Abstract

The outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War was, along with the Spanish Civil War, one of the preliminary military episodes of the Second World War. This led to both Spain and Japan cultivating a relationship with Germany and Italy, as well as an intensification of Spanish-Japanese relations. Amongst other elements, these relations began to display a propagandistic inflection which did not escape the attention of the Canarian press. By analysing the main headlines in Gran Canaria from July 1937 to the end of 1938, this work delves into the construction of Imperial Japan’s image, as much as coverage of conflict during the course of the war.
