[世界史の理解]

2024年02月19日

当研究所は電子書籍を3冊発表しています。『三国同盟秘史』は日独伊三国同盟を１９世紀後半の三国の中央集権国家の誕生の時期にまで遡りいかに親独派が形成され第一次世界大戦でもその親独派は生き残り、ヒトラー政権誕生後に再び親独派が思わぬことから急速に成長していく過程を描いたもの。当研究所は英語のみの出版が基本ですが、日本の読者層や大学受験生への配慮からこの作品だけは日本語版も用意しました。２作目は、『Ribbentrops』。ナチス幹部の中で、読み物として一番面白いのではないかと思いリッベントロップ家に関する著作を出版しました。ナチス幹部の中で、党や公職の給料なしでも十分やっていける唯一の幹部、また入党がこれほど遅い幹部もリッベントロップのみです。急速な昇進、増える別荘、自分の会社の売り上げも急上昇、おまけに妻の目立ち度と長男の戦歴が加わり、当然のことながら、他の幹部からの嫉妬や中傷。適度なところでやめておくことの難しさを教えてくれます。人生最後がたっぷりの年金と豪邸では、読み物としては面白くありません。日本では、織田信長や坂本龍馬が歴史上の人気人物ですが、やはり最後は鮮烈なものとなりました。3冊目は、『Neutralities』。第二次世界大戦は最初から日独伊側の負けが決まっていたのか。これが当研究所の第二次世界大戦に対する基本姿勢です。ヨーロッパの中立国からアルゼンチンやイランまで描いたものですが、共通しているのはドイツや日本寄りの中立国であったこと。大半が連合国側の植民地だったのとそれまでの外圧も連合国側だったとなると当然の結果かもしれません。こんな有利な状況を生かしきれなかった枢軸国側の失策とも言えるでしょう。当研究所は世界史研究所であって、第二次世界大戦の研究所でありません。今後は、帝国理念の継承を基本理念として、現在の中国とロシアの源流、イスラム世界の源流をそれぞれモンゴル帝国とウマイア朝イスラム帝国にまで遡り行動原理を解明していく予定です。



Our institute has published three e-books. " The Secret History of the Tripartite Treaty dates back to the time of the birth of the centralized state of the three countries in the latter half of the 19th century, and how pro-Germanism was formed, and the pro-German faction survived even in World War I, and after the birth of the Hitler regime, the pro-German faction rapidly resurrected in the unexpected form again. It depicts the process of growing up. Our institute basically publishes only in English, but we have also prepared a Japanese version of this work due to consideration for Japanese readers and university students. The second work is "Ribbentrops". Among the Nazi executives, I thought it would be the most interesting reading material, so I published a book about the Ribbentrop family. Among the Nazi executives, the only one who can do well without the salary of the party and public office, and the only executive who joined the party so late is Ribbentrop. Rapid promotion, increasing villas, and the sales of his company are also rising rapidly, and in addition, his wife's conspicuousness and his eldest son's amazing activities as waffen SS officer on the western and eastern fronts are added, and of course, jealousy and slander from other executives. It teaches you how difficult it is to stop in a moderate place. In a pension and a mansion with plenty of life, it's not interesting as a reading material. In Japan, Nobunaga Oda and Ryoma Sakamoto are popular figures in history, but in the end both of them lived vivid and tragic lives. The third book is "Neutralities". In World War II, the defeat of the Japanese, German and Italian side was decided from the very beginning. This is the basic attitude of our institute toward World War II. I drew everything from European neutral countries to Argentina and Iran, but what they have in common is that they were neutral countries close to Germany and Japan. It may be a natural result as most of them were colonies on the Allied side and the external pressure until then was also on the Allied side. It can be said that it is a blunder on the Axis side that could not make use of such an advantageous situation. Our institute is a world history research institute, not a World War II research institute. In near future, with the inheritance of the imperial philosophy as the basic philosophy, we plan to elucidate the principle of action by going back the current source of China and Russia and the source of the Islamic world to the Mongolian Empire and the Umawiyyan Islamic Empire respectively.
