The results were: that Hirohito would be an integral part, in helping to pacify Japan after the war and that he was influential, in preventing a full scale invasion of the country. These different views would cause all of the various U.S. government officials, to believe that he would serve an important political role, as a bridge between the past and the future. The various research methods that the author used, was to correlate these different views through: numerous speeches, drafts and memos of government officials. This would provide the greatest insights, as to what were the most prevalent opinions, about how to handle the Hirohito question.
When you examine the overall quality of both sources, it is obvious that all information was collected from: official documents, memos and speeches. Where, both can corroborate how the role of the emperor was changing before and after World War II. This allowed us to be able to understand how and in what ways his roles would change in the future.

At the same, he would not have the ability to influence any kind of government policy going forward. This is important, because both sources highlight how Hirohito would become a political influence, as he would develop into a figure in helping to reunify postwar Japan. As a result, one can argue that this changing role is what allowed him to maintain political relevance for decades.

However, Field exposes how these people have been forced to conform with this system, though social pressure, threats, and even violence. But despite these obstacles, there are still people like Shoichi who will speak out against this system and its historical
Roles of Japanese Emperors 1863-1945 An Analysis of the Respective Roles of Japanese Emperors: 1863-1945 Today, Japan stands side by side with many of the Western nations of the world in terms of its political philosophy and free market economy, but it has not always been thus. In fact, many contemporary observers would be surprised at just how much political intrigue and maneuvering took place over the past century and a half
Over 1,000 Chinese witnesses came forth to testify in the trials which lasted until February of 1947 after the Chinese government posted notices in Nanking regarding the need for credible witnesses, (Chang 1997:170). Unlike the Nuremburg Trials, however, much of the case against the Japanese fell apart thanks to faulty prosecution and a lack of true concern for justice in the region. The events which conspired in Nanking during the
America react to the Japanese seizure of Manchuria in 1931? To begin with we have to analyze the situation around China and international relations between the U.S. And Japan as they were two major powers of the Pacific region for a long time after Russian Empire had collapsed. There is no doubt that China was a desirable region both for the U.S. And Japan as it had extremely rich natural

According to Mackie, "the women's liberation movement developed out of a critique of modern Japanese capitalism, a dissatisfaction with the sexism of the New Left, and the need of women in Japan to theorise their place in East Asia."

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's executive order to contain Japanese-Americans in internment camps could have created mistrust in the Japanese and their descendants in the U.S. Such racial antagonism could have made many Americans feel justified to drop the atomic bomb on Japan.
