Description

Revolt Against the West: The Breaking of the Interwar International Order and the Making of the German-Japanese Alliance During the 1930s a series of international crises increasingly destabilized the fragile international order established after the First World War and guaranteed—in theory at least—by the League of Nations. Dr. Panzer will discuss how the actions of Japan in particular, beginning with the invasion and occupation of Manchuria in 1931, provided inspiration and justification for a more radical approach to international politics in Germany, which eventually led to the two states brokering an alliance premised on a mutual hostility towards Western liberalism.
