About this Quote

This quote by Hideki Tojo is describing Japan's proposal at the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919. Japan proposed the concept of racial equality, which would have offered all races equivalent rights and chances. Regrettably, this proposition was rejected by delegates from Britain and the United States. This rejection was a significant problem for Japan, as it was an indication that the Western powers did not recognize the equality of all races. This rejection was a significant factor in the rise of Japanese militarism and nationalism in the years leading up to World War II. It likewise revealed the West's lack of understanding of the value of racial equality, which was a significant problem in the 20th century. This quote acts as a tip of the importance of recognizing the equality of all races, and the repercussions of refraining from doing so.
