마쓰오카 요스케(松岡洋右) 외무대신의 전시(戰時) 외교 전략 - 대미 정책을 중심으로 - = Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka's Wartime Diplomacy Strategy : Focusing on U.S. Policy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The foreign policy of Yosuke Matsuoka, who was in office as Foreign Minister of the Second Konoe Cabinet from July 1940 to July 1941, has been attracting attention. Because during his tenure, the Japan-Germany-Italy Tripartite Pact and the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty were signed, and Japan-US negotiations with the United States were promoted.
Matsuoka's general evaluation of foreign policy is based on the fact that the four countries of Japan, the Soviet Union, Germany and Italy formed a partnership through the conclusion of the Tripartite Pact and the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty amid the intensification of World War II. Many historians emphasized that he had the so-called Shikoku Kyosho (4 powers partnership) concept of engaging in negotiations with the United States. However, such a view is mainly based on the testimony left by Matsuoka himself and his aides after the war, and in fact, whether Matsuoka had the idea of Shikoku Kyosho (4 powers partnership) at the time of his tenure and implemented the policy toward the United States accordingly. Need to consider the specific policy decisions he made. Matsuoka is fully aware of the potential for catastrophic German-Soviet relations, and given that his policy toward the United States did not necessarily focus on dialogue with the United States, there is an increasing need to reconsider what Matsuoka's vision for Shikoku Kyosho was.
Therefore, in this paper, I examine what kind of wartime foreign policy Matsuoka had under the circumstances where Japan was engaged in the Sino-Japanese War and World War II was underway in Europe, considering what it has to do with his foreign policy towards the United States. For this reason, I will first consider the diplomatic strategy that Matsuoka maintained in the process of promoting the Tripartite Pact and the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty. Matsuoka has an attitude of restraining the United States' support for Britain through the Tripartite Pact, creating an environment favorable to Germany through this, and taking advantage of Germany's victory after the war to expand Japan's dominance in East Asia. At the same time, he sought to restore the deteriorated relationship with the Soviet Union and thereby eliminate Japan's strategic dangers.
Next, I will examine Matsuoka's policy toward the United States. He has shown his willingness to use the Tripartite Pact to minimize US support for Britain and participation in World War II. At the same time, he had an attitude of demanding American concessions to solve the Sino-Japanese War problem. His policy was understood by US government officials as a tough attitude, and as a result, it acted to worsen US-Japan relations.
Finally, I will focus on the relationship between Matsuoka and the Japanese military, especially the Army. At that time, the Japanese Army was hoping for an armed advance into Southeast Asia. However, Matsuoka maintained an attitude against the use of force against the South, consistently that such actions could stimulate the United States. Such a policy is an example of Matsuoka's efforts to prevent the situation from worsening relations with the United States more than necessary and expanding into a head-on collision between Japan and the United States.
Summarizing the above, we can understand Matsuoka's policy toward the United States as follows. With Japan facing the serious challenge of solving the Sino-Japanese War problem, and the world-historical event of World War II, Matsuoka supported Germany's victory. He had a wartime diplomatic strategy to establish Japan's dominance in East Asia through Germany's victory. Matsuoka prefered to take time until the end of the war in Europe and guide the outcome of the war to develop in Japan's favor, to a direct military actiontoward southward in the situation of world war. Therefore, it can be understood in connection with his wartime diplomatic strategy that Matsuoka consistently opposed the Army's rapid military action toward Southeast Asia for it has possibility of a collision with the United States. However, his attitude to restrain US actions to help Germany win the war resulted in worsening US-Japan relations and failure to prevent their aid to the United Kingdom.
