	Lever of Empire
		This book, the first full account of Japan's financial history and the Japanese gold standard in the pivotal years before World War II, provides a new perspective on the global political dynamics of the era by placing Japan, rather than Europe, at the center of the story.
		His search for answers stretches from Edo to London to the ragged borderlands of the Japanese empire and from the eighteenth century to the 1950s, integrating political and monetary analysis to shed light on the complex dynamics of money, empire, and global hegemony.
		His detailed and broad ranging account illuminates a range of issues including Japan's involvement in the economic dynamics that shook interwar Europe, the character of U.S. isolationism, and the rise of fascism as an international phenomenon.

		The Japanese people's concern towards religion is mostly related to mythology, traditions, and neighborhood activities rather than the source of morality or the guideline for one's life, for which sometimes Confucianism, or even Taoism, tends to serve as the basis for the moral code.
		The Japanese language is an agglutinative language distinguished by a system of honorifics reflecting the hierarchical nature of Japanese society, with verb forms and particular vocabulary which indicate the relative status of speaker and listener.

	AAS Abstracts: Japan Session 147 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		From economic to strategic to social imperialism, from the notion of "informal empire" to the most recent debate surrounding "cultural imperialism," historians continue to probe the causes of European expansion and domination in the l9th and 20th centuries as central to the history of national development and international conflict that defines the modern age.
		While rarely a party to this debate, Japanese historians have long sustained a discussion of their own on Japanese imperialism that has stressed the internally generated semi feudal and material origins of expansion.
		Japan's pursuit of empire was neither a "logical" nor instinctive response to external events but a conscious tailoring of circumstances for geopolitical and political aims that required an active and sustained commitment by Tokyo's empire builders.

	BBC - History - Japan's Quest for Empire 1931 - 1945
		When the Japanese Kwantung Army (also known as the Guandong Army) contrived to invade Manchuria on 18 September 1931, it unleashed military and political forces which led ultimately to the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941.
		This was in reaction to the findings of the Lytton Commission, which had upheld China's appeal against Japanese aggression, thus leaving Japan effectively isolated in the world.
		By this time, however, the Japanese had successfully detached Manchuria from the rest of China, creating the puppet state of Manchukuo under the deposed Qing emperor Pu Yi.

	Book: Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire - UsingEnglish.com
		Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire is an impeccably written analysis of the last months of the Pacific War and the unfolding of the American air campaign over Japan.
		Frank concludes that the emperor and the Japanese military were far from ready to surrender, and that the decision to use the atom bomb probably saved millions of lives, not only Allied but Japanese and other Asian lives, also--perhaps a hundred thousand Chinese were dying each month under Japanese occupation.
		The effects of the bomb worked on many levels, even lending faces to the Japanese militarists, who could convince themselves that they were defeated not by a lack of spiritual power but by superior science.

		Frank concludes that the emperor and the Japanese military were far from ready to surrender, and that the decision to use the atom bomb probably saved millions of lives, not only Allied but Japanese and other Asian lives, also--perhaps a hundred thousand Chinese were dying each month under Japanese occupation.
		The premise behind this excellent history of the concluding stages of WWII in the Pacific is that the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki has cast a light so bright that it has blinded historians to many of the political, diplomatic and military realities that existed before August 6, 1945.
		Though they knew the war was lost, Japanese military strategists believed their preparations were sufficient to compel the Allies to offer more generous terms on which the war might end.

	Korean Connections to the Japanese Empire?
		I should mention that this kind of speculation is not welcomed by many Japanese people, who naturally accept the fact that the Japanese people and their Emperors have descended in an unbroken line, at least back to the turn of the millenium, if not back to the Sun Goddess at the beginnings of Time.
		My background is in Japanese culture and language; I've lived in Japan for four years and have a great appreciation for their traditions and history.
		Yamato was part of the heartland of the Japanese Imperial dynasty, just east of Naniha, but (at least by the time of the writing of the chronicles) was also used as the name for the empire ruled by the Japanese emperors.

	Japan's Bridge to China: The Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902 - All Empires
		Important indemnities and trade concessions had come of these events, as had recognition of Japanese interests in "Corea." Japan was looked upon as distant and exotic, and not as a great power, but her six modern battleships, engineered, built and armed in British yards, constituted the strongest fleet in the Far East in 1901.
		Negotiated in the autumn of 1901 and finalized early in 1902, Great Britain made her first formal military alliance with the Japanese Empire; an alliance that was not fateful for the future of Britain, but for the future of East Asia.
		The Japanese army and navy were in favor because of the backing of a powerful ally in case Japan were attacked by Russia.

	All Empires History Forum: Legacy of Japanese colonial rule in Korea and Taiwan (Site not responding. Last check: )
		First, the Japanese colonial rule over Korea was much more ruthless and complete than that over Taiwan, thanks to Korea's greater strategic importance to Japan (because of its proximity and its much larger population).
		If you ask today's Taiwanese their opinion on Japanese colonial rule, you would most probably get some very unfavorable response from those who are either descendants of or themselves immigrants from Mainland China who came to Taiwan after the Communist takeover of the Mainland.
		Those who tend to view the Japanese colonization more favorably - much more favorably - are the NATIVE Taiwanese who were themselves victims of the very brutal and dictatorial regime of Chiang kei-shek that fled to Taiwan after the Communist takeover.

		He also convincingly argues that Japanese narcotics policies are primarily concerned with the acquisition of revenue and the creation of economically self-sufficient colonies.
