BACKGROUND
In 1603, after decades of civil warfare, the Tokugawa shogunate (a military-led, dynastic
government) ushered in a long period of relative political stability and isolation from
foreign influence. For more than two centuries this policy enabled Japan to enjoy a
flowering of its indigenous culture. Japan opened its ports after signing the Treaty of
Kanagawa with the US in 1854 and began to intensively modernize and industrialize.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan became a regional power that was
able to defeat the forces of both China and Russia. It occupied Korea, Formosa (Taiwan),
and southern Sakhalin Island. In 1931-32 Japan occupied Manchuria, and in 1937 it
launched a full-scale invasion of China. Japan attacked US forces in 1941 - triggering
America's entry into World War II - and soon occupied much of East and Southeast Asia.
After its defeat in World War II, Japan recovered to become an economic power and an
ally of the US. While the emperor retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, elected
politicians hold actual decision-making power. Following three decades of unprecedented
growth, Japan's economy experienced a major slowdown starting in the 1990, but the
country remains a major economic power. In March 2011, Japan's strongest-ever
earthquake, and an accompanying tsunami, devastated the northeast part of Honshu
island, killing thousands and damaging several nuclear power plants. The catastrophe
hobbled the country's economy and its energy infrastructure, and tested its ability to deal
with humanitarian disasters.
