Reference no: EM133311917

Assignment:

Answer the following three questions.

1. How did the Meiji reformers in Japan set about creating a new Western-style nation state? What models did they choose from the West for different institutions and why?

2. Many people say Hirohito was not directly responsible for the war. Actually the opinion of Hirohito's innocence is not only accepted within Japan, but is extended beyond its shores. How accurate is this judgment? To answer, be sure to provide enough evidence. Why did the International Military Tribunal for the Far East did not punish him as a war criminal?

3. Japan had drained its resources during the war. It also suffered from the first and only atomic attack, massive American bombings, and major starvation of its people. Then, in the following decades, Japan experienced what becoming known as the Japanese "economic miracle" and became one of the world's leading economic powers. How can one account for this development? And why did it slow down and then almost stop?
