      The early Edo period was one of the few times in the world when farmers were able to become self-reliant. However, as Japan's economy developed and the gap between rich and poor became more pronounced, many honhyakusyo fell back into the position of servants.

    2 things to note about the Washington Naval Conference. 1. It forced the dissolution of the historic alliance between the UK and Japan, which set Japan down the road of allying with the Axis, where she was part of the Allies in WW1. 2. The conference in no way limited the construction of Aircraft carriers, which more than Battleships or Dreadnaughts decided the war in the pacific

    Did you hear of the Bonin Islands Gap? During World War II, American submarines targeted Japanese oil tankers by exploiting the "Bonin Islands Gap" or the "Tokyo Express Route." This route was a critical maritime passage used by Japanese tankers to transport oil and supplies from the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia) to Japan. The Bonin Islands, also known as the Ogasawara Islands, are a group of islands located to the southeast of Japan. The American submarines, particularly the U.S. Navy's submarine force known as the "Silent Service," took advantage of the Bonin Islands Gap due to its strategic significance in Japanese maritime logistics.

    I am interested in the next article describing the history of the Navy. The IJN seemed to have more Decisive Victory in the Russo-Japanese War compared to the IJA. It is also true that the IJN took far more territory than the IJA. The difference being territory the IJA conquered could provide resources that Japan was desperately short on, while the nautical miles conquered by the IJN acted as a buffer and prevented America from getting to the Home Islands in a reliable way for a long time. I hope that you mention the Hōshō, the first purpose-built aircraft carrier in your History of the Navy, as it is a part of Naval Aviation history more Japanese aught to know about and be proud of.

    Very interesting video. I also became more and more skeptic of the Koreans’ claims recently. South Korea’s been pushing goal post further and further to the point that the Japanese can’t even be proud of themselves and their culture and history. (If anyone interested search up “Korean VANK” - an organization run by the SK government to denounce Japan internationally). The issue between SK and Japan was already settled in the 1965 treaty. Their claim that the late Emperor Showa owns some forms of responsibility is absurd as the government at that time was controlled by the military and corrupt politicians who used the Emperor’s name. They also never mention what they did in Vietnam in their school textbooks. Kinda hypocritical if you asked me. As a foreigner, I feel bad for the Japanese people and Japanese imperial family as they have to bear their “original sin” forever simply they lost a war once.

      Thank you for your comment. I still understand the accusations against the war from the Chinese. Korea was Japanese territory and we were not at war with them. Moreover, there was no conscription system for the Korean people, and when volunteers were recruited, the number of applicants was so great that the number of applicants was more than 10 times higher. Basically, Western colonial policy was totally different from that of Japan. The Japanese taxpayers' money contributed to the development of Korea. I don't think it's right to say that they should thank Japan for that, but I think it's wrong to advertise that arrogant rule was in place. I would like Korea to provide education based on more facts.
