PERISTIWA NI NI-ROKU TAHUN 1936 DAN HUBUNGANNYA TERHADAP MILITERISME JEPANG

Abstract

^{Showa Restoration movement emerged in Japan in the 1930s inspired by the Meiji Restoration of 1889 with the}

^{vision of attempting to return Emperor Hirohito to absolute power and radically change the social, economic, and}

^{political system of the Japanese Empire. Showa Restoration Movement emerged as a result of social inequality and}

^{clashes between political ideologies. Factionalism emerged as a result of the pros and cons of the movement which}

^{resulted in the birth of the young officer movement (Seinen Shoko Undo). The Young Officers Movement attempted several}

^{coup and assassinations of Japanese political and military figures throughout the 1930s. The largest and last}

^{assassination attempt and coup of young officers was the Ni Ni-Roku Jiken (26 February Incident). Based on several}

^{newspapers from the Hoji Shinbun digital archive, the rebellion involved at least 1,400 soldiers, occupied several key}

^{government buildings in Tokyo, and killed a number of high-ranking officials. After the coup, the army further}

^{strengthened its influence in Japanese politics. These influences include the selection of cabinet ministers, expansion}

^{doctrine, and military budget.}
