Western Propaganda about Japan's War Comparing With Japan's Perspective
We’ve learned that from 1920s to 1930s, Japan became a militaristic society engaged in an imperialistic, racially charged “holy war” on conquest across Asia and the Pacific. However, what was the United States perception of Japan during the Pacific Campaign of World War 2 from 1941-1945? There are several potential assignments you can do for this Extra Credit Project: 1) Compare the US and British propaganda art about the Japanese with examples by the Japanese about them. From John Dower, War Without Mercy (1986), pp. 194-203 (Allied propaganda art), pp. 204-213 (Japanese propaganda art.) Please feel free to utilize Dower’s book in your argument. 2) Take the historical information from the documentary “Japan’s War in Color” (link up on Moodle, WARNING: graphic content) using Japanese leaders, soldiers, and civilians letters about what they thought about the war from its beginning to end, and compare it with an American made Pacific War documentary (NOT FILM or historic drama.) There are many out there, and I want you to choose! If you aren’t sure if it is good, send me the link or name! What are the different perspectives between the two nations?
