This book covers the history of Japan from the very beginning to 2002 A.D. During 19th Century Japan became the most advanced and powerful nation of Asia and raised the slogan, “Asia for Asiansâ€. Japan tried to extent her empire to other places of Asia like China, Korea, etc. This annoyed Western powers and USA, and therefore, they became the worst enemies of Japan. In the second world war, Japan fought against Britain, France and USA in alliance with Germany and Italy but did not attack USSR. After the defeat of Italy and Germany, USA forced Japan to surrender by using its atomic power and in the wake of an attack of Russia on Japan. In spite of the defeat, Japan made astonishing progress and has become one of the most advanced and the richest countries of the world. Japan has made wonderful progress by peaceful means and hardwork; the study of progress of Japan is, therefore, useful for Indian students and Indian people. It is hoped that the book will prove useful to students as well as the common readers.
