Recognition of Montesquieu who advocated separation of powers
"The people in question are completely black from head to toe. And they have such flat noses that it's almost impossible to sympathize with them. They are extremely intelligent beings. I cannot agree with the idea that God could have placed a soul, a good soul, in such a pitch-black body."
"Proof that the Negro has no common sense is shown in the fact that he prizes glass necklaces more than gold, which is of such great importance among civilized nations. It is impossible to assume that they are human beings, because the more we assume that they are human, the more people will begin to think that we ourselves are not Christians. Because I’m deaf.”
The following is a joint declaration made at the Greater East Asia Conference held by Japan to unite the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
Greater East Asia Joint Declaration
In the first place, the basis of establishing world peace is for each country in the world to find its own place, rely on and help each other, and share the joy of prospering together.
However, for the sake of their own prosperity, the United States and Britain oppress other countries and peoples, and in particular they relentlessly invade and exploit Greater East Asia, exposing their ambition to enslave Greater East Asia. , and finally tried to fundamentally overturn the stability of Greater East Asia. This is the cause of the Greater East Asia War.
The countries of Greater East Asia will cooperate with each other to fight through the Greater East Asia War, liberate the countries of Greater East Asia from the shackles of the United States and Britain, ensure their self-existence, and support the Greater East Asia based on the following platform. We hope that this will contribute to the establishment of world peace.
The countries of Greater East Asia will work together to ensure stability in Greater East Asia and build an order of coexistence and mutual prosperity based on morality.
The countries of Greater East Asia respect each other's independence and independence, and cooperate with each other to establish friendship in Greater East Asia.
The countries of Greater East Asia will mutually respect their traditions, develop the creativity of each ethnic group, and enhance the culture of Greater East Asia.
The countries of Greater East Asia will work together closely on a mutually beneficial basis to develop their economies and increase the prosperity of Greater East Asia.
The countries of Greater East Asia will deepen exchanges with all countries, eliminate racial discrimination, widely exchange cultures, and willingly release their resources, thereby contributing to the development of the world.

What much of the world misunderstands
If there are people who think that democracy has eliminated racial discrimination and that we should follow the example of white countries, that is a completely wrong historical understanding. Fierce resistance by people of color, mainly in Japan, brought an end to colonialism, and the international community then moved toward the elimination of racial discrimination. This is the truth.
First Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in 1965
In 1960, the United Nations adopted a declaration granting independence to the colonies, and the United Nations adopted the Act on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination for the first time in 1965 as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. Japan was the first country in human history to submit a bill to the international community to eliminate racial discrimination, and that was in 1919.

Japan is supported and trusted in Asia, which experienced the Age of Discovery, the transformation of the world, and the Japanese colony.
The history of the world has changed drastically in the Age of Discovery. Asia was colonized one after another, exploited and treated like slaves. This is a relative view, compared to Europeans. Although it was colonized, it developed economically and life improved not a little. This is a real feeling of Asian countries. The reason why Japan is supported by Asian countries is that Japan did not enslave Asians and that it did everything necessary to build a modern nation with the power of its own people. I was educated about it. As a result, after the end of the war, Asian nations resisted the re-invasion of the West and became independent nations one after another. Asian countries colonized by Europe do not request an apology from Europe, nor do they make a request to Japan. This is the difference between whether or not you feel that you are moving forward, and whether or not you have a sense of ownership.
The truth of the people's land - the people's land, the next day, the travel, the world, the political world, the separation of people, the separation of people, and the future.
The first international rejection of colonialism in the international community was the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples on December 14, 1960. ”. The United Nations, which criticized the Greater East Asia War, tolerated colonial policy for 15 years after the end of the war. Moreover, this is only a declaration; in fact, he designated 1990-2000 as the decade for the abolition of colonialism.
Although some people say that the abolition of colonialism is based on humanitarian considerations, in reality, a major factor is that it has become economically irrational.
As the world's capital markets continue to improve, it is better to make profits by acquiring only companies with high growth potential than to control an entire country. There is little risk as it is easy to withdraw if growth stops. If a country does not grow even after investing capital, it will not increase profits even if it becomes a colony.
In 1919, Japan submitted the ``Bill for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination'' to the League of Nations. This was the first proposal in the international community calling for the elimination of racial discrimination itself. Forty-one years later, the international community passed a resolution to abolish colonial policy in the future.
This is an international framework for decolonization, not racial discrimination. In fact, the Jim Crow laws that legalized racial discrimination in the United States were abolished in 1964. Apartheid was abolished in South Africa in 1994.

