  • Riassunto

  • On this week's episode of History Reconsidered, Sumantra Maitra and Jarrett Stepman talk about the rise of Imperial Japan before World War II. They explain how an isolated, highly traditional Asian society rapidly modernized in the 19th century and rivaled the great powers of the West.


    Maitra and Stepman explain Japan's larger strategy and how--despite efforts to Westernize--the nation eventually fell back into a military controlled form of government.


    Was the confrontation between Japan and the United States in the Pacific War inevitable or was there another, better path Japan could have taken?
