Besides human experimentation, they developed lethal biological weapons as an efficient way to win the war against the world. In about a decade of existence, they produced a massive amount of germs enough to kill the world three times.

Представляем аудиоверсию наиболее авторитетного трактата, посвященного бусидо - "Пути воина". Бусидо - изначально трактовавшееся как "национальный, особенно военный дух Японии", в последствии в древней Японии стало обозначать свод правил, регламентирующих поведение и повседневную жизнь самураев.

After the shock and devastation of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the Americans were determined to take their revenge on the Empire of Japan. The Japanese were just as determined to become the dominant power in the Pacific, a goal they were well on their way to achieving as they occupied China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaya, Burma, Northern Borneo, the Dutch East Indies, and the Philippines.

Nitobe Inazo (1862 - 1933) was a Japanese agricultural economist, author, educator, diplomat, and politician. His book Bushido: The Soul of Japan explains Samurai culture to a Western audience. First published in English in 1900, Bushido takes a look at the virtues associated with the warrior’s way, such as rectitude, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, loyalty, and self-control.

Japón es uno de los países que más se adaptan en el mundo. Puede hacer un cambio muy rápido, aun después de crisis que detendrían el progreso de otras naciones. Cuando los shogunatos colapsaron en el siglo XVII, el sistema feudal se desintegró. Sin embargo, en menos de un año, los ferrocarriles reemplazaron a los carros de bueyes. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, surgió una economía de primer nivel en tierras de cultivo desiertas.

“It’s hell out there” was how one Marine described the assault on Tarawa, the US Navy’s first amphibious landing in World War II’s arduous Pacific campaign to bring the Empire of Japan to its knees. In 76 hours of fighting, the Marines lost nearly as many men as had died during the six months of the Guadalcanal campaign. Military intelligence had failed to take into account the reefs around Betio, the target of the assault, or the low tides which prevented transport vehicles from bringing the Marines safely to shore.

The man known to most of the world as Emperor Hirohito ruled during some of the most tumultuous years in Japanese history. When he came to the throne in 1926, he inherited control of a country which had only recently emerged as a major industrial and world power. Through the aggressive expansion and wars of the 1930s, Hirohito was at the head of one of the world’s foremost powers. Throughout the maelstrom of World War II, he remained in power, a distant and, to most outsiders, inscrutable factor in the rise of the Japanese Empire.

The Imperial Japanese Military had invaded Shanghai on August 13, 1937, rapidly reducing the once-prosperous city to a pile of burning rubble after three months of brutal urban combat. Countless blazing fires raged throughout the city, some of which had been caused by the fighting, but most had been set by the retreating Chinese Army in a futile effort to stall the Japanese invaders.

Dans un merveilleux équilibre entre le récit personnel, l'érudition, l'acuité psychologique et l'art du conteur, Nicolas Bouvier raconte le Japon à travers la lanterne magique de l'histoire. On traverse les siècles et les campagnes japonaises à un rythme très zen, on s'arrête sur les détails au gré des envies. Brasser toute l'histoire du Japon depuis sa création, sa genèse aussi céleste et lunaire qu'une terre dissimulée derrière huit épaisseurs de nuées blanches, comme pour échapper encore à nos regards, est un pari un peu fou.

Near the end of World War II, in an attempt to attack the United States mainland, Japan launched its fu-go campaign, deploying thousands of high-altitude hydrogen balloons armed with incendiary and high-explosive bombs designed to follow the westerly winds of the upper atmosphere and drift to the west coast of North America. After reaching the mainland, these fu-go, the Japanese hoped, would terrorize American citizens and ignite devastating forest fires across the western states, ultimately causing the United States to divert wartime resources to deal with the domestic crisis.

The Battle of Okinawa was the deadliest campaign of the Pacific during World War II. The Americans had come back from the demoralizing defeat at Pearl Harbor to mount a ferocious attack against the Japanese. To be able to invade Japan, the Americans had to take Okinawa. But the Japanese, determined to defend their homeland and preserve their way of life, would fight to the death against the invaders. As the Army and Marines fought bloody battles to gain Okinawa inch by inch, the Navy was subjected to kamikaze attacks.

«Marco Polo fue el primero en mencionar en sus escritos el territorio japonés de Asia Oriental alrededor del año 1300.
