BACKGROUND
 In 1603, after decades of civil warfare, the Tokugawa shogunate (a military-led,
dynastic government) ushered in a long period of relative political stability and
isolation from foreign influence.
 For more than two centuries this policy enabled Japan to enjoy a flowering of its
indigenous culture. Japan opened its ports after signing the Treaty of Kanagawa
with the US in 1854 and began to intensively modernize and industrialize.
 During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan became a regional power
that was able to defeat the forces of both China and Russia. It occupied Korea,
Formosa (Taiwan), and southern Sakhalin Island. In 1931-32 Japan occupied
Manchuria, and in 1937 it launched a full-scale invasion of China.
 Japan attacked US forces in 1941 - triggering America's entry into World War II
- and soon occupied much of East and Southeast Asia. After its defeat in World
War II, Japan recovered to become an economic power and an ally of the US.
While the emperor retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, elected
politicians hold actual decision-making power. Following three decades of
unprecedented growth,
 Japan's economy experienced a major slowdown starting in the 1990s, but the
country remains a major economic power

"Decade Volcanoes" by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry
of the Earth's Interior.

 Environment - current issues
air pollution from power plant emissions results in acid rain;
acidification of lakes and reservoirs degrading water quality and
threatening aquatic life; Japan is one of the largest consumers of fish
and tropical timber, contributing to the depletion of these resources
in Asia and elsewhere
