History: Was World War II Japan A Fascist State? With Dr Sherzod Muminov From University of East Anglia
April 30 @ 15:35 - 16:20
In this History session, Dr Sherzod Muminov, a leading academic from the School of History at University of East Anglia, will run an interactive talk for students on Was World War II Japan a Fascist State?
Japan allied with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy to fight against the Allied Powers in World War II. While few people doubt that wartime Japan was a totalitarian state, the question of whether it was fascist is cause for debate.
In this talk, Sherzod Muminov, who teaches modern Japanese history at the UEA, will question whether World War II Japan was a fascist state based on an overview of the Japanese wartime political, military, and economic history.
The session will develop thinking, skills and approaches to support students in their History studies and future aspirations.