Educational issues in Nepal and Japan's support activities - School education dissemination activities carried out during the annexation of Japan and Korea.
Japan supporting Nepal
Girls still have a low status
Japan continued to build schools in Asia
The Korean Peninsula had an overwhelmingly low literacy rate
Society will not change with institutions alone
Nepal shares a border with China and is a country that has been left behind in the development of Asia. Lumbini in Nepal is also the birthplace of Buddha, and today there are many Hindus. Is there a reason for the Chinese Communist Party's exclusion of Buddhism and Hinduism as part of its economic isolation? Japan has provided a lot of assistance to Nepal. Nepal ranks third in terms of international students studying in Japan.
It is still difficult for girls to attend school in rural areas of Nepal. Once they get married, they leave the house, and until then they are essential workers, and there is no economic reason for families to send their daughters to school. A man from Nepal who studied abroad at a Japanese university establishes a school in a village and goes to inspect it with Japanese people, but he runs into the wall of family circumstances in Nepal, and a girl who wants to attend school is unable to understand her father's understanding. I can't attend school because I can't get it. She goes there to persuade her father, a Nepali and a Japanese, to allow her to attend school.
During the Japanese colonial period, Japan established many schools in Asia. The same goes for the Korean Peninsula. There was a cultural and year-round barrier that is currently occurring in Nepal, and the Japanese had to repeat the task of persuading each child's parents about education forever. This includes not only the Korean Peninsula, but also all countries under Japanese rule, such as Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The first step is to improve the literacy rate. Historically, in Japan, many private schools called terakoya were established in towns because it would be inconvenient if you could not read, and it is said that the literacy rate was already at 80% in the Edo period.
Before the annexation of Japan and South Korea, the literacy rate on the Korean Peninsula was overwhelmingly low. It is said that 80% of the commoners other than the yangban were illiterate. When it comes to slaves, it is devastating. If you can't read, you can't study. Japan introduced a school education system on the Korean Peninsula, abolished the class system, and created an environment where all children could attend school. The teachers themselves visited the homes of parents who, for various reasons, were unable to send their children to school.
Just because we say we're going to abolish the class system starting tomorrow doesn't mean it will disappear the next day. It is said that slaves existed on the Korean Peninsula even in the 1930s, and there were still many children who could not attend school. It is important that many Japanese people not only introduced the system but also persuaded the people to change the common beliefs that had lasted for hundreds of years in order for the system to actually operate. is.
It is said that Korea was confiscated and enslaved by Japan, but where are the colonies that abolished the class system and introduced school education?
The Great East Asian War, the War of Liberation.The result of modernization under Japanese rule is the independence of Asian countries. Columbus: Discovering the Americas in 1492
Vasco da Gama: Reach Cape of Good Hope in 1488
1600 East India Company Established
Suez Canal 1859 (start of construction) Completed 1869.
Siberian Railway 1850 (start of construction) 1902 (completed except for part 1) Completed 1904
The movement of white people to colonize Asia began in earnest in 1600.I took a route to Asia around the southernmost Cape of Good Hope in Africa.This is to bring Asian spices and products to Europe for business.Until then, trade with Asia had to be mediated by the Islamic world, and was looking for a direct way to Asia.Colonization is progressing one after another in southwestern Asia, and China is also leased one after another.The opening of the Suez Canal made it even more accessible, contributing greatly to the colonization of Asia.
Suez Canal is a short-cut canal that does not have to detour the southern tip of Africa.The Siberian Railway was built to colonize Far East Asia.
Russia plans to colonize Asia by land because it has the farthest route to Asia and freezes its ports in winter.Vladivostok, the final destination of the Siberian Railway, is just a stone's throw away from the Korean Peninsula.This move was a prerequisite for the Russo-Japanese War.The Siberian railway was completed in 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War.There Baltic Fleet is scheduled to enter the port .
From Japan's point of view, Asian countries at that time could not resist and became slaves to the West.This is not the case if countries maintain their independence.Why do white people come to Japan, the farthest island country from the West?If the country on the way is functioning properly, that's not the case.In other words, the independence of Asian countries will protect Asian countries from the West, and as a result, Japan will be protected.
At that time, there was no concept of cooperation between countries in Asia.On the contrary, I never imagined fighting a big white man.form an Asian allianceThis is the idea of the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Circle.Japan chose to fight.We will defeat white forces one after another and spread modern civilization to Asian countries.
The Great East Asian War was to liberate Asian countries from white colonial rule and give them national strength.
In Asian countries governed by Japan, government management and administrative roles, tax thinking, armaments, and education systems were introduced as frameworks for creating countries.White colonial rule does not do such a thing.What happens if slaves learn how to use weapons when they begin to acquire knowledge and know how to run a country?You can't do this under colonial rule.Colonial management can only be done by giving the people of the country what they can live in and working from morning till night.
There are opinions that Japan intended to rule forever, but it would not be reasonable to explain the development of each country under Japanese rule.If you look at the white colonial rule of Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries that have been under white rule for four centuries, you can see clearly.
Taiwan, the earliest country to enter Japanese rule, has a rule of 50 years, but there are no other litigation issues such as the Japanese Military Sexual Slavery issue or any friction at present.It would be good to investigate Japan's rule of Taiwan and the friendly relationship between Japan and Taiwan after the war.
You can't see anything in world war unless you look at it from the perspective of world history.I think we have to go back at least to A.C 1600.The history of Japan and South Korea alone is just walking around in one place.
