Overview[]
Japan[]
Japan is an island nation located in East Asia. For centuries, Japanese culture and faith has flourished with much independence from foreign influence and today it remains fiercely unique. Since the assumption of imperial power over the feudal shogunates in the late 1800s by the Emperor Meiji, Japan has rapidly become a highly modern, prosperous, and powerful country.
Hirohito[]
Hirohito's reign as emperor of Japan—the longest of any monarch in modern times—was a period of great turmoil and change. Although he chose as the name for his reign the word "Showa," which means "Enlightened Peace," he ruled during one of the least peaceful periods in history. Hirohito's enemies considered him the head of a brutal, militaristic country and felt that he should be punished as a war criminal for atrocities (extreme cruelty and violence) committed by the Japanese military against Chinese citizens during World War II. But others now argue that Hirohito was powerless to prevent the war with the Allies, that he was not in charge of the military campaigns, and that he personally opposed the war. He was a shy, self-conscious person whose life had been devoted not to governing a country but to playing the mainly symbolic role of emperor.
Dawn of Man[]
"We are graced with your presence, O' Emperor Hirohito. Appointed as regent of the Imperial throne in 1921, your reign would span the greater part of a century. Although contested for your part in overseeing Japan's violent claim to empire over the Asia-Pacific during the second world war, it was your role as a symbol of peace and unity for which you are best remembered by your people. An advocate of diplomacy, science, and the peaceful co-existence of nations, you would ultimately pave the way for the transition of the Imperial household into the modern world.

Introduction: "I humbly greet you as Japan's Emperor. May our two nations co-exist in peace."
