In this episode we look at how Japan by 1931 has developed to be on the brink of a fascist state without anyone specifically taking power or staging a coup. The democratic reforms from the past four decades are dying a death by a thousand cuts as the Japanese administration and military simply take one small decision after the other that erodes freedom, dials back democracy, and inevitably leads to war. It&#8217;s an anonymous, mechanic, gradual movement towards global conflict proceeding with clockwork precision.<\/p>\n<p>This episode also sees the first change to the Between 2 Wars set as Astrid and Wieke have started adapting the set to the changing themes, while we move closer and closer to the outbreak of WW2 &mdash; we&#8217;d love to hear what you think!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot_2019-09-04-Japan-the-Bureaucratic-War-Machine-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1931-Part-2-of-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot_2019-09-04-Japan-the-Bureaucratic-War-Machine-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1931-Part-2-of-3-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-50802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot_2019-09-04-Japan-the-Bureaucratic-War-Machine-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1931-Part-2-of-3-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot_2019-09-04-Japan-the-Bureaucratic-War-Machine-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1931-Part-2-of-3-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot_2019-09-04-Japan-the-Bureaucratic-War-Machine-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1931-Part-2-of-3-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot_2019-09-04-Japan-the-Bureaucratic-War-Machine-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1931-Part-2-of-3-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot_2019-09-04-Japan-the-Bureaucratic-War-Machine-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1931-Part-2-of-3.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TimeGhost History Published on 3 Sep 2019 In Japan there has been a gradual increase of militarism since the Great War and in 1931 the country goes to war again when they invade Chinese Manchuria based on a false flag terrorist strike at the Mukden railway junction.
