- Franco´s Spain and the Japanese empire (1937-45) Florentino Rodao Historia Relations between Spain and Japan were especially important between 1937and 1945, on account of the needs of propaganda in this age of war: the Spanish CivilWar, the Sino-Japanese War, World War II and the Pacific War all took place duringthis period. The anti-communist alliance resulted in interesting political configurationsduring the early years. Later, Spain became the neutral country that renderedthe greatest assistance to the Japanese war effort against the United States, byassuming the representation of Japanese subjects in the majority of American nations,and by allowing the formation of a network of espionage that focused upon the UnitedStates, amongst other aspects of this collaboration, once the war in the Pacific brokeout. When the conflict ended, in March 1945, the government of General FranciscoFranco pondered about declaring war on Japan, without actually doing so due tothe Allied rejection. The last part of this study is dedicated to analysing the brusquechange in Spain and Japan’s image of each other, utilising concepts about perceptionsin International Relations as well as theories about Orientalism. 2005 artículo científico 0874-8438 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=36101107 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=361 Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies application/pdf Universidade Nova de Lisboa Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies (Portugal) Vol.10-11
