Pre-World War II Japan, throughout the first half of the twentieth century, was a nation with a strong military force, growing economy, and unique ethnic identity. Contemporary China exhibits similar characteristics in the first part of the twenty-first century. Culture, language, geography, military force, economy, and religion, to name only a few, are frequently referred to by scholars as sources for uniting people under the banner of nationalism. Oftentimes, a mix of these aspects helps to establish national unity and identity. Were Japan's military, economy, and culture the main drivers of Japanese nationalism before 1945, and are these same factors driving Chinese nationalism today? After comparing similarities between Japanese and Chinese nationalism and the roles the military, economy, and culture play as primary drivers for building national unity, this study finds that Japan's military in the early twentieth century primarily drove national unity, with ethnic racism and economy as close supplementary factors. China's economy, on the other hand, has been the primary factor for building national unity today. Japan's interaction with the League of Nations and China's One Belt, One Road initiative and interaction with regional institutions greatly influenced each state's primary driving factor. Where Japan's approach to nationalism failed in interaction with international institutions, China has succeeded, and a united China may very well be the next East Asian hegemon. Will Chinese nationalism result in war?
