| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) Anglo-Celt Australians, who belonged to the dominant white race group in Australia in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, treated the Japanese as if they were the dominant group. By doing so, the white Australians could justify not only an introduction of the White Australia policy but also an expansion in armaments. This could be said by researching the first and second primary sources such as the latest academic books and articles, documents from the libraries and archives mainly in Australia.
(2) It has also become clear that Alfred Deakin, who became the Prime Minister of Australia there times in the 1900s, played a significant role to treat the Japanese as a dominant race group in order to introduce the White Australia policy and the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy in 1911.
