The Root Cause of Deteriorating U.S.-Japanese Relations in the 1930s.
This paper examines the root cause of deteriorating U.S.-Japanese relations in the 1930s. It argues that the deterioration originated in the Japanese ultranationalism and militarism that threatened American security. Threatened by Japanese aggression, the United States imposed an embargo on Japan, which it felt would persuade Japanese leaders to moderate their aggression. The American embargo, however, only intensified Japanese aggression, since Japan became more desperate for raw minerals and international respect. 10 pgs. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
