In this episode, the misinterpretations, misreadings, and misunderstandings of diplomatic history are discussed, highlighting the consequences that led to the Second World War. The mistranslations led to several compromises, including one where the Prime Minister had to make a deal with the army for a timetable for war if diplomacy didn't work, ultimately leading to the rise of Hadeki Tojo and the militarist faction as the leaders of Japan.
