History of Japan

Well Korea used to be one country, but then after World War II, Korea was taken away from Japan and became independent. But they decided not to be on country and they split into two countries, hence North and South Korea. North Korea became a communist government with the help of the soviet Union and South Korea became a democratic government with the help of the United States.

There are both positive and negative impacts from Japans isolation during the Edo period. The long peace cultivated domestic culture and the economy was boosted. Because of the Edo period, industrial revolution was delayed and unfavorable treaties were made.

Japan

The Meiji Restoration took place in Japan.

1. A limited war (limited to conventional non-nuclear weapons).

2. It was fought between two separate nations: North Korea and South Korea (with their appropiate allies).

3. A civil war is fought against itself. One nation fighting itself.

What did the Yamato do during the Great Change??????

Trade with Europe began in 1543 after the Portuguese arrived in the country. Several events led to the closing off of trade by 1650 during the Edo period. First of all, the slave trade led to large numbers of Japanese people being sold into slavery and traded throughout Europe. Second, Catholic missionaries began widespread conversions to Christianity, and the Jesuits moved some Christian activity underground, resulting in the 'Hidden Christians.'

Japan had gained military, political, and economic strength.

Japanese attacked Korea in 17 century because a crazy guy called Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to take over ChoSeon(Ancient Korea),Ming,and India

It's so crazy and ridiculous

-edit, the above comment is just ridiculous-

The reason why Japan attacked (in the 19th to 20th century) was because Japan wanted man power and the food capablity Korea had. Not only did Japan want Korea but Russia and China also wanted power over Korea. At the late 19th century and almost the beginning of 20th century, Japan assassinated the Korean Princess and burned her to show that Japan was going to rule Korea from that point on. The Japanese occupation lasted til 1945 when Japan was pushed back to their homeland.

To this day, Japanese government officials deny this ever happend and argues that they will not apologize for what they have never done (which is untrue). The good thing is that the President of Japan apologized for the cause of world war 2 and the occupation of Korea which they had raped many women and children and used Men for their dirty works. I could talk about the cruelties of the Japanese occupation but that wouldn't be enough.

-edit-

I believe the first poster is referring to the Imjin War (1592-1598 Japanese Invasions of Korea). In this case, Japan under the leadership of Toyotomi Hideyoshi sought to conquer Korea, Manchuria, China, and India. At first, Hideyoshi only sought to conquer Ming China and requested passage through Korea to do so. However, Korea refused since they were close allies with Ming China. This led to the Japanese Invasions of Korea in which Korea, allied with Ming China, defeated the Japanese invading forces twice. Note that the first poster is also correct in saying that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was "crazy" because in the final part of the Imjin War, Hideyoshi did end up going insane.

The most familiar types of Japanese warriors are ninjas, samurais, Ronin, and warrior monks. Some popular warriors were the Forty-Seven Ronin, Hattori Hanzo, Fuma Kotaro, Saigo Takamori, and Yamaoka Tesshu.

One of the major features of the United States is that it is a melting pot of different cultures. As such, American culture itself is a combination of the different influences brought over by immigrants.

Seppuku - a ritual for killing yourself. (an answer ten years in the making)

The Tokugawa Shogunate was established after the death of Hideyoshi in 1598. It is also known in history as the Edo period which lasted for about 250 years. It is considered as a form of Japanese military feudal government.

On June 19, 1944, the Japanese 333rd Air Group, led by Captain Eiichiro Jyo, set out in Zero fighters laden with 250 kg (550 lb) bombs, and attacked a US battleship task group. About a dozen Zeroes got through and two allegedly made suicide attacks, one of which hit the USS Indiana.
