'''Showa Statism''' (also called '''Showa Nationalism'''), shortened '''Showaism''', is a totalitarian, [[File:EthnoUltranat.png]] ethno-ultranationalist, culturally far-right, economically 3rd positionist (specifically favoring corporatism) and expansionist ideology, which was practiced and developed in [[File:Cball-Empire_of_Japan.png]] Japan during the first half of the reign of [[File:ShowaHirohito.png]] Emperor Showa (at the time called ''Hirohito''). Showa Statism was a political syncretism of extreme ideologies in Japan, which developed over time after the [[File:Meiji.png]] Meiji Restoration, when Japan overthrew the previous [[File:Cball-Tokugawa.png]] Tokugawa Shogunate.

Showa Statism's origins can be traced back to the Meiji Restoration. After the victory over China in the First Sino-Japanese War and over Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, Japan joined the Western powers. They needed a [[File:Strato.png]] strong military to secure Japan's new overseas empire which was reinforced by a feeling that only through a strong military would Japan earn the respect of Western nations. The period where it was the most prominent was during the dawn of the [[File:Showa.png]] Showa Period and throughout the Second World War. The first 20 years of Emperor Showa's reign it was characterized by extreme nationalism and a series of expansionist wars. It was a mixture of ideas such as [[File:Ultranat.png]] Japanese nationalism, [[File:Strato.png]] militarism, [[File:Fash.png]] fascism (while disputed by some), and [[File:Corptism.png]] corporatism, that was initiated by several political philosophers and thinkers in Japan. Those philosophers include [[File:Kita.png]] Ikka Kita, [[File:PanAsian.png]] Shumei Okawa, and [[File:Monarcho-Fascism.png]] Sadao Araki. Many had different (sometimes outright contrasting) views, which is why Showa Statism could be described as ideologically syncretic.

A group of [[File:JapRighteousArmy.png]] young IJA officers who supported the radical Kodoha. The young officers believed that the problems facing the nation were the result of Japan drifting from the kokutai (国体) (an amorphous term often translated as "national polity", it roughly signifies the relationship between the Emperor and the state). To them, the "privileged classes," exploited the people,(Almost all of the young officers' subordinates were from poor peasant families or working-class) leading to widespread poverty in rural areas, and deceiving the Emperor, taking his power and weakening Japan. The solution, they believed, was a [[File:Showa-kanmuri.png]] "Shōwa Restoration" modeled on the [[File:Meiji.png]] Meiji Restoration of 70 years earlier. These beliefs were strongly influenced by contemporary nationalist thought, especially the political philosophy of [[File:Kita.png]] [[National Bolshevism|Ikki Kita]] On February 26th, 1936, they would attempt a military coup with the goal of purging the government and military leadership of their factional rivals and ideological opponents.

The Empire of Vietnam is a Japanese puppet state. Japan would invade Vietnam, which was originally a colony of [[File:Cball-France.png]] France and was called French Indochina. The Imperial Japanese Army invade Vietnam in September 1940 which would result in the Japanese occupation of French Indochina. The Japanese tendered an official apology for the incident at Lạng Sơn on 5 October 1940. The Japanese-occupied towns were returned to French control and all French prisoners were released. They would occupy French Indochina until 1945. When the Allies invaded France in 1944, Japan suspected that the French authorities in Indochina might assist Allied operations in the region. Therefore, Japan deposed the French authorities in the spring of 1945, imprisoning the French administrators and taking direct control of Indochina until the end of the war. At that point, Vietnamese nationalists under the Viet Minh banner took control in the August Revolution and issued a Proclamation of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The Japanese occupation of Indochina helped strengthen the Viet Minh and contributed to the outbreak of the First Indochina War in 1946 against French rule.

The Second Sino-Japanese War is an [[File:Antifash2.png]] anti-fascist and [[File:Anti-Colonial.png]] anti-colonialist nationalist struggle of [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] the Republic of China against the the [[File:Showa.png]] Empire of Japan. The war made up the Chinese theater of the wider [[File:Cball-US.png]] Pacific Theater of the Second World War. The start of the war is historically dated to the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on 7 July 1937, when a dispute between [[File:Showa.png]] Japanese and [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] Chinese troops in Peking escalated into a full-scale invasion. This war is often regarded as the start of the Second World War in Asia. Following the Marco-Polo Bridge Incident, the [[File:Showa.png]] Japanese were able to score major victories such as capturing large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and the [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] Chinese capital of Nanjing in 1937, which would result in the Rape of Nanjing/Nanjing Massacre. Prior to failing to stop the [[File:Showa.png]] Japanese forces in the Battle of Wuhan, the [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] Chinese government was relocated to Chongqing. While Japan ruled the large cities, it lacked the adequate manpower to control [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] China's vast countryside.

