Pisanje japanskih listova o Sarajevskom atentatu
Discourse of Japanese Newspapers About Sarajevo Assassination

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine how Japanese newspapers covered the Sarajevo assassination before World War I. The analysis includes not only Tokyo newspapers, but also newspapers in the local city and colonies for the purpose of obtaining a more comprehensive picture. In this regard, we will consider the so far unknown side, that is, descriptions provided by Japanese visitors to Bosnia and Herzegovina before World War I. They provide for the context on Bosnia and Herzegovina in which the assassination itself was analyzed, namely, the context of management of colonies, in particular Formosa. Both analysis explain the role that the assassination had in the Japanese perception of the world, specifically its position in the geopolitical context shortly before World War I.
