Europe Taught Militarism to Japan, Says Harada
Dr. Yataku Harada, former president of Doshisha University, argued Japan’s modern development stemmed from adopting European civilization and was reinforced by militaristic European influence. He warned European aggression spurred Japan’s rise, while progress over fifty years created a new social and political order in Japan. He spoke at The Spirit of New Japan in Political Reconstruction in Oberli. He noted democracy spreading in Japan and described a rising government spirit. He contrasted Europe’s influence with Japan’s own resurgence in Asia, Australia, and other continents. The talk underscored a belief that European militarism taught Japan to be militaristic.
