	World War II - TheBestLinks.com - Algeria, Austria, Australia, Adolf Hitler, ...
		The weakening of China, partly through the actions of British colonialism, and the rapid modernization of Japan in the late 19th century were perhaps the first precursors to the Pacific theatre of the war.
		The war was fought between two groups of powers: the alliance of the British Commonwealth, United States, Soviet Union, China, and the governments-in-exile of France, Poland, and other occupied European countries—collectively known as the Allies ; and the alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan and their allies —collectively known as the Axis.
		Indeed, the first combat operation in the European Theater of World War II was a German bombing attack against Poland, while the last combat operation in the Pacific Theater was a thousand-aircraft bombing attack on Japan, on 14 August 1945.

	Battle of Okinawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Okinawa, fought on the island of Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands (south of the four big islands of Japan), was the largest amphibious assault during the Pacific campaign of World War II.
		The Americans were planning Operation Downfall, the invasion of the main islands of Japan, which never happened, due to the Japanese surrender resulting from the American use of the atomic bomb in August 1945, first in Hiroshima, and a second time in Nagasaki.
		The theory goes: because the Japanese on Okinawa, including native Okinawans, were so fierce in their defense (even when cut off, and without supplies), and because casualties were so appalling, many American strategists looked for an alternative means to subdue mainland Japan, other than a direct invasion.

		Not everyone in Japan agreed with this direction, of course, and the unrest that it provoked ultimately led to the downfall of the Tokugawa shogunate and the Meiji Restoration, in which the Emperor Meiji was "restored" to power.
		Japan's current emperor, Akihito, himself a scientist, describes how contacts with Europeans during the Meiji period transformed Japanese attitudes towards science, particularly medicine, which had been strongly influenced by China.
		After a period of debate among Japanese leaders, it was decided that the request was reasonable, and Japan and the United States signed the Treaty of Kanagawa.
