The Ogasawara, or Bonin, Islands is an archipelago located halfway between Tokyo and Guam. The first inhabitants were not Japanese but Americans who immigrated there in 1830. Because of its location, the islands was a target of American imperialism, or 'manifest destiny' rooted in American religion, Puritanism, which has led to the tendency to see the world simply in terms of good and evil. The islands was placed under the U.S.A. trusteeship after the World War II to constitute an essential link in the strategic defense of the whole Pacific area. The inhabitants were divided between two groups. Those whose ancestors were American or European were allowed to live in the islands with a complete support by the American Navy, but the others who were purely Japanese were forcibly kept on mainland, Japan for twenty three years despite their clear desire of returning to the islands. From the American religious point of view, we can draw the conclusion that these people were divided simply in terms of the principle of good and evil.
