[edit] JAPAN FACES THE WORLD, 1925-1952
This survey looks at the Japanese role in World War II and the country's global history. It examines Japan's aggressive foreign policy - particularly in China during the 1930s and 40s - and the post-war reconstruction orchestrated by the Americans.
By 1925 the process of Japan's transition to a modern industrialised, westernised state was pretty much complete. Not only had the imperial tradition been restored with the Meiji Restoration in 1868, but some forms of democratic parliamentary institutions had been set up. However, during the years that followed, the so-called imperial democracy came under pressure as the Japanese sought to impose tight control over not only their own people but their neighbours as well. This impressive survey looks at developments at home, Japan's aggressive foreign policy particularly in China during the 1930s and 1940s, and her role in the Second World War. Finally, the post-war reconstruction orchestrated by the Americans is examined. The cut-off point is 1952 - the date when Allied Occupation formally came to an end and Japan once again became independent. *Japanese role in World War Two and global history of first part of twentieth century is huge. *Japan and modern Japanese history is an increasing area of interest and study in the UK. *There are no short, focused studies such as this on the modern history of Japan this book will give a hands-on brief account.
