Description

Explore the dramatic history of Japan's rise and fall through this detailed study by Cambridge University Press. This book examines the Japanese experience of war from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. It tracks the nation's path as it modernized and became the only non-European great power of its era. Readers will follow the strategic decisions that led Japan to victory in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-5) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-5). The narrative covers the era of expansion and the eventual overextension during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1931-45), which led to the massive scale of World War II. This work provides a deep look at how leaders sought to contain Russia and manage an empire on the Asian mainland. It analyzes how incomplete institution building influenced the nation's trajectory from the Meiji Restoration through the Pacific War. This is an essential resource for anyone interested in military history and the evolution of global powers.
