Dissent in the Armed Forces of the Empire of Japan refers to dissent within the Armed Forces of the Empire of Japan from the founding of the Empire of Japan in 1868 to the defeat of the Empire of Japan in World War II in 1945. Dissent within the Armed Force of the Empire of Japan has varied from far-right, to anti-militarist dissent. ==History== Following the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the Japanese Communist Party launched an anti-war campaign. They attempted to infiltrate the military. In September, 1931, the JCP distributed the organ Friend of the Soldiers (Heishi no Tomo) or The Soldier's Friend.The High Mast (Takai Masto) was planned for sailors. Friends of the Soldiers was printed only twice before the police crushed the party in a series of arrests.〔Beckmann, George M., and Genji Okubo. The Japanese Communist Party 1922-1945. Stanford, Calif: Stanford University Press, 1969.〕 In 26 February 1936, a group of young radical Japanese Army officers led a Coup de etat in Japan. They killed Home Minister Saito Makoto, Finance Minister Takahashi Korekiyo, and Army Inspector General of Military Training Watanabe Jotaro. The coup would be quelled in 29 February 1936. Konoe Fumimaro was concerned that military officers might lead a communist insurrection because of there lower-middle-class backgrounds. In November 1929, a group of communists within the Army organized a Japanese branch of the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (Hantei Domei Nihon Shibu) and attempted to overthrow the military. Between 1931 and 1942, ninety-nine Japanese soldiers escaped and joined either the Soviet Army or the CCP Army. In the same period, the secret police subverted at least sixteen communist plots led by officers in the Army. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, hundreds of Japanese soldiers defected to the Chinese resistance to Japan. The Japanese defectors would become propagandists against the Japanese militarists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dissent in the Armed Forces of the Empire of Japan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
