co-prosperity sphere

co-prosperity sphere

Japanese policy that provided the main strategy for government of East and Southeast Asia during the 1930s. The policy was developed to satisfy Japan's need for raw materials (such as oil, tin, and rubber) and new markets. Japan also tried to appeal to nationalist resentment against the colonial powers, to make the Pacific nations more amenable towards Japan. In practice the Japanese allowed the various Pacific nations little more freedom than they had enjoyed as colonies.

The most unattractive versions of 1930's regionalism came from Germany and Japan, and represented nothing less than a practical extension of their power over vulnerable neighbors, which were forced into trade and financial dependence on the basis of Germany's Grosswirtschaftsraum or its Japanese equivalent, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
By 1947 America was even working to have Japan recreate its Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity sphere to thwart communism's advance.
But once it became clear that this move had been agreed with President George Bush, as part of our membership of the Greater American Co-Prosperity Sphere, there was no going back.
