1. Introduction Japan has very significant characteristics in terms of their economic power

Japan is home to a lot of ancient cultural artifacts and yet serves as an example of the developed world samurais, high-speed trains, home to some of the world’s largest tech companies, and may evision Tokyo as a bustling fast paced city. Japan’s population is declining, this isn’t unusual in a time where developed countries are relying on less children.What is overlooked when describing the now 3rd largest economy on Earth is how it went from surrendering during WWII to becoming an industrial superpower. There have been many changes but one have remained constant, which is the collective drive to work and excel. It has heavily influenced the Japan we know today.

Besides changes in political, economic, and social changes, Japan's relations with its neighbors mainly changed after the Meiji Restoration. It has also been mentioned that “a variety of changes in Japanese society, economy, and politics, including the introduction of Western values of civilization and enlightenment, industrialization, abolition of feudalism and establishment of a centralized, constitutional government” (Imperialism). Japan's expansion was, similar to other changes taking place, the result of emulation of and conflict with the Western countries. Japan has had both positive and negative impacts from imperialism politically, culturally, and also economically with women, the lower classes, the educated, and also the businessmen. These aspects were the most “affected” by imperialism and its bringings. Like political rights, money, schools/education, and businesses and imperialism impacted these in both good and bad ways.

This portion of the book focuses on how the war was useful in making Japan an economic power. Dower begins by explaining that postwar Japan’s success can be

One way to build a better future is by forming a stable government. After Japan’s surrender from World War II in 1945, the allied forces helped rebuild Japan’s government. The emperor's status was downgraded to a figurehead and more power was placed in the hands of the parliamentary system. After the reconstruction of Japan, Japan became a major world power and one of the most successful countries. They also had the world’s second-largest economy by 1960, just 15 years after their surrender.

In 1952, the U.S. Occupation of Japan ended and by 1955 the Japanese economy had regained its highest prewar production levels. A stable political system was also established with the conservative and pro-American Liberal Democratic Party 's control of the government.

These changes began in 1868 and consisted of industrialization, urbanization, modernization. There was also a shift in power within Japan’s government during the restoration. The power shifted from being in local figures control back to the emperor’s control. These changes improved the Japanese military and the economy. (J., D. B. 2013)

In conclusion, when Japan joined WW2 in 1939, they would fight with a lot of countries to revive the trading with foreign countries. During World War2, Japan received financial, cultural, and political impact from World War 2, such as food regulation, cultural censorship, and so on. It also means that Japanese old life style was controlled by the government because citizens had to focus on the war, and their jobs were provided by the army, such as National mobilization. In addition, citizens were used for supporting army by the government, so they were conscripted soldier or munitions factory by the government to supplement Japanese resources by citizen’s workforce. Therefore, Japanese government was reformed by World War 2, and Japan could

After World War II japan was overcome with devastation. They suffered from a severe food shortage and destruction to their transportation networks. With the exception of Kyoto, all of Japans cities were nearly destroyed. Japan also faced a change in government. After the war Japans constitution was drafted and japan was no longer control by the Emperor, he no longer had political or military power to control Japan. The constitution brought positive change to the people, because it allowed them to speak freely, vote, and get an education. After drafting the Constitution Japan began to grow economically, so over all there were positive changes in Japan after WWII.(Word

In this paper, I will argue that those events had a huge impact on every sector of the Japanese state-development. Moreover, I will argue that the results of those events were mostly positive for the Asian state. My essay will be structured in the following way. Firstly, I will analyze the economic change, which occurred as a result of the

The early postwar period was a time in which Japan was occupied by Americans who had no interest in learning about Japan and treated Japan as a pupil of America. The Japanese market system was broken down and rebuilt. In the this process the zaibatsu was abolished and their market shares were made available on the open market. one of the largest changes to occur due to the occupation was that farmers became the owners of the land in which they tended to. the cold war encouraged America to speed up the recovery of Japans economy in preparation for war. The Korean war gave the Japanese economy the much need boost that it need with markets that ranged from textile to coal and paper going into full production and continued even after the war was

In the short article of “Yoseba and Ninpudashi” the main point is about how Japanese economy was facing struggle during the Great Heisei Recession. The author was focusing on two important institutions, the Yoseba and the Ninpudashi and how the casual labor market is important. During the 1990s American economy became over a dominant. The United State economy became the “model economy” that other countries would looked up to. In between 1970s to 1980s Japan economy was rising. During WWII Japan went through a struggle and they were rebuilding and recovery from war.

In September 1945, Japan had nearly 3 million war dead and the loss of a quarter of the national wealth. Post war Japanese economic take off was due to a variety of factors that had to do with American policies towards Japan, the international market, social mobilization, existent industrial capacities and experience, and government policies and expertise, among other things.

After World War II a large of Japans transportation systems and cities industries were extremely harmed (Japan-guide.com, N.D). In contrast with China, Japan did not participate in a civil war, however the effect of World War II killed 3 million individuals, cities destroyed from atomic bombs from the United States which left a large number of citizens homeless. Regardless of this, great transformation started. From 1945 and 1952 the United States and its ally’s forces, Great Britain, Republic of China and Soviet Union set out in the restoration of Japan. "'The US possessing powers, drove by General Douglas A. MacArthur, enacted widespread military, political, economic and social reforms” (HistoryState.gov, N.d).An economic, social and political

This year is the 150 years' anniversary for the Meiji Restoration and this was a big turning point for Japan in terms of industrialization and modernizing to be one of the great powers. I aim to explore how it led to the Meiji Restoration from closing country for over 200 years and how it effected in terms of process of economic development and militarization during 1868 to 1904 due to political change investing western cultures.
