Causes And Effects Of The Japanese War

Transformations in China and Japan In both the cases of the Qing Dynasty of China and the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan, their rule prospered until the centuries old dynastic systems were overthrown in both countries. In their own ways the Qing and Tokugawa shared similarities yet also displayed many differences in how they were overthrown, their impacts, and the forces that overall led to the change at the end of these systems. Their influential powers from the 1600s to the early 19th century brought great change to their countries that were seen well at first, but the people were not happy with either complete outcome, overall leading to the definite ends of the two powers despite their differences throughout.

On December 7th, 1941, Japan used the paralysis of peace of the U.S to make them successfully attack Pearl Harbor; after that it was a turning point of World War II. Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor symbolized and marked the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan 's attack on Pearl Harbor, while implementation of the "south", to launch a comprehensive attack on the South-East Asia, defeated the United States, Britain, the Netherlands East Indies in the Far East more than 300,000 troops, have occupied Thailand, Malaya, Burma, the Philippines, the Netherlands East India, some islands of Hong Kong and the Western Pacific, seized 3.86 million square kilometers of land, control of the 150 million population and wealth of strategic resources in the region, Asia-Pacific battlefield in full swing.

Japan witnessed China experience with the military power iof Western nations and after the arrival of an American delegation in 1853, Japan is also forced to open its ports. Japan was able to adapt quickly and match the power of the West and establish itself as a competitor for colonial rights in Asia. Japan then challenges and defeats China in a war over influence in Korea.

In the 1900’s Russia was a world superpower. But the only port, Port Vladivostok, was only accessible in the summer seasons of Russia. But Japan’s fort, Fort Arthur, was open all year long. Russia, who looking to expand out farther, asked Japan if they could use Fort Arthur for their Navy, and maritime trades. Russia even went as far as to set up a neutral buffer zone in North Korea on the 39th parallel to negotiate. Japan however misunderstood this and took it as a threat, bombing their own fort, and starting the first great war of the 20th century.

The real beginning of the tension between America and Japan began during WWI. In 1915, Japan issued “Twenty-One demands” to China’s government. These demands included giving Japan control over Chinese ports, increasing Japan’s leasehold on the South Manchuria Railway Zone for 99 years, handing over rights to settle and commercialize Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, give control of the Hanyeping mining complex to Japan, barring China to give any coastal or territorial concessions to foreign powers, excluding Japan.

The Romanov Dynasty held the Russian Empire as one of the most powerful European states for over three centuries. In 1917, during Nicholas II’s opposed reign, a revolution began that transformed the empire into the first ever communist nation, replacing the infamous autocratic rule and introducing the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic. It was a combination of factors which lead to the eventual fall of the Romanovs. Tsar Nicholas came to the throne during an arduous time in Russian history and his inability to rule effectively was a significant factor contributing to the end of the Romanov Dynasty. The Russo – Japanese war in 1905, and the Great War in 1914, also had profound impacts on Russian society, and were key factors contributing to

The entry of Japan into World War was accompanied by a shifting relationship between England and Australia. Up until the fall of Singapore on the 15th of February 1942, England enjoyed the unconditional support of Australia in fighting the war in Europe. The fall of Singapore and Britain’s subsequent surrender in the region brought the war closer than ever to Australia. This new perspective on the war resulted in a reconsideration of Australia’s position in the commonwealth and forged a new relationship with America. In order to understand these changing perspectives, it is essential to look at Australia’s relationship with England pre-World War 2, why Australia looked to America, how America responded to Australia’s appeal for support and subsequent changes to Australia’s foreign policy.

On December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor is located near Honolulu, Hawaii. The attack on Pearl Harbor is also known as the Battle of Pearl Harbor. The Japanese unleashed this as a surprise. They were trying to convince the US to stand down from the war, but that just made the US angry. This battle was the historical event that brought the United States into World War II.

Hundreds of Japanese fighter planes destroyed nearly 20 American naval vessels, 8 battleships, and over 300 airplanes. Over 2,400 Americans died in this attack and 1,000 people were wounded. This made the dislike of each other (Japan and the U.S) worsen. This caused the United States to making an embargo on shipping materials to Japan. Though japan continued to consult with the U.S up to the day of the pearl harbor attack, the government Prime minister Tojo Hideki decided on war.

From the beginning of the 1900s tension had grown between the Soviet Union and Japan after the Russo-Japanese War. In 1904, the Soviet Union’s empire and Japan’s empire collided in their own individual efforts take Manchuria, which is a part of China, and Korea(Young). Japan tried to talk the Soviet Union into letting them take over Korea, so the Soviet Union could go capture Manchuria. But the Soviet Union also wanted the northern part of Korea, so the Japanese government declared war against the Soviet Union.

The start of the Russo-Japanese was made in January 1904. Previously, Japan had broken off diplomatic relations with Russia on February 6, 1904, following with the attack on Port Arthur February 8 and declaring war on Russia February 10. Over the span of a month, Korea was occupied by soldiers, advancing into the Manchurian territory and the Liaodong Peninsula occupied by naval forces. An August siege of Port Arthur followed the attack and fell in January 1905. Gradually, both powers found difficulty to continue fighting. The war ended with Theodore Roosevelt mediation; Japan had won which ensued the Portsmouth Treaty to grant Japan back it's sovereignty in China and Manchuria, along with special access to the Liaodong Peninsula. What were the underlying causes of the Russo-Japanese War? To what extent did nationalism/imperialism contribute to the war? What did the government do to contribute to the war? Japan's motives for the war stemmed from tension made between Russia; the Triple Intervention and the construction of the Trans-Siberian railroad. Imperialist and nationalistic motives drove Japan to change its leader of power and created a blanket of astigmatism throughout Japan's people, using authoritative and irrational actions, taking away human rights and installing many ideas.

The result of the war against the Japanese was a huge blow for the Russians who lost almost the whole Baltic and Pacific fleet.

Military Affairs. Russia was not involved in too many wars during this time period, the only major one being the Russo-Japanese War. This was a war between Japan and Russia for imperial rights over Korea within the Asian Peninsula. Russia wanted Korea so that they would have a port on the Pacific Ocean, for both trade and military reasons. This made the war at hand very important, as securing Korea could not only give them a port on the Pacific but also give them more land to expand their country into. Throughout the late 1800’s, the amount of imperialistic territory that a country had still played a large factor

The First World War became the Tsars worst nightmare. Russia joined the war in many ways to keep peoples minds of Russia’s backwardness and badly run government, and onto the war effort itself. But within the first year of the war people’s minds began to wander away from troop moral and toward the Tsar and his control.
