HIST 291D - P3 Japan in the World,1800-2000

Institution:

Saint John Fisher University

Subject:

Description:

An exploration of modern Japanese history in its global context. We examine Japan's rapid emergence on the world stage as a nation-state, its self-destruction in 15 years of aggressive war, and its resurgence as a world economic power in the postwar years. Japan occupies a unique place in world history as the first non-Western country to rival Europe and the United States both militarily and economically. Its modern history thus remains the site of complex issues for many Japanese pondering their place in the world as well as for students of comparative modernization.
