Question 2

With reference to its origin, purpose and content, analyse the value and limitations of Source K for a historian studying the tensions between the US and Japan 2 STATE THE LIMITATIONS

Accepted Answer

Source K can be a limitation because a historian studying the tensions between the US and Japan will be given a Japanese perspective into the reasons why Japan attacked the US, which might possibly be influenced by Hosoya's nationality Source K can be a limitation because since it was written it 1968, a historian can’t learn first hand accounts of what was happening during the years of tensions as Hosoya might possibly never served in World War Two.

On 27 September 1940, Germany, Italy and Japan signed the Tripartite Pact. They all agreed that Japan would dominate Asia, Germany would take over most of Europe and Italy would try to try to rebuild the Roman Empire’s territory. This agreement provided for mutual assistance should any one of the three powers be attacked by another country. The Germans and Italians conveyed a clear warning to the United States that it would face war with Japan if it entered the war in Europe on Britain's side. With this agreement, as Source K puts it, Japan “worsened relations with the United States”.
