Flag

The Japanese Empire is the first Axis Power and some think it was them who started WW2 for invaded China. In the very early 1930's, the Japanese invaded northern China (Manchuria) and established a puppet government and country called Manchuckuo. Japan then invaded most of costal China and took the capital, Nanking. They then look south towards Indo-China. The took all of French Indo-China, made Thailand a puppet state, and invaded the British Raj(India).Then the dummest mistake Japan made was Pearl Harbor. After the suprise attack, the US began to lose small island to the Japanese until Midway. The battle of Midway was a shcocking defeat for the Japanese and turned the tide of the war in the Pacific. They began to lose islands such as:

  3. Formosa
  4. Owinaka

With this bad loses Japan was losing materials and weapons fast. They prepared for an American landing on the homeland so the made sure that every citizen was a soldier. They even made the kids if the Soldiers came close, come up to the soldiers and explode themselves. Instead of an invasion, the americans dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki taking Japan out of the war. They are an example of what happens when you wake a slepping gaint.
