General Ishiwara Kanji: The China War🎙️ Episode 3

- This Podcast about General Ishiwara Kanji, the mastermind behind the Mukden Incident of 1931 and author of the Final War Theory.
Ishiwara Kanji was a fascinating person and one whose actions changed the entire world. It could be argued Ishiwara Kanji single handedly caused World War Two.
Ishiwara Kanji is known predominantly for two things, his role in the Mukden Incident and his Final War Theory. Ishiwara Kanji sought for Japan to invade Manchuria to acquire her natural resources to build up the Japanese military in preparation for his theorized conflict against the United States. In a rather ironic twist, Ishiwara Kanji ushered in the invasion of Manchuria, but fought against escalating the war against China proper.
Ishiwara Kanji performed the Mukden Incident, a false flag operation kicking off the invasion of Manchuria. The Japanese first seized Mukden, then expanded to places like Kirin, Jinzhou, Jiangqiao, Harbin, until all of Manchuria was now under Japanese control.
Yet Ishiwara Kanji did not seek a real war with China, his ultimate goal was simply to seize the resource rich part of Manchuria to build up Japan to face the United States. He sought an alliance with China and that of Asia in general. He began a campaign of racial harmony and this led to the formation of Manchukuo. However Ishiwara and the rest of the Japanese military argued about how to treat China proper. Ishiwara created the Concordia association and fought to form an alliance.
A rivalry emerged between the Kodoha and Toseiha factions and Ishiwara would find himself stuck in the February 26 coup d'état incident. He survived the incident unharmed politically, but his fight to stop a war with China fell apart quickly. Despite his efforts to stop the conflict from escalating, the China War broke out. In his depression Ishiwara was going to lose his military career, but his fight against the China War would go on.

This was at times confusing, but it seems this whole part of Japanese history is a bit confusing. Thank you for guiding us through this.
Excellent podcast, the whole series.
Underrated channel & subject matter in general.
Really great to listen to this.
Thanks so much, means a lot to me :)
Good day, could you please put the sources you've used in the description of your videos ? it would greatly help to learn more and it would be a step towards the improvement of historical accuracy and good practice of academical research on the English-speaking UA-cam. Thank you
Most of my episodes have them, unfortunately this one is really a podcast I simply laced some animation over. But for this series sources:
-Bix, Herbert P. 2001. Hirohito and the making of modern Japan. New York, NY: Perennial.
-Mitter, Rana. 2013. Forgotten ally: China's World War II, 1937-1945.
-Pike, Francis. 2015. Hirohito's war: the Pacific war, 1941-1945.
-Vogel, Ezra F. 2019. China and Japan: facing history.
-Peattie Mark R. 1975. Ishiwara Kanji and Japan's Confrontation with the West. Princeton N.J: Princeton University Press. (This one is the most insightful for Ishiwara's thinking)
There was also a plethora of articles, but for the life of me I can't find them in the old google docs (wrote this a long time ago). For english speakers, Peattie Mark's book is perfect and I found it does a good job explaining major cultural difference....but it also does kind of come off "apologetic" towards Ishiwara.
