The Red Scare in Japan refers to the promotion of fear of the rise of communism and socialism in Japan.

Anti-Comintern Pact

[edit]

Throughout the history of Imperial Japan, the government suppressed socialist and communist movements.^[1] In order to combat the Communist International, Japan signed the Anti-Comintern Pact with Germany and Italy in Nov. 6, 1937.^[2]

End of World War II in Asia

[edit]

Near the end of World War II in Asia, Prince Konoe Fumimaro promoted the fear of a communist revolution as a result of Japan's defeat.^[3]

Cold War and CIA funding for anti-communist parties

[edit]

In response to Cold War tensions in Asia, the CIA funded the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party in an effort to turn Japan into a bulwark against communism during the 1950s and 1960s.^[4]
