Toyotomi Hideyoshi Research Paper

Japan had isolated themselves from China after they had persecuted Buddhists in the 9th century. This caused Japan to cut all cultural and trading ties with China. Khubilai wanted to invade Japan and reestablish a tributary relationship because he saw it as a way to gain respect among the Chinese, whom the Mongols were in the process of conquering. These motivations are less present in Khubilai Khan’s preparations for the second invasion. In 1279, the Mongols had conquered the Southern Sung, and had nearly the whole remainder of the Sung army, 100,000 troops, prepare to attack Japan. The Mongols seemed to care less about the wealth and did not need to convince the Chinese to respect them, since they had been

The two pronged attack that the generals planned failed because the Korean fleet sailed first without Chinese fleet. The Chinese fleet was delayed because of the larger numbers that required more logistical preparation for the invasion. The Eastern fleet without support were harassed by the Japanese, further lowering morale, of the Mongol invaders. The Japanese defenses held the Mongol invaders to little ground that was heatedly fought over for almost two months. Ultimately, the seasonal typhoon ripped apart the Mongol fleet forcing the fleet to once again limp back to mainland

Looking at the way immigrants view America and their experience in America allows us to see our country in a different light. They bring their own style and culture but they also pick some American traits so when these immigrants produce a piece of art it gives us an interesting insight into their country and ours. A perfect example of this is Toshiko Akiyoshi.Toshiko Akiyoshi is a Japanese immigrant and is someone who moved to another country and adopted a new way a life without losing her own identity and her music demonstrates this.

Hello everyone, I am Monique Murphy, and I am your tour guide for the latest Cultures of the Medieval World. Today we will be touring the Tokugawa Shogunate, which lasted for over 250 years bringing the first peaceful era to Japan.

Following World War II, the Korean Peninsula was dived into two parts, North Korea and South Korea. With permission from Russia and verbal support from China, North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950 (Appleman, 1961). With more numbers and better equipment, North Korea quickly took the South Korean capital, Seoul, and pushed the South Korean forces down to Pusan, the last major city on the south coast. The situation was desperate for the United Nations forces that had been sent to support the South Koreans. General MacArthur, commander of the United Nations forces, recognized that a surprising and decisive amphibious assault would be crucial to retaking the capital city and turning the war around. He did not initially receive much support for his plans due to the risk involved. The concern was that the forces would be spread too thin, the amphibious attack would fail, and there would not be enough forces left at Pusan to maintain the perimeter. MacArthur initially had to postpone his plans because he realized the validity of this assessment. However, he was readying an additional force in Japan and asked his staff to begin planning for an amphibious assault.

The Japanese third army landed on the eastern coast of Korea and then the fourth army landed at Gushan on the Manchurian coast. The Russian forces moved to Liaoyang and the Japanese defeated Russian force of 25,000 at Wafangdian on June 14, the Japanese began

The Mongols launched their fleet of 1,000 ships and landed in Hakata Bay in 1274 in what would be their first of two attempts to invade Japan. This would be known as the “Battle of Bun’ei” or as the “First Battle of Hakata Bay”. The Mongols would conquer the settlements on the islands of Tsushima and Iki while on route to Hakata Bay. However after landing at Hakata Bay the Mongols were pushed back by the Samurai as they were prepared and expected the invasion. Historians theorize that the Japanese were forewarned by Koryo Korea. The reasons as to why Koryo Korea would give the Japanese this knowledge is because they were tired of being under the Mongol rule and because Japan had shown good will to Koryo Korea by suppressing Japanese Piracy along the coastline of Korea. The advanced warning allowed for Japan to gauge the incoming Mongol forces as they ravaged the islands of Tsushima and Iki. The initial landing success of the Mongols can be attributed to their superior weapons, tactics, and fighting experience. However, as time wore on the numbers began to favor the Japanese and they were able to repel the Mongols back towards their ships. As a severe storm approached Hakata Bay the Mongols decided to board their ships once again to avoid being isolated on Japanese soil. The severe storm system was a typhoon and by the morning a large portion of the ships and one
