Tanks, aircrafts and submarines were also not allowed to be held by Germany. All these steps were deemed to be taken to prevent Germany from initiating any other war. Germany abided by the restrictions imposed by this treaty only by the end of second decade of the 20th century. In January 1933, Adolf Hitler was powered up by the disgruntled and poor people of Germany to take over the throne. The basis of their belief in Hitler was that they wanted a person who might empower Germany again and pull to pieces the unjust and unfair treaty. As a result, Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany. Soon after he became the Chancellor, he started the building up of German forces. He also empowered the German army by equipping it with modern weapons. Initially, all this was done secretly but soon it came to light. However, the Great Britain and France took it lightly. They were of the view that these actions will strengthen and will be helpful in stopping the flourish of Communism in Europe. After having built up the German forces for 2 years, Hitler gave them order to enter into Rhineland in 1936. The reason provided by Germany for this invasion is the threat that Germany was facing as a result of treaty with Russia. So, it became very important for Germany to post its troops in Rhineland. It is also considered by many historians reasonable that as Rhineland was a part of Germany, so, there is no bar if German troops are posted there. However, Germany was very weak at this point and little intervention by Britain or France could have defeated them. However, neither of these two intervened as they did not want to start another war with Germany. Meanwhile, Hitler also stepped forward to make allies with two important countries of Japan and Italy. Later on, Hitler advanced to take back the land of Austria. In March 1938, Hitler ordered German army to march in Austria to occupy the land. Austrian leader was then forced to conduct a poll to decide whether the people of Austria wanted union with Germany. The results showed the favor of 99% of the citizens of Austria to live with Germany. The Austrian leader asked for help but, on been satisfied from Hitler side, none of Britain and France came to help Austria. Adolf Hitler promised that the union of Austria with Germany will end the aims of expansion of Hitler and he will not move further on. However, breaching his own words, Hitler insisted that the region of Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia should be handed over to Germany. Neville Chamberlain, the then British Prime Minister, met Hitler thrice in September, 1938. Chamberlain was himself of the view that Treaty of Versailles was not just and equitable for Germany. So, he took a soft corner for Germany. Finally, it was decided in Munich Agreement that the region of Sudetenland would be handed over to Germany on the provision of Hitler’s assurance that he would not make claims for any further territories. The agreement was mutually decided and signed by German, British, French and Italian leaders. However, Czech government was not involved in the agreement upon which they recorded their protest. However, Hitler occupied whole of the Czechoslovakia in 1939 March. Czechoslovak government asked for help but none of Britain and France intervened in the invasion. However, both of these countries promised that they would take military action against Hitler if the German forces advanced towards Poland.

For whatever reasons, Ōe resorted to inventing an alter ego whereby he could secretly act out a fantasy life and thereby handle the first year of his son’s life. De Bellis defined alter ego as “a psychological term that refers to an artist’s creation of a character&nbsp.similar to himself” (11). Bird, the protagonist from A Private Matter, was Ōe’s alter ego simply doing all the sinful and mischievous things that Ōe so longed to do as he went about dutifully behaving as a proper husband and father.

Born in Japan in 1935, Kenzaburo Ōe spent his youth on the Japanese island of Shikoku (Ōe x). His childhood bliss was shattered in 1945, according to Neufeld, Y’Blood, and Jefferson, when the United States called for a surrender of Japan by strategically aiming bombs at 67 Japanese cities (124). When Japan refused to capitulate, Neufeld et al. continued, the United Kingdom and the Republic of China joined the United States and called for Japan’s surrender through the Potsdam Declaration. Japan ignored this as well. On two separate days in 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on two cities in Japan, with deaths reaching 90,000 to 166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000&nbsp.in Nagasaki within the following two to four months. At least half of the deaths occurred on the specific day of the bombing (124-125).

Whether the bombs of World War II physically touched Ōe or his family is unknown, but the war must have affected him tremendously. Later in his life, he wrote a book, Hiroshima Notes, in memory of what happened at Hiroshima. Ōe also wrote of his childhood pain when he learned the Japanese Emperor had surrendered in the war, and when Ōe realized the Emperor had a “human voice, no different from any other adult’s” (xi). “The values that had regulated life in the world he knew as a child, however fatally, were blown to smithereens after the war” (xi).
