History of Japan

The Shogunate is established in Japan when Minamoto Yoritomo was one of the greatest statesmen Japan had ever produced.He was the founder of Japan's military government known as the SHOGUNATE. The chief military officer of shogunate is called "SHOGUN". A shogun controls the law,the courts and appointments to office. MINAMOTO YORITOMO,the elder brother of MINAMOTO YOSHITSUNE,became the first Shogun of Japan.

He used him Japanese military force to get raw materials that they didnt get in japan or couldn't get in japan

Prince Shotoku was a famous Japanese regent. He sent Japanese people to China to study Chinese culture and art, he opened the first Japanese embassy in China and wrote the first Japan's first constitution.

Emperor Hirohito.

that's a lame qustion but it affects it cause there is no space cause mountains cover 80% of the islands

-one is Mount Fuji. -Another is the Tokyo tower. -Okinawa is famous for it's beaches. -Kamakura is famous for Enoshima Light House and it being Japan's very first capital before it moved to Kyoto, Japan's Second capital, then to Edo, now known as Tokyo. -Hokkaido, the northern most province of Japan, is know for it's winter snows

Immigration by Japanese citizens during the late-1800s sharply declined. This was because Japanese, along with other Asian immigrants were denied citizenship and faced occasional violence when they came to the U.S.

Fearing European control of Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1867) limited contact with foreigners and adopted a policy of isolation. The shoguns restricted trade and prohibited European clergy from entering Japan. Japanese were not allowed to travel overseas. Japan's isolation was shattered in July 1853 when a fleet of American ships sailed into Edo Bay, demanding trading rights. Recognizing the superiority of the United States Navy, the shogun opened Japanese ports to the Americans. Britain, France, and Russia quickly followed and acquired trading rights of their own. Upset with the shogun for allowing foreign influences in Japan, the daimyo and samurai overthrew the shogun in 1867 and "restored" the emperor to power. Up to then, the emperor had been nothing more than a figurehead. The young emperor took the name Meiji, meaning "enlightened rule." This period in Japanese history is called the Meiji Restoration.

Ieyasu Tokugawa was invested as Shogun on the 2nd of December, 1603, following the Battle of Sekigahara during which all opposition was crushed. He died on the 1st of June, 1616, at the age of 74.

The great wall of china took so long to be built because at first ( around 200 BC ) it was just a bunch of disconnected, single walls. Then China got the brilliant idea to connect all the walls to protect them from their enemy ( Mongolia ). Which took a while because they used mud and rocks.

Hirohito was a good Emperor that made bad desions in his life

Because it was isolated from the rest of the world on an island for so long (over 200 years).

If the U.S. has a trade deficit with another country, that means that we import more product into the U.S. than we export to that country. There are two main implications. The first is that we have money leaving the country (used to buy the foreign products). The second is that we are losing jobs to that country because we are 'hiring' more of their people to make things for us than we are 'hiring' here to make things for them.

Incidentally, some countries (such as China) intentionally 'devalue' their currencies so that their products are cheaper for us. The effect is that their products are cheaper to our citizens than those made here in the U.S. The result is an increased trade deficit as U.S. citizens buy more, cheaper foreign products. Walmart is as successful as it is because it sells mostly Chinese and other foreign products that are far cheaper than domestically made products. The ultimate impact though is loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs as the demand for 'expensive' U.S. made products declines.

The biggest result was the creation of HMS Dreadnought launched in 1906. All of the experimentation conducted by pre-dreadnoughts (pre-1906) was observed, recorded, corrected, and finalized for the creation of HMS Dreadnought.

HMS Dreadnought started a whole new arm's race which led directly into WWI.

A group of Portuguese sailors crash landed on a small island called Tanegashima in 1542.

A shogunate, or bakufu, is a military dictatorship. The Shogun is the head of the government. How this government actually governed really depends on which period of the Tokugawa Bakufu you are referring to. Towards the end of the period, there was a Bakuhan system established. This basically meant that the national government (the bakufu) shared power with the individuals provinces (hans).

Also called Perry Convention (March 31, 1854), Japan's first treaty with a Western nation. Concluded by representatives of the United States and Japan at Kanagawa (now part of Yokohama), it marked the end of Japan's period of seclusion (1639-1854). The treaty was signed as a result of pressure from U.S. Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who sailed into Tokyo Bay with a fleet of warships in July 1853 and demanded that the Japanese open their ports to U.S. ships for supplies. Perry then left Japan in order to give the government a few months to consider its decision. When he returned in February 1854, the Japanese, aware that none of their armaments was a match for Perry's warships, agreed to admit U.S. ships to the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate and to accept a U.S. consul at Shimoda. The Treaty of Kanagawa was the first of the treaties signed between Japan and other Western countries in the 19th century.

Freedom. Well, i often think of butterflies, dragonflies, and maybe even dragons as representing freedom. Many flying creators can symbolize freedom, to me anyway. These creators can go anywhere, they can fly away when they want to, they are truly free and not tied down. I think of them as independent and strong, even if the dragonfly only loves for a few days. However, often people have their own ways of representing things, just ask yourself what comes to mind first when you think of freedom, maybe you'll surprise yourself but it will be meaningful to you.

Reagan was supported by evangelical christians during his campaign and he encouraged things like church on Sunday and normal marriages between a man and a women

like yours :D

Shogun

December 25th 1926 when his father (Emperor Taisho (Yoshihito)) died.

A spear. Some people will tell you a katana, but the katana has little practical value in mass combat.

The 1920s in Japan are referred to as the Taisho Democracy period. The legislature had gained significant powers from the Imperial council, the Genro, by using their authority over the governmental budget. The number of political parties had increased.

The right to vote was expanded beyond landholders to all adult males age 20 and over, but communism was largely outlawed by the Peace Preservation Law that followed (espousing communism remained illegal until the US demanded the rescinding of the law during the post WWII occupation).

It was also a period where different western philosophies and literature styles entered the country, as well as some attitudes regarding society.

It depends on your perspective. Ninjas were a secretive class of Japanese agents trained in the arts of espionage and assassination -- the style of stealth and martial arts used by ninjas is called ninjitsu.
