Japan’s economic development had been shaped in various ways, including Japanese internal forces, and external forces from other countries. Although during the Tokugawa era, the Japanese were very closed off from the world for 250 years, once Commodore Perry and the rest of America threatened Japan with war Japan was forced to open ports for trade. Due to the Japanese lack of weapons the trading environment was very biased on the side of America with unequal trade. The shogun was once a Samurai and is now almost in control of Japan.
Massive Retaliation is the threat of using nuclear weapons against the Soviets if they tried to seize a country not occupied by them and/or tried to expand there country by force. While Brinkmanship was the threat of using nuclear weapons to get an opposing country to back down/consed, Eisenhower used these effectively in the Korean war but there were saw as too dangerous. He used these to easily dispose of the Korean threat by threatening the use of nukes, and all the while, kept communism from spreading into Korea.

They lived under the period of neglect where they can establish a self-sufficient society and developed a unique economic based on the region under the British government. Hoping to form a friendly relationship with the colonies, the Parliament avoid any strict enforcement keep American colonies in North American obedient to England. During the war, the American fought along with the British and the Iroquois against the French and their Native allies. They fought for the power to control the Ohio River Valley, Canada.
During the time of 1941 the Japanese economy began to bloom exponentially in the industrial and militarily fields. Japan’s growth occurred due to the trade provided to the country due to its low resources. Acquiring Oil and Metals it allowed the Country to become a contender in their cause against the Allies. However, during this period Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) had his own interests and goals of the war time.
After trade was cut off with Japan, it was thought that it would stop Japan’s expansion, and everything would return to normal. The opposite happened. The trade being cut off led Japan to hold their ground,
Japan had been growing economically for many years, they accomplished
The Korean War began in the early hours of June 25, 1950. The North Korean troops carried out their surprise attack on South Korea without any declaration of war. The North and South had experienced some clashes along the 38th parallel before, where North and South Korea had been divided. However, they never had such an unexpected attack in the Southern Camp. They were completely unprepared and weren’t properly equipped for such a sudden event.
Japan’s total control over Korea took many turns as numerous parts of the country quickly became ‘Japanized.’ Before the annexation, the Korean State did not have accurate information on farming land, having no idea if it was being farmed or being owned by someone. As the Japanese came and created new guidelines, situations changed for both landlords and tenant farmers. Produced crops were bought by the Japanese and Korean peasants did not earn any wages. The Japanese also established policies that controlled the properties, productions, and even people.
Japan expanding its territory gives them more power to take over. During the time of WWII Japan becomes eager to become powerful and solve their economic and demographic problems. During 1941 “the Soviets on the track of defeat by the Axis powers,” Japan feels they are able to seize oil from Southeast Asia. Japan, forced to disengage from China, they became mad and power hungry. In addition to the United States forcing Japan to retreat from China, the U.S will also create trade
By the nineteen twenties and thirties, Japan had become a strong country and their economy began to grow and develop rapidly. However, it lacked natural resources such as rubber, oil, coal, and petroleum. For this
Graham Rasy Mr. Kramek History Period 5 6/2/23 American Economy During the Cold War “But the biggest thing that has happened in the world in my life, in our lives, is this: By the grace of God, America won the Cold War '' (President George H.W. Bush). The United States was deemed to have won the cold war but it came at a big risk. With the fear of communism at hand, the U.S. created new policies to strengthen the government and improve the economy. However, throughout the Cold War, the American economy suffered greatly from many economic problems.
The cold war characterized in many aspects. Here I conclude it with several key words. Firstly, political conflicts and military tension between US ans USSR. Secondly, the Marshall plan which was seen by Russia as USA using economic aid to buy itself an empire or 'sphere of influence '. Also, Nuclear fear also was the characteristic of cold war, everyone at that time was fear of the nuclear war that was seemed to happen, especially at the time of Cuba missile crisis.
On July 16, 1945, a massive fireball erupted over the desert of northern New Mexico. Not long after, on August 6, and again on August 15, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending World War Two (WWII) and presumably changing the face of war forever. The destructive power of atomic weapons stunned the world and ushered in a new era of defense strategy based on an entirely new paradigm. That paradigm depended on numerous assumptions about the nature of war and conflict in the new nuclear age. After WWI, prevailing assumptions about the viability of nuclear deterrence, the possibility of limited warfare, and the nature of communist expansion, defined US defense policy.
The social outcome for Japan is they had a crucial decrease in birth rate which positively maintained their population. They also dealt with a population shift from the countryside to urban areas. The political outcome of the war is that their armed forces, empire, state organization called “Shinto”, and nationalist organizations were all shut down. Japan’s defense industries were closed down. Lastly, Japan faced an economic shortage because the remaining factories and railroads were no longer able to be used from the bombings of the war.
Nobody was ecstatic with the outbreak of the World War I, but it is a great chance for American to consolidate their international status by improve themselves on different fields. The most significant one is economy.
