==Second term as Foreign Minister== [[File:Shidehara Kijuro on TIME magazine cover.jpg|thumb|left|Shidehara on the cover of the 12 October 1931 issue of [[Time (magazine)|Time]] magazine]] Shidehara returned as Foreign Minister in 1929, and immediately resumed the non-interventionist policy in China, attempting to restore good relations with Chiang Kai-shek's government now based in [[Nanjing]]. This policy was assailed by military interests who believed it was weakening the country, especially after the conclusion of the [[London Naval Conference 1930]], which precipitated a major political crisis. When Prime Minister [[Hamaguchi Osachi]] was seriously wounded in an assassination [[attempt]], Shidehara served as interim prime minister until March 1931. In September 1931, the [[Kwantung Army]] invaded and occupied [[Manchuria]] in the [[Manchurian Incident]] without prior authorization from the central government. This effectively ended the non-interventionist policy towards China, and Shidehara's career as foreign minister. In October 1931, Shidehara was featured on the cover of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' with the caption "Japan's Man of Peace and War".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://content.time.com/time/magazine/archive/covers/0,16641,1101311012,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310192327/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/archive/covers/0,16641,1101311012,00.html |url-status=live |archive-date=10 March 2007 |title=TIME Covers |magazine=Time |access-date=8 January 2013}}</ref> Shidehara remained in government as a member of the [[House of Peers (Japan)|House of Peers]] from 1931 to 1945. He maintained a low profile through the end of [[World War II]].
