About Japan?

Tokyo is the capital and the largest city of Japan, Osaka and Nagoya are some of the other major cities.

Japan’s history goes back to as far as 1st century AD but it wasn’t until between the 4th and 9th centuries when Japan was united under one Emperor. However, starting in the 12th century Japan was divided and ruled by various rulers namely military dictators or shogun, feudal lord or daimyo, and warrior nobility known as samurai. Japan was involved in a century-long civil war and in 1603 it was once again united under the Tokugawa Shogunate.

After that, for a long period of time Japan kept itself isolated from the outside world but from 1854 to 1868 the United States forced Japan to open trade to the West. Japan was heavily involved in the Second World War as a major axis power. But after two atomic bombings, Japan surrenders in 1945.

Modern-day Japan is one of the great powers in the world. They saw major economic growth after World War 2 became one of the most developed countries in the world. Japan made significant contributions to science and technology and a global leader in the automotive and electronics industries. Japan is also known for its art, music, cuisine, and many popular cultures like animation and video game industry.
