H1048: History of Imperial Japan in Splash Spring 2020 (Mar. 22, 2020)
Many people have a hazy grasp of three eras in Japanese history: medieval feudalism, WW2, and its modern high-tech state. But how did it get from A to B to C, and how does its history still matter today? This class covers Japan’s history from the mid-1800s to the present, from its imperial conquests to its defeat to its postwar rebuilding. (Note: this class contains discussions of war atrocities, racial hatred, and similar themes.)
