Japanese wartime propaganda was, as with </span>Nazi Germany's propaganda<span>, a reaction against perceived foreign cultural domination.

The believers in this propaganda saw themselves as offering a different, distinctly Japanese, way of life from Western </span>Imperialism<span>. Propaganda portrayed the West, and especially the Anglo-Saxon world, as decadent and weak. Japanese nationalistic propaganda made it difficult for the diverse nations of Asia to feel that they belonged in the new world order Japan was offering. (Japanese propaganda also promoted general </span>Pan-Arianism, but this was never implemented as thoroughly as the nationalistic elements.) Because of this, Japanese propaganda was less appealing to non-Japanese than American propaganda, with its message of universal democracy open (in theory) to everybody."At first, the government was reluctant to engage in propaganda campaigns, but pressure from the media, the business sector and advertisers who wanted direction persuaded the government to take an active role.<span> Even so, the government insisted that its actions were not propaganda, but a means of providing information.</span><span> These efforts were slowly and haphazardly formed into a more unified propaganda effort, although never to the level of World War I.</span>
