Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite
This course concerns modern Japan from the Meiji Restoration of 1867-1868, its relations with Europe, the Americas, and its East Asian neighbors on its tumultuous path to the Second World War, as well as its postwar efforts towards reconstruction and resurgence. It examines the historical underpinnings of Japan as we see it today-economy, society, culture, politics, its successes and failures. In a mere 150 years, Japan transformed itself from a feudal, decentralized regime into a highly centralized, internationally respected capitalist government and economy. We evaluate that history as reflected in society, the economy, cultural, politics, and international relations. Course credit exclusion: AP/HIST 3760 6.00.
