I've been thinking about how popular art can be used to make wars more palatable to a population. Like how Uncle Tom's Cabin preceded the American Civil War. Are there other examples? What was popular art like in the Balkans from 189-1910? Or Japan & Germany from 1910-1930?

What were Japanese politics and culture like in the decades leading up to WWII? How did the war with Russia affect Japanese politics and culture and their later military aggression? Are there good books about this period of Japan's history?
