Do any of you know if Yamamoto agreed philosophically or morally with the Japanese colonial agenda? I don't generally read biographys (boring!) and the books I've read focus on practical issues. |

I don't think he was concerned much with morals. He opposed creating a big colonial empire only because he felt that it was sure to lead to war with the United States--a war he didn't think Japan could win. If the empire could be created without war with the US, he probably had no objections on morale grounds. |

He pretty clearly didn't object to a surprise attack before a declaration of war. |
