World War II remains the most important event in 20th-century Japanese history, in terms both of how the Japanese view themselves and their place in the world and of how the rest of the world views Japan. This course examines the political, economic, military, and ideological issues that led to the war, the way in which the war was fought, and the events of the American Occupation that led to Japan's postwar political and economic recovery.
