Summary

“Government by Assassination” was a term used to describe the tumultuous political situation in Japan in the early 20th century. The rise of fanatic nationalism led to a huge of influx of political murders in Pre-WWII Japan. Perhaps the strangest thing about this period was that Japanese society would often venerate the patriotic intent of these assassins. On todays’ episode we discuss the origins of hardcore nationalism in Japan, and what factors led to them showing such tolerance towards radical behavior.
