He enjoyed large amounts of influence, and he could into controllings and rapings the Korea, Manchuria, and Taiwan. He was one of the most powerful and influential non-European empires and hated the Westerners.

歴史 (History)

明治時代 (Meiji Period)

Further Information: Meijism

The Tokugawa was killed by the Empire of Japan in the Boshin War in 1869.

On April 6, 1868, Emperor Meiji took the imperial oath, announcing thorough reforms, announcing sweeping reforms such as moving the capital from Kyoto to Tokyo, abolishing feudal systems such as Han (藩) system, and opening up to other countries. This marked the beginning of Japan's modernization.

However, modernization had social consequences, political parties and groups began to emerge, making more social tensions. As a result of the actions, the Meiji Constitution was established in 1889, which invokes a parliament composed of the House of Aristocracy (Kizoku-in) and the House of Representatives (Shūgi-in), which parliament was functioning a year later, military designations, martial law and the right of pardon. The Meiji constitution also defined the official name of the Japanese state called Dai-Nippon Teikoku.

In 1875, Japan imposed an unequal treaty on Korea after sensing the opportunity to do so when America left the region. Three Korean ports were opened to trade, and Japanese citizens won extra territoriality, and Korea was declared independent from Chinese hegemony. Western powers swooped in to claim their own treaties on Korea as well. Japan helped Korea to modernize, but this cozying up to Japan made China unhappy. In 1882, the Imo Incident happened where Korean soldiers revolted against their Japanese military advisors and also their Japan-loving Korean overlords. Japan and China both sent troops to put down the rebellion but soon China realigned Korea with himself, forcing Japan to lower his military presence.

In 1884 pro-Japan Koreans tried to coup but failed, so they fled to Japan. Japan somehow used this as an excuse and sent troops onto the Korean Peninsula. China was distracted by war with Frenchie so Japan was able to pressure him into singing Tientsin Agreement in 1885, which stated that neither Jap or Sino could have major military presence in Korea. If one side wants to reintroduce soldiers, they would have to inform the other.

By 1894, Japan has successfully negotiated reforms in regards to the unequal treaties imposed on him by the West, meaning that Jap now has enough money for proper military commitments in Korea. In June, a rebellion against Korea's government happened, so at Korea's request China sent 2000 troops without informing Japan, hoping to put down the rebellion before Japan noticed. But oh did Japan notice, which enraged him and he sent 8000 troops to crush the rebellion. Japan is now in full occupation of Korea, and Korea asked him to leave. But instead of leaving, Japan established a puppet regime and demanded that Chinese forces withdraw. China refused to recognize the new government, and tensions exploded into the First Sino-Japanese War, which the Chinese lost severely due to their weak navy. The Japanese committed atrocities towards the Koreans and Chinese with huge massacres.

On April 17, 1895, the Qing Dynasty signed the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki with Japan for losing the Sino-Japanese War. This treaty was far harsher than the treaties imposed by Western powers, and it made China to pay up all the expenses Japan spend during the war. China ceded Taiwan, Penghu, and Liaodong, paid 200 million taels indemnity, and opened treaty ports. This treaty accelerated imperialist partitioning of China. However, Russia, Germany and France advised Japan do renounce Liaodong on April 23, and Japan, anxious to keep his goodwill, did so by treaty on 8 November, but not before he had extorted 30 million taels of silver. The Japanese public was outraged at this handover.

第二次世界大戦 (World War II)

Further Information: Japan in World War II

Japan wanted to conquer China. In 1931, he set up a fake railway incident as an excuse to invade and conquer Manchuria, which was under the Fengtian Clique. The invasion was successful and the puppet state of Manchukuo was set up, integrated into the Japanese Empire and starting a trade circle between Manchukuo, Korea and Japan, making Japan have great economy.

But just Manchuria was not enough. On July 7, 1937, Japan launched a full on invasion of China, starting the Second Sino-Japanese War. Japan was successful at first, getting hold of many Chinese clay and massacred everywhere they go, from Shanghai to Nanking. The notorious Rape of Nanking was a mass killing and raping of Chinese civilians by the Japanese from 1937 to 1938. Many Japanese still deny it ever happened to this day.

But the war in China soon reached stalemate, with fewer advancements than Japan had hoped. In order to get enough resources to keep invading China, Japan launched an invasion of Southeast Asia in the early 1940s. Japan first invaded French Indochina (under de-jure Vichy France control) in September 1940.

Japan's actual attack on the United States started with the surprise Attack of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Shortly afterwards America declared war on Japan, and this was considered Japan's grave mistake.

The US quickly responded and began to rapidly take all the ocean territory that Japan had conquered during the WWII. But Japan still would not surrender, and was planning to unleash biological warfare on American soil. So in August 1945 USA dropped two nuclear bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This finally got Japan to surrender unconditionally.
