PRIME MINISTER INUKAI WAS KILLED BY YOUNG MLITARY OFFICERS IN MAY OF 1930 BECAUSE IN WENT ALONG WITH THE "LONDON TREATY" WHICH ALLOWED THE JAPANESE A SMALLER "TONNAGE" OF CRUISERS THAN THE UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND. IT WAS ONE OF ABOUT EIGHT SUCH KILLINS OF MODERATES IN THE DECADE BEFORE THE WAR. THESE OFFICERS MAY HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF THE "BLACK DRAGOONS" WHO WERE A SECRET GROUP OF RELIGOUS AND NATIONALIST FANATICS. THEIR WERE MANY PEOPLE IN THE GOVERNMENT, AND ALSO COMMON PEOPLE WHO DID NOT WANT CONFRONTATION WITH THE WEST....
My eyes arent as young as yours are. its easyer to see, and I tend to think everybody else was the same way.(it's not true of course) I hadent thought of it untill tonight. Someone else pointed it out to (Tall case I mean)But no problem, to use small case in the futher.....Thanks Otto, but no problem at all.
Over a dozen Japanese Prime Ministers were murdered by military officers who were let off with minimal sentences between 1918 and 1941. Prince Konoye survived by agreeing with the military, until he was replaced by Tojo. Many Japanese politicians were seen as too pro-western and were killed by radical nationalist Japanese officers for "betraying" their country. Jumbo
