Why did the Japanese choose war? After the war, what did they lose and what did they gain? Japan's Showa era was full of radical changes. The country moved step by step towards a wartime system before the war, established a national mobilization system during the war, suffered from hunger and poverty in the early postwar period, and then ushered in a miraculous economic revival. That was an era when Japan suffered setbacks and rose again. Based on the latest research results, Professor Takahisa Furukawa of Nihon University takes the broad perspective of politics, economy, diplomacy, and popular culture, and follows the time dimension of pre-war, wartime, and post-war, and uses a simple and easy-to-understand method to lead readers to easily overlook the historical panorama of the Showa era. The Showa era is an unfinished past, and its legacy remains influential today. This is a "definitive edition" by authoritative scholars that covers the turbulent 64 years of the Showa era.

In 1405, Timur, the last "world conqueror", died on his way to China. This not only caused the collapse of Timur's empire, but also ended the era when steppe empires dominated the entire Eurasian continent since Genghis Khan, and opened a new page in global history. In the traditional European-centered world history narrative, the Great Geographical Discovery, the Age of Discovery, the Industrial Revolution, and the "rise of the West" including the United States-these terms constitute key clues for people to interpret the course of modern global development. But according to John Darwin, a heavyweight historian at Oxford University, the center of world history is Eurasia rather than the ocean world. For the entire Eurasian world, including China, 1405 was the beginning of diversified global modern history. The collapse of Timur's hegemony directly gave rise to a tripartite confrontation between Europe, the Islamic world, and East Asia. Europe has felt tremendous pressure from other civilizations for hundreds of years. This long dynamic balance of power continued until the advent of the "Eurasian Revolution" at the end of the 18th century... This historical masterpiece that reinterprets the origin of the globalized world jumps out of the European perspective and comprehensively overlooks the world stage since 1405. It draws the Ottoman, Safavid, Mughal, "Chinese", Japanese, Russian (Soviet Union), British, American and other empires into the big chessboard of the Eurasian continent, making these 600 years of world history no longer a one-man show of the West.

The author tells the story of the rise and fall of the world's major diets, from the mastery of grain cooking some 20,000 years ago to the present. Through the apparent jumble of diverse diets, the author reveals the underlying simplicity of a culinary genealogy, illustrating how cyclical changes in culinary philosophy about health, economics, politics, society, and belief in the gods drove the creation of new diets, some of which were chosen as imperial diets and came to dominate the world. The authors also illustrate how traders, missionaries, and armies moved diets across mountains, oceans, deserts, and political borders. This book's innovative narrative considers cooking, like language, clothing, or architecture, as a human creation. By emphasizing how cooking transforms produce into food and using the global rather than a specific country as the stage, it challenges the agrarian and romantic myths that underpin the contemporary food movement.

Wars, jungles and malaria, stelae, reliefs and pyramids, a panoramic description of the Mayan discovery journey in the pre-Columbian era! This is an extraordinary and true story about the rediscovery of the Mayan civilization: following "The Lost City of Z" and "Frozen Empire", we usher in another forgotten adventure history. In 1839, John Stephens, the U. S. Envoy to Central America, and Frederick Catherwood, the renowned British architect and draughtsman, set out for the untouched jungles of Yucatan. At that time, the Bible was the template for history, and many people still believed that world civilization had only existed for 6,000 years. Traveling deep into the jungle, Stephens and Catherwood overcame disease, war, nature, and the difficulties of the terrain to uncover and meticulously document the remains of an astonishing civilization. This American civilization, which flourished at the same time as ancient Greece and Rome, established artistic, architectural achievements and influence that rivaled the former two. This discovery also changed Westerners' understanding of human history. In Stones, Temples, and Lost Civilizations, Pulitzer Prize finalist William Carlson follows Stephens and Catherwood as they revisit present-day Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico to uncover the rich history of Mayan ruins. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including Stephens's diaries, letters, and Catherwood's masterful illustrations, Carlson deftly tells the fascinating story of these two great travelers and their discovery of the Maya.

Historian Edward Baptiste tells readers the fact that in the 80 years after American independence, the expansion of slavery promoted the development and modernization of the United States.

As punch cards pierced the protective shield of non-Aryans, American business oligarchs sounded the death knell for European Jewry. Why did the massacre happen? How did it happen on such a large scale in a short period of time? Why were the victims accurately identified? Why did IBM form an alliance with the Nazis? Is this the distortion and abuse of human rights politics or the interest game in the speculative economy? How was IBM's advanced technology introduced to Europe? How are frozen funds transferred out of German-occupied Europe? What kind of opportunity did the U. S. State Department become the personal postman for IBM's European business? Historians have always been amazed by the efficiency and accuracy with which the Nazis identified European Jews, but until now, the mystery has not been fully solved. Only by accurately identifying the Jews could Hitler effectively impose asset confiscation, segregation, deportation, enslavement and ultimately genocide. This task is a great list and organization challenge and requires a computer to complete. But in the 1930s, computers had not yet been born. To this end, as a leader in modern information technology, IBM did not hesitate to create an "Aryan" identity, and helped Hitler accelerate the massacre process with a specially designed and continuously updated Hollerith punch card system. In fact, the technology provided by IBM was used to organize almost everything related to Germany and later occupied Europe, from the Jewish census and ancestry certification to the use of the railway system and the organization of concentration camp labor. Only with the technical support of IBM could Hitler achieve such a large-scale massacre. Now, Edwin Blake has revealed the final mystery of Germany's massacre of the Jews.

This book is the representative work of the famous British diplomatic historian Robert Balmain Mowert.

This book is one of the most important works of Arthur Henry Johnson, an expert on British medieval history and a history lecturer at Oxford University. It takes the major historical events of the second half of the 16th century Europe as the Reformation, the Dutch Revolution and the French Civil War as the main line, and provides a detailed interpretation of the entire process of differentiation and integration of European political and religious forces. The final result was that the Catholic unification of Western Europe was completely broken; Spain lost its status as the European hegemon; France collapsed and its vitality was severely damaged; the religious conflicts in the Holy Roman Empire intensified, and a larger-scale war was about to come; the Kingdom of England stayed out of the matter, reaped the benefits, and gradually realized its strategic rise. After reading this book, I am deeply moved.
