	History of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emphasis was especially placed on Japan's "preeminent interests" in the Korean Peninsula, once famously described as a "dagger pointed at the heart of Japan." It was tensions over Korea and Manchuria, respectively, that led Japan to become involved in the first Sino-Japanese War with China in 1894-1895 and the Russo-Japanese War with Russia in 1904-1905.
		Japan was denied an indemnity, which lead to riots due to the massive amounts of public investiture and fervor in the war.
		Japan went to the peace conference at Versailles in 1919 as one of the great military and industrial powers of the world and received official recognition as one of the "Big Five" of the new international order.

	History of Japan - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The written history of Japan began with brief appearances in Chinese history texts from the first century A.D., but abundant archaeological evidence demonstrates that people were living on the islands, which were actually adjoined to the mainland until about 13,000 years ago, as early as the upper paleolithic period.
		The most traumatic event of the period was the Mongol invasions of Japan between 1272 and 1281, in which massive Mongol forces with superior naval technology and weaponry attempted a full-scale invasion of the Japanese islands.
		In 1615, Japan also sent embassies to the Americas and Europe, headed by the samurai Hasekura Tsunenaga, although these efforts were defeated by the deteriorating relationship between Japan and Catholic countries.

	Japanese history: Edo Period
		In 1633, shogun Iemitsu forbade travelling abroad and almost completely isolated Japan in 1639 by reducing the contacts to the outside world to very limited trade relations with China and the Netherlands in the port of Nagasaki.
		The most important philosophy of Tokugawa Japan was Neo-Confucianism, stressing the importance of morals, education and hierarchical order in the government and society: A strict four class system existed during the Edo period: at the top of the social hierarchy stood the samurai, followed by the peasants, artisans and merchants.
		In addition, Japan regularly experienced natural disasters and years of famine that caused riots and further financial problems for the central government and the daimyo.

	Feudal Japan
		Japan was effectively cut-off from the rest of the world, a conscious decision on their part.
		Prior to 1868, Japan was run by a system that loosely resembled the feudal systems of Europe in the middle ages.
		Under the Shogun system Japan situated themselves into a system of almost total isolation from the rest of the world, and because of this isolation Japan enjoyed several centuries of peace and prosperity.

	History of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japan did enjoy friendly relations with Silla Korea as well as formal relationships with Tang China.
		However, this umbrella organization did not have a cohesive political agenda and factional in-fighting persisted throughout its existence, meaning Japan did not devolve into a totalitarian state.
		The U.S.A. initially heavily encouraged Japan's development, seeing a strong Japan as a necessary counterbalance to Communist China.

		It was different from European-style feudalism in that the samurai weren't rewarded by being given estates to run directly — the system which created medieval Europe's pyramid-style pattern of land ownership.
		The rise of the samurai and feudal system thwarted any hope the peasants might have had of improving their status — over the next several centuries, Japanese peasants were reduced to serfdom, bound to the land and treated as the property of the local lord for whom they worked.
		The end of the bakufu came in 1333, when the Hojo family was exterminated by a rival clan, and this action brought the first phase of Japanese feudal age to an end.

		Unlike many other island nations, Japan did not suffer military invasions from other countries, so for almost fifteen centuries, Japan has been, with the exception of influence from China, virtually isolated from its neighbors.
		It is also important to note that in Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, the Ainu people, who are genetically and culturally different from the rest of the Japanese, speak a language that has proven even more difficult to relate to a single language family.
		It is not uncommon in contemporary Japan for the same house to set up both Buddhist and Shinto family altars, or to enact Shinto and Buddhist rituals at weddings and funerals.

		Korean scholars were sent to Japan in the fourth century by the king of Paekche, but Japanese military assistance requested against the kingdom of Silla in 391 arrived too late to save Paekche.
		Japan maintained an imperial theocracy by keeping the emperor's department of worship over the council of state; they considered the hereditary emperor more important than the mandate of heaven, and birth still counted more than ability in Japan.

	Notes On Feudal Japan
		The Samurai are the driving force of this feudal society, and as such is a most appropriate case-study for understanding the nature of Japanese feudalism.
		Therefore, when the 1850's came around and feudal Japan was faced with the reality of the west already undergoing the industrial revolution, there was a level of craftsmanship unheard of outside of Asia.
		There is a particularly fascinating feudal development that relates to merchant culture: at roughly the same time as the northern Italians (and perhaps a bit earlier: 1400-1500s), money replaced rice as the primary means of exchange at Sakai, the merchant village established on foreign trade and not feudal relations.
