Re: Fundamentally arrogant and racist
It is extremely odd because around the turn of the century the UK had supplied a number of naval craft to the Japanese, trained some of their officers, had an observer at Tsushima, and the Times had strongly approved of the Japanese attacking Russia without warning. I do wonder what happened between about 1920 and 1940 to give the Establishment such a false notion of Japan. Was it the growing influence of Americans? Their racism is well attested, including by American historians.
