Routledge - Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan History Book

Explore the complex relationship between two of the most significant powers of the twentieth century. This Routledge publication examines the German-Japanese alliance from 1933 to 1945, analyzing why these two nations remained linked despite the inherent instability of sovereign state alliances. Rather than a simple marriage of convenience, this work presents the partnership as a long and uneasy engagement. The text explains how both Germany and Japan maintained their connection to preserve national prestige and because the policies of each state served their specific interests at the time. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how both powers worked to challenge the existing international order during the World War II era. This book provides a detailed look at the diplomatic motivations that kept this hollow alliance functioning throughout a period of global conflict. It is an essential addition for those studying military history and the political dynamics of the Second World War.
