Abstract
Abstract During the period of 1937-1945, as Japan embarked on its military expansion in Asia, the Muslim-populated regions in northern China held strategic importance. Japan recognized the need for an "Islamic policy" and implemented various "Islamic campaigns" to consolidate its presence in these areas. These campaigns were driven by the objective of establishing a sphere of influence encompassing northern China and extending towards Central Asia within the larger context of Eurasia. By aligning its policies with those of its allies and leveraging soft control, Japan aimed to counteract rival powers and ensure its dominance in the region. To fully understand these Japanese activities and their implications, this research employs a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing historical sources and firsthand information. By adopting a constructivist perspective, this study aims to shed light on the motives, strategies, and consequences of Japan's efforts to create and sustain its sphere of influence in the Muslim region of northern China, thereby contributing to our understanding of the significance of this historical period in the broader Eurasian context.
