In order to fully understand the welfare state in Japan today, research into Japanese aggression between 1931 to 1945 is needed. The concept of "welfare state" as a term was not apparent during the period from 1931 to 1945 in Japan. The framework regarding the welfare state, however, has been built up since that time. The foundation of "the Ministry of Health and Welfare" during the time of aggression and world war II occupy an important position in the process of the development of the Japanese welfare state. Until recently studies on the welfare state concentrated only on the policies of "the Ministry of Health and Welfare", the main constituent has not been studied in earnest. The main object of this paper is to study the role the war played in the process of the development of the Japanese welfare state. The following questions will be discussed : 1. The social background of the foundation of "the Ministry of Health and Welfare". 2. The role of "the Department of the Army", the late prime minister Konoei, "the Department of the Interior" during the foundation of "the Ministry of Health and Welfare". 3. The principal policies for carrying out the war that were established by "the Ministry of Health and Welfare".
