Rumors of War: Immigration Disputes and the Social Construction of American-Japanese Relations, 1905–1913
2009
Overview
The crisis in US-Japanese relations in the early twentieth century has been researched and explained in various ways. This article argues that in the era of globalization in the early twentieth century, global events quickly reached the other side of the earth and influenced local people's way of thinking, which in turn swayed local politics and, by extension, influenced national and international politics. This was possible due to the then recent development of mass circulation newspapers and telegraphic communications. Popular sentiments were readily felt across borders, regardless of the intentions of respective governments. In short, this article maintains that during the early twentieth century the direction of foreign and domestic policies was subject to internal social unrest, popular emotions, and contingent domestic politics.
