Japan is the first non-Western country to have transformed
itself into a modern economic and (at least before 1945)
military superpower. The purpose of this course is to gain
an understanding of how Japan changed itself from a "closed
country" at the beginning of the 19th century, to an
empire-holding military giant by the late 1930s, to an
economic superpower from the ashes of World War II.
