Showa Statism

Showa Statism also called Showa Nationalism and shortened Showaism was a totalitarian, culturally far-right, economically right-leaning (specifically corporatism) and expansionist ideology which was practiced and developed in Japan during the first half of the reign of Emperor Showa (who was called Hirohito at the time). Showa Statism was a political syncretism of extreme ideologies in Japan. It developed over time from the Meiji Restoration, after they overthrew the  shogunate.

Origins

[[File:Strato.png]] Feburary 26th Incident (26-28 Feburary 1936)
The February 26th Incident (二・二六事件) was an attempted coup d'état in the Empire of Japan. It was organized by young officers that support the Kodo-ha, with the goal of bringing about the "Showa Restoration," purging their political opponents (particularly the Tosei-ha) and restoring direct rule under Emperor Showa (Hirohito). Although they managed to assassinate several leading officials and occupy the government center of Tokyo, they had failed to assassinate Prime Minister Keisuke Okada, secure control of the  Imperial Palace, or get support from  the Emperor. This resulted in the uprising being suppressed, the loss of Koda-ha factional influence, and the  increase of military influence over the government.

[[File:PanAsian.png]] Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere
The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is a concept used to justify the Empire of Japan's  imperialism. It promoted the cultural and economic unity of East Asians, Southeast Asians, South Asians, and Oceanians. It saw for its Pan-Asian ideals of freedom and independence from the control of western powers. In practice, it was often used by militarists and  nationalists, who saw an effective way to strengthen  Japan and advance its superiority within Asia.

[[File:Ilminism.png]] Korea [[File:Cball-North_Korea.png]]
From 1910 to 1945, Korea was ruled as a part of the Empire of Japan. Upon its annexation, Japan declared that Korea would be officially named Chōsen.

[[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] Taiwan
The island of Taiwan was once a part of the  Qing Dynasty, however, was ceded to the  Empire of Japan in 1895 after the  Japanese victory in the First Sino-Japanese war. Taiwan was Japan's first colony and Japanese intentions were to turn Taiwan into a model colony with much effort made to improve Taiwan's economy, public works, industry, cultural Japanization, and to support the essentials of Japanese militarism in the Asia-Pacific.

[[File:Cball-Manchukuo.png]] Manchukuo
Manchukuo officially known as the State of Manchuria, also known as the  Empire of (Great) Manchuria was a puppet state of the  Empire of Japan from 1932 to 1945. It was founded as a republic in 1932 after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria (On September 18th, 1931, they invaded Manchuria prior to the  Mukden Incident. The war ended in 1932 and the Japanese established a puppet state of Manchukuo), and in 1934 it became a constitutional monarchy under the control of  Japan. Puyi was the Emperor of Manchukuo and was formerly the last Emperor of  China and the Qing Dynasty. Their occupation lasted until the success of the Soviet Union and   Mongolia with the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation in August 1945.

[[File:NeoShowa.png]] Nippon Kaigi
The Nippon Kaigi (日本会議, "Japan Conference") is Japan’s largest far-right ultra-conservative ultranationalist and reactionary non-governmental organization and lobby founded in 1997. The group is influential in the legislative and executive branches of the Japanese government through its affiliates. Former Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, an LDP politician, serves as a special advisor to the group's parliamentary league. The group's membership includes grassroots far-right activists as well as national and local politicians, with most of its active members being retired men over 60 as the organization has faced difficulty attracting young people. The group vigorously defends Japan's claim in its territorial dispute over the Senkaku Islands with China, and denies that Japan forced the "comfort women" during World War II. Nippon Kaigi is opposed to feminism, LGBT rights, and the 1999 Gender Equality Law.

[[File:NettoUyoku.png]] Netto-uyoku
The Netto-uyokus (ネット右翼, Japanese Internet rightists, sometimes shortened to Netouyo or ネトウヨ) are netizens who embrace  ultranationalist far-right views on Japanese social media. The netto-uyoku are individuals with xenophobic and racist views and they generally convey support for historically revisionist views that portray the former Empire of Japan in a positive way. They are compared with the western  Alt-Right due to their similarities

Beliefs
Due to the fact that Showa Japan was militarily allied with Nazi Germany and  Fascist Italy and shared ideological similarities, Showa Statism is usually taken to be a type of  Fascism, although this is disputed by some. Showa Statism is a syncretism of extremist ideologies. Some believed to unify the Asian race under the sacred rule of the emperor, some believed it was their destiny to liberate Asia from Western powers. Showa Statism is anti-western, anti-liberal, anti-communist, and anti-capitalist.
