Maybe the professor should ask the Chinese about what they think of Japan's attempt to "roll back Euro-American colonialism"? I find it hilarious me being an amateur know more about why Japan attacked European colonial possessions than this professor does.

By imposing Japanese Colonialism

The Chinese would not find this amusing. There is still deep hate and mistrust in China for the Japanese over this.

Completely ignoring Japanese colonialism.

They had taken Korea and Manchuria and large sections of China before they ever attacked western countries.

Universities are one of the worst features of our collapsing civilization. This is where all these crazy and destructive social and behavioral theories come from.

The Imperial Japanese were simply looters, like the Nazis. It’s really no more complex than that.

Of course they were imposing their own colonialism. Winner takes the spoils of war.

I’ll bet the fool thinks that Roosevelt knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor too. Another crazy theory from an academic scribbler.

Victor Davis Hanson’s father was on a bomber crew (as I recall) in the Pacific during WWII.

In his young hippie days of the 1970s, VDH asked his father how he could justify dropping an atom bomb on Japan

his father replied - “the Japanese were killing 15,000 Chinese, Koreans, Philippinos, EVERY DAY. How do you propose we get them to stop?”

One could interpret it that way. Of course the Japanese sought to replace that Euro-American colonialism with a tyranny right out of the Dark Ages.

The Japanese were making incursions over much of southeast Asia for many years before Dec. 7, 1941. When I first arrived in Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia, locals would show me the cliff where the Japanese would march their victims, all locals, up to the cliff and just throw them over to the rocks below. This was in 1995, fifty years after the war ended.

I was also shown the location on Gunung Efar where Gen. MacArthur established his “mansion”, which was by no means a mansion. From there, MacArthur could see not just the airport on Lake Sentani, but the bay at Depapre on one side and all the way through to Jayapura, then called Hollandia, on the other side. MacArthur was seen as a savior from the hated Japanese.

Also, our next-door neighbor, who lived through the war, when mentioning the Japanese, stopped, looked about his house, and then lowered his voice before telling us about the Japanese takeover.

It wasn’t white imperialism in the Pacific. It was Japanese attempts at enslaving those they considered as sub-human.

Or the Filipinos, or the Koreans, or the Thais or the Burmese....

Nope - it was about invading Asian countries to form the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere; taking land and recourses for themselves.

Just another set of blinders to keep from seeing anything else.

To a Marxist, the blinder was “Class Struggle” and everything was filtered by it.

To a racist, and this is a racist course, everything is filtered by that presumption of racism.

“Higher Education” / Academia is becoming exposed as the fraud that it is. University of, by and for CLOSED MINDS!

UNC course says WWII was 'Japan's attempt to roll back Euro-American colonialism'>>>>>>>>>>>>>

BULLSHIVIT!

It was Japanese Imperialism , the colonized Mongolia , China, The Phillipines, etc in what the Imperial Government of Japan called "The Greater Asia Co-prosperity Sphere."

The Japanese were justifying their colonial aspirations by saying they were bringing Asia into the modern era of an industrial society.

The Japanese advntures were colonial in themselves, and it was America and its allies that liberated the downtrodden in Asia from Japanese control, and later liberated some of Asia from Chinese communist colonialism.

Dood has it exactly BACKWARDS

Who knows what some nut professor is teaching, but, as you likely know, the basic statement has partial truth to it. The Phillipines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indochina, Chinese “treaty” areas, etc., were not natural zones for the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia. Did Japan want to push the Western imperialists out of Asia? Sure. Was Japan’s purpose to bring happiness and good things to all Asians? No. They wanted Westerners out of the way so Japan could be the sole overlord, exploiting Asia’s human and physical resources to the max, with impunity and a brutality that appalled even the Nazis. I bet the professor omits that part. The true role western imperialism played in this was in “opening” Japan to the power potential inherent in Western industrialism and science, which the Japanese were darned good at emulating.

Funny how they signed an alliance with the British in 1902 in order to roll back European colonialism.

This theory would only make sense if Japan wasn’t joined at the hip with Hitler’s European colonialism.

So why did the Japanese join the Axis Powers, with the Aryan races(Germany and Italy) of Europe?

I’ve read that Hitler was LIVID when Japan attacked the US. This meant he and Italy now had to declare war on the US.

He wanted to keep the US out of the war and had hoped Japan would attack Russia in the far east.
