Japan

On November 10th we will begin a unit on the history of Japan. Their history and our history are intertwined in many ways. Japan and our dealings with them is one of the best historical examples of cause and effect I can think of. Our actions in Japan eventually led to World War II. This unit will last for 2 weeks and will cover their beginings, imperialism, Admiral Perry, industrialization, geography, and interaction with the U.S.