The [[File:NRA.png]] National Revolutionary Army under the command of Generalissimo [[File:ChiangKaiShek.png]] Chiang Kai-shek bravely fought against Japanese fascist invaders in 22 major battles that were extremely bloody. By 1939, after Chinese victories in Changsha and Guangxi, the war reached a stalemate. The war would end on September 2nd, 1945, resulting in the [[File:Showa.png]] Japanese surrendering to the Allies. The Japanese troops committed countless war crimes and murdered at least 10 million civilians during this war, and were notorious for their war crimes, such as [[File:Unit-731.png]] 731 human experiments.

After the war, the Chinese economy collapsed due to the lack of [[File:Cball-US.png]] American foreign aid in the war, unlike most other counties like [[File:Cball-UK.png]] Britain, [[File:Gaullismicon2.png]] Free France, and [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] the USSR. The inflation rate skyrocketed, and corruption became extremely rampant. The [[File:ChinaCP.png]] [[Maoism|CPC]] was able to take advantage of this and launched a major “offensive” after Japan surrendered and controlled 2/3 of the territories occupied by Japan after Japan surrendered. Many historians assess that this war destroyed the popularity and stability [[File:RightKMT.png]] [[Tridemism|Nationalist Government]] and paved the way for the communist takeover as the communists made minimum efforts to resist Japan, but instead focused on expanding its troops to turn on the nationalists.

Due to the fact that Showa Japan was militarily allied with [[File:Nazi.png]] Nazi Germany and [[File:Cball-King-Italy.png]] Fascist Italy and shared ideological similarities, Showa Statism is usually taken to be a type of [[File:Fash.png]] [[Fascism]], although this is disputed by some. Showa Statism is a syncretism of extremist ideologies. Some believed to unify the Asian race under the sacred rule of the emperor, some believed it was their destiny to liberate Asia from Western powers. Showa Statism is anti-western, anti-liberal, anti-communist, and anti-capitalist.

===[[File:Strato.png]][[File:Anticommunism.png]] Zaibatsu oligopoly [[File:Corp.png]]===

The military often criticized political parties under a liberal democracy and the complicity of the politicians with the [[File:Corp.png]] zaibatsu corporate monopolies. [[File:Strato.png]] The military and zaibatsu favored the [[File:Corp.png]] state controlling the market, to reduce the attraction of [[File:Soc-h.png]] leftist ideologies like communism and socialism. This led to the rise of monopolies being formed during the Meiji Restoration, and some of those monopolies were owned by the state itself and the [[File:Corp.png]] zaibatsus. This economic arrangement was in ways similar to the Corporatocracy model.

The Nippon Kaigi (日本会議, "Japan Conference") is an [[File:Ultranat.png]] ultranationalist, militarist and historical revisionist non-government organization who seek to "change the postwar national consciousness based on the Tokyo Tribunal's view of history as a fundamental problem" and to revise Japan's current Constitution. Most of the members of Nippon Kaigi viewed the [[File:LDP(Japan).png]] Liberal Democratic Party of Japan as their political partner, as the movement is influential in the legislative and executive branches of the Japanese government through its affiliates. They are critical of progressivism, especially having [[File:AntiFem.png]] anti-feminist and [[File:Anti-LGBT.png]] anti-LGBT sentiments in general.

The [[File:NettoUyoku.png]] [[Alt-Right|Netto-uyokus]] (ネット右翼, Japanese Internet rightists, sometimes shortened to Netouyo or ネトウヨ) are netizens who embrace [[File:Ultranat.png]] ultranationalist far-right views on Japanese social media. The netto-uyoku are individuals with xenophobic and racist views and they generally convey support for historically revisionist views that portray the former [[File:Showa-kanmuri.png]] Empire of Japan in a positive way. They are compared with the western [[File:Altr.png]] [[Alt-Right]] due to their similarities
