Fukuzawa Yukichi’s Datsu-A Ron is a relic of Japan’s modern nationalism. Since its’
publication in the year of 1885, arguably, it had been branded as the very seed that led
Japan onto the war path in the Pacific War. Yet, this rather short and dense pre-war
Japanese nationalistic theory contains complex layers that may easily complicate its
readers’ comprehensions. The purpose of this thesis is to decode the key words that were
used in this theory and dissect the layers of this theory’s intentions to the general public
for a clear and objective understanding.
