World War I created a huge demand for Japanese iron, steel, textiles production and foreign trade but by the 1920s as the War reached a conclusion, it halted the previously insatiable demand for military products and in turn shut down production factories leaving thousands of labourers unemployed. The 1929 US stock market crash and great depression heavily crippled trade relations with Japan, the economic downturn having a devastating effect on the Japanese community with businesses ceasing, inflation and unemployment soaring and the September 1923 Earthquake only heightening these dismal conditions. By the 1930s, the Japanese economy had mostly recovered, with new acquired technological skills and advancements. The government wanted to this time build a better and stronger society, using the nation’s military superiority over its neighbours to embark on a program of foreign conquest. However as an island country, Japan did not have the sufficient amounts of supply of natural resources especially oil and iron within its territory, and this became the largest reason for the Japanese government to expand its zone of influence over other countries particularly in regions such as China and the South East . Around the same period, China had also strengthened herself as a nation from a disintegrating empire into a struggling national republic and as Chiang Kai Shek’s gained momentum, it threatened Japanese interests in Manchuria and Mongolia. After discovering that Chiang was supported by both the United States and the United Kingdom through several trade routes, the leadership of Japanese military forces argued that…
Toyotomi Hideyoshi dreamed of ruling Korea, China, and even India with his power base in Japan. His attacks on Korea eventually stalled and he died before he could fulfill his dreams. but his actions sparked the unification of Japan, for the first time in history, a step that would be crucial in the country's rise to world power 3 centuries later. Political unification encouraged economic growth, partly because it put an end to much of the fighting that had consumed Japan during the preceding years. At the same time that Japanese leaders were attempting to unify Japan under central government, European ships were beginning to make their to the islands.…
Two ships can arrive at the same destination; however that does not necessarily mean that they used the same route on their journey. Such is the same with the industrialization of Britain and Japan. Both rose to become the two great pioneers of the modern world; however the paths they took to success were different. This paper will compare Japan and Britain, exploring the causes of its industrialization, and how the countries drastically changed because of it. What sets Britain’s industrialization process apart from Japans is that it did not have a role model to base its development on; it was the first industrial nation. Therefore the cause of its industrialization must have much contrast with Japans. Britain’s industrialization must pay tribute to its growing population, political stability and geographical advantage…
Transport was slow and difficult, so production was mostly local. Competitive prices in the marketplace only led to reduced incomes resulting in lower quality goods and services which benefited no one. Craftsmen formed unions to protect their trade by enforcing fixed prices. The indoctrination of Japanese military personnel to have little respect for the act of surrendering led to conduct which Allied soldiers found deceptive. During the Pacific War, there were incidents where Japanese soldiers feigned surrender in order to lure Allied troops into ambushes. In addition, wounded Japanese soldiers sometimes tried to use hand grenades to kill Allied troops attempting to assist them. The Japans social and political circumstance’s is different from the age of the plunder in this United States. In some areas that the Japans forsake, there changing of the economic beliefs that they overpower the people in Japan, rather to help them make Japan a better country as for the Europeans in the United States are trying to make our country a better place to live with better jobs, food supply, and less war in other countries. I do believe Japan would rather keep having war with the United States…
Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan was controlled by a feudal structure of power, where people would be given land in return for their money or services. When this was abolished, Japan moved into a new system of power called a constitutional monarchy. This advanced their society by getting rid of the samurai and many other traditions holding Japan back from advancing. Japan also built up its military under the Meiji which eventually overpowered the Russians in 1905. The British trained the Japanese army and the Germans trained the navy making it well trained and disciplined. The Meiji Revolution transformed Japan into an industrialized state by opening up it borders to trade, getting rid of feudalism and the samurai, and strengthening its…
Prior to engaging in the Second World War, Japan was already facing a myriad of problems. It started to depend increasingly on the supply of raw materials, especially that of oil from external sources instead of domestic production. Even though they were faced with these difficulties however, even if they were lacking these resources and experiencing difficulties, Japan was also at that time, building a successful empire of stable industrial foundation, associated with good army and naval strength. The military became powerful part of the government, and this set the stage for trouble.…
