allowed wars to be settled without having to completely destroy the enemy.
