It is to stop thinking that prewar Japan was “wrong”
On December 8, 1941 (Japan time), 350 attackers from the Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on the United States Pacific Fleet anchored in Pearl Bay on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. It’s a surprise attack from Pearl Bay.

Pearl Bay Attack = December 7, 1941
Many Japanese are taught that the Pacific War that resulted from the surprise attack on Pearl Bay or the prewar Japanese political diplomacy that led to it was morally “wrong.” However, simply arguing emotionally that something was wrong is nothing more than stopping thinking. Instead, we must objectively, neutrally, and rationally consider why and how the event happened.
Therefore, in this paper we will consider it based on “evolutionary political science”. The only complete text on evolutionary politics in Japan is my book, Evolutionary Political Science and International Political Theory, A New Analytical Approach to the Human Heart and War (Fuyo Shobo Publishing, 2020), but I will use it in this article. It’s the “anger retribution model” built into it.
Knowing that this article is controversial, I would like to clarify an “inconvenient truth” about the Pearl Bay surprise attack. It’s because the surprise Pearl Bay attack is not a factor peculiar to Japan, like the pathology of militarism and the immaturity of prewar society, but the universal human nature of anger, at this time, caused by Hull Note. -It was caused by.
It is just one example of an offensive action caused by the feeling of “anger”
It’s easy to understand that angry attacking behavior is a universal human nature just by looking back at the existence of the following important historical facts.
Ryuta Ito, “Evolutionary Political Science and International Political Theory, A New Analytical Approach to the Human Heart and War” (Fuyo Shobo Publishing)
For example, historian Eri Hotta argues that the Hull Note and the surprise attack on Pearl Bay can be understood using mirror copy logic. In other words, the Hull Note is “the” first bullet “that Japan, which almost decided to wage war, unknowingly fired at the United States,” and with this, “the power of ABCD is perpetrating Japan.” The credibility of the subjective history of suffering has increased immediately. “
To give another example, Adolf Hitler would fight without the resentment of the German people against the Versailles regime, which was built after World War I overwhelmingly against Germany, responsible for the war. It would not have been possible to seize internal power from Germany in the intervening period.
Alternatively, George W. Bush could not have garnered support for the Afghanistan-Iraq war without the resentment aroused by the simultaneous terrorist incident of September 11, and in January 2005, the Prophet Muhammad On Cartoons, Islamic Radicals attacked the headquarters of the French cartoon weekly “Charlie Evd” and killed 12 people, which is also a typical example of outraged offensive behavior.
What we can see from the above is that the Pearl Bay surprise attack is not a peculiar event, but simply an example of offensive behavior caused by the universal feeling of anger that humans have.
