NY Daily News
dated July 20, 1944.
This newspaper contains a front page headline and inside page report of the forced resignation of Imperial Japan Prime Minister
HIDEKI TOJO
.
Hideki Tojo (December 30, 1884 – December 23, 1948) was a
general
of the
Imperial Japanese Army
(IJA), the leader of the
Imperial Rule Assistance Association
, and the 40th
Prime Minister of Japan
during much of World War II, from October 17, 1941, to July 22, 1944. As Prime Minister, he was responsible for the
attack on Pearl Harbor
, which initiated war between Japan and the United States, although planning for it had begun before he entered office. After the end of the war, Tojo was arrested, sentenced to death for
Imperial Japanese war crimes
by the
International Military Tribunal for the Far East
, and hanged on December 23, 1948.
His popularity was sky-high in the early years of the war, as Japanese forces went from one great victory to another. However, after the
Battle of Midway
, with the tide of war turning against Japan, Tojo faced increasing opposition from within the government and military. To strengthen his position, in February 1944, Tojo assumed the post of Chief of the
Imperial Japanese Army General Staff
. However, after the
fall of Saipan
, he was forced to resign on July 18, 1944.
