On the reasons for the emergence of the Northern Alliance during the Boshin Civil War of 1868–1869 in Japan
Abstrak
The article is devoted to a phenomenon underexplored in Russian Japanese studies – Ouetsu-reppan-dōmei (奥羽越列藩同盟), the “Alliance of domains of the Provinces of Mutsu, Dewa, and Echigo”, or simply the Northern Alliance. This confederation of domains in Northern Japan emerged in 1868 to oppose the policies of the new Meiji government in Kyoto. The Alliance initially aimed to mediate peacefully between the new government and the Aizu domain, which was being subjected to a punitive campaign. Later, the Alliance itself became the target of attacks and chose the path of military resistance, becoming a political competitor to Kyoto. The study leaves aside the direct military component of the Northern Alliance’s history, referring to descriptions of military operations only when necessary. The emphasis is placed on examining the political processes which made the armed conflict inevitable.
