It follows wars against China and Russia, the annexation of Korea, expansion into Manchuria and China and the wider Pacific War. The book examines imperial ideology, colonial rule and military government alongside the experiences of subject populations, ending with Japan’s defeat in 1945 and the dissolution of its empire.
