Afyonun Japonya Serencamı ve Japonya’nın Afyon ile İmtihanı (1853-1895)

Batı’nın Çin ile ilişkileri söz konusu olduğunda ilk akla gelen unsurlardan biri olan afyon ve ticareti aracılığıyla kurdukları denetimdir. Ancak bu süreç içinde Japonya’nın Batı’yla kurduğu ilişkilerde afyonun belirleyici rolü pek bilinmemektedir. Japonya, imzaladığı eşitsiz antlaşmalara rağmen Çin’in aksine afyon ticareti üzerindeki haklarını ve denetimini korumayı başarmış hatta emperyalist bir devlet olma sürecinde afyonu etkin bir araç olarak kullanmıştır. Bu makale, 19. yüzyılın sonlarına doğru eşitsiz antlaşmalardan kurtulan Japonya’nın emperyalist bir devlet olmaya yönelirken afyon ticareti ile ilgili uygulamalarıyla afyon imparatorluğuna dönüşme sürecini incelemektedir.

The Adventure of the Opium in Japan and Japan’s Ordeal with the Opium (1853-1895)

One of the first things that come to mind with regards to the West’s relations with China in the 19th century is the control that they established through opium and its trade. However, little is known about the role of opium in Japan’s relations with the West. Despite the unequal treaties that it signed with the West, Japan was able to protect its commercial rights and control over opium trade and even managed to make use of opium as an effective commodity for its imperialist policies. Towards the end of the 19th century, while getting rid of the unequal treaties, Japan itself began to rise as an imperialist power when its practices on opium trade resulted in the creation of an opium empire. This article aims to examine the role of opium and its trade as a determining factor in the rise of imperialist Japan and evolve into an opium empire.
