How many wars has Japan been in?

Answer 1

Japan has been in an almost constant state of warfare since recorded history. Mostly it was internal conflicts for control of the country, or certain parts of it, which were largely put to rest when Ieyasu Tokugawa seized the Shogunate and united most of Japan.

Beyond that, there were occasional skirmishes with Korea or China, some tensions when the Europeans arrived, and periodic unrest with some of the more remote areas of the country wanting autonomy from central government.

In 1905, there was the short but spectacular Russo-Japanese War where Japan flexed its newly found industrial muscle and crushed the Russian navy.

Then in the 1930's came Japanese expansionism which saw the invasion of China and Korea, much along the same lines as Nazi Germany, and generally flowed into what became the Second World War.

Any book on Ieyasu Tokugawa would give a good insight into Japanese feudal military history.
