Collaboration, Nationalism and Imperial Strategy: Japanese-trained Armies in Northeast Asia 1932-1949

本项目分析了1932年至1945年间日本在满洲和蒙古发展的三支地方军队的政治和军事意义。该项目研究了档案材料和报纸，并进行了新的采访，以解释日本创建这些军队的原因，当地人参加这些军队的原因，以及这种参与对日本帝国主义计划和当地民族主义愿望的影响。该项目将这一分析置于日本帝国主义的更广泛背景下，并考察了军队在该地区的持续政治作用。

This project analyses the political and military significance of three local armies developed by the Japanese in Manchuria and Mongolia between 1932 and 1945. The project examines archival material and newspapers, as well as conducting fresh interviews, to explain the reasons for Japan's creation of these armies, the reasons why local people took part in them, and the consequences of this participation for Japanese imperialist plans and local nationalist aspirations. The project sets this analysis in the broader context of Japanese imperialism and examines the continuing political role of the armies in the region.
