Imperial China. Germany–Japan relations. Re-constructed in the 1990s, the Japanese embassy in Berlin's Hiroshima Street was originally built from 1938 to 1942, and thus is a symbol for German–Japanese relations since that time.
Embassy of Germany in Japan The Germany–Japan relations (Japanese: 日独関係, Hepburn: Nichidokukankei?) And German: Deutsch-japanische Beziehungen) were established in 1860 with the first ambassadorial visit to Japan from Prussia (which predated the formation of the German Empire in 1871). Japan modernized rapidly after the Meiji Restoration of 1867, often using German models through intense intellectual and cultural exchange. After 1900 Japan aligned itself with Britain, and Germany and Japan were enemies in World War I. In the 1930s, both countries adopted aggressive militaristic attitudes toward their respective regions. The Nan-yô Gunto Special Prefecture Japan Alternate History.

Introduction to the War in the Pacific After Pearl Harbor the Japanese quickly gained control over a huge area of the Pacific, from the Phillipines to Burma to the Aleutians to the Solomons.
While the Japanese enjoyed the advantage of interior lines of communication, they had somewhat overextended themselves. Once the Allies became strong enough to threaten their perimeter from several directions, the advantage would be lost, since Japan did not have and could not produce enough planes and ships to defend in force at all points. Puppet state. A puppet state is a metaphor of a state that is supposedly independent but is in fact dependent upon an outside power,[1] it is nominally sovereign but effectively controlled by a foreign or otherwise alien power, for reasons such as financial interests, in fact anything but the common good.[2] A puppet state preserves the external paraphernalia of independence like a name, flag, anthem, constitution, law codes and motto but in reality is an organ of another state which created or sponsored the government.[3] Puppet states are not recognised as legitimate under international law.[4]

Ms Setsuko Thurlow and Ms. The Russo Japanese War. The Russo-Japanese War was a disaster for Russia in many senses – not just military.
The Russo-Japanese War showed up Russia as it was – as a nation living on past glories and blind to the chronic problems that were developing in agriculture and industry. The concept of diverting your people’s attention away from difficult domestic issues with a successful war is nothing new. In Russia, such a war was to have the opposite effect – the war against Japan was meant to rally the people around the Tsar in a display of patriotic fervour.
Ultimately, it was to create a divide betweenNicholas and his people. First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) The First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) was Japan's first overseas war after she came out of isolation in the 1860s, and saw the rapidly modernised Japanese armed forces inflict an embarrassing defeat on less successfully modernised Chinese forces.
Most of the fighting took place in Korea and Manchuria, although the Japanese also invaded Shantung province and several islands, and there were important battles at sea. For many years Korea had been just as closed to outsiders as Japan, apart from her relationship with the Chinese Empire, where Korea was regarded as a subordinate kingdom. Are China, Japan and South Korea fanning the flames of war? But it backfired badly.
China was furious, seeing the islands’ acquisition by the government as a provocation. On November 23 2013 China set up an Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) that included the islands, which required all aircraft entering the zone to enter a flight plan and to submit radio information – a clear assertion of sovereignty over the islands. To make matters worse, the ADIZ also included a rock claimed by South Korea. Japan and its US ally were deeply concerned, and reacted strongly. Are China, Japan and South Korea fanning the flames of war? Pearl Harbor. Shortly before 8am on Sunday 7 December 1941, the first of two waves of Japanese aircraft launched a devastating attack on the US Pacific Fleet, moored at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
The raid, which came with no warning and no declaration of war, destroyed four battleships and damaged four more in just two hours. It also destroyed 188 US aircraft. While 100 Japanese perished in the attack, more than 2,400 Americans were killed, with another 1,200 injured. 20th CENTURY: Korea as a Colony of Japan, 1910-1945.
Japanese Colonial Rule (1910-1945) Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945) was a deeply ambivalent experience for Koreans. On the one hand, Japanese colonialism was often quite harsh. For the first ten years Japan ruled directly through the military, and any Korean dissent was ruthlessly crushed. After a nationwide protest against Japanese colonialism that began on March 1, 1919, Japanese rule relaxed somewhat, allowing a limited degree of freedom of expression for Koreans. Ask a Korean!: Korea vs Japan, the Military Showdown. Dear Korean, I was arguing with my friend about who had more military strength, Korea or Japan.
My friend argued that Japan had a large navy and strong air force and volunteers for their ground forces. I know that Korea must have a larger land force than Japan since it drafts people, but are they trained well? How are they equipped? Also, what are some notable ships or airplanes that are in Korea's navy and air force? John This is an interesting question, but the Korean also knows that this post is bound to attract a certain breed of idiots commonly found on the Internet. S. Koreans say Japan worse threat than China as attitudes ‘worsen sharply’ Fifty-two percent of Japanese people dislike South Korea, while 78 percent of Koreans feel the same way about Japan, with 4 in 10 Koreans believing the countries will go to war in the next few years, according to an authoritative survey.
