Between Collective Security and \u201cOld Diplomacy\u201d: Japanese-French Relations during the Manchurian Crisis, 1931\u20131933<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaker:<\/strong> Seung-young Kim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After establishing Manchukuo in March 1932, Japan made strenuous efforts to persuade France to conclude an alliance by revitalizing the French-Japanese entente of 1907. In particular, Japan wished to overcome its diplomatic isolation before the Lytton Report was discussed in the League of Nations during autumn 1932. To this effect, Japanese diplomats and military attaches suggested favorable investment conditions for the French companies in Manchukuo. However, France declined these offers to prioritize collective security, despite substantial sympathy toward Japan in the French Foreign Ministry over concerns to protect French imperial interests in China and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on records from both sides, this talk will show the aims, details, and process of Japanese diplomatic initiatives along with the French response. After briefly reviewing the initial division within the French Foreign Ministry over its response to the Mukden Incident, it will examine Japanese diplomatic maneuvers toward France from the spring of 1932, as well as the reasons why they were declined by the French cabinet led respectively by Andr\u00e9 Tardieu and \u00c9douard Herriot.  The talk will also explore why the French government internally defined Japan\u2019s military actions and assertive diplomacy as posing a \u201cproblem of aggression.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
