by Shang Zhaoqi
About This Novel
This book tells the history of Japan's expansion and destruction in modern times, starting from 1895 to 1945. Starting from four clues - internal affairs, diplomacy, war, and historical figures - it reveals the dual historical processes of external expansion and self-destruction, overt and covert, moving forward side by side, and interacting. What is the ideological logic that supports Japan's foreign expansion? What are the institutional roots of self-destruction? What roles did the emperor, politicians, bureaucrats, and the people play? How did the world situation unfold from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century? This book aims to reveal the changing trajectory of the formation, development and collapse of the Japanese Empire, analyze the particularities and logical connections behind many historical phenomena, and let the facts speak for themselves.
