Japón es uno de los países que más se adaptan en el mundo. Puede hacer un cambio muy rápido, aun después de crisis que detendrían el progreso de otras naciones. Cuando los shogunatos colapsaron en el siglo XVII, el sistema feudal se desintegró. Sin embargo, en menos de un año, los ferrocarriles reemplazaron a los carros de bueyes.

That would be underscored by one of the war’s most famous events, a bizarre battle that involved a makeshift Russian fleet under the command of an irascible and unstable admiral sailing around the world to meet its fate.

“It’s hell out there” was how one Marine described the assault on Tarawa, the US Navy’s first amphibious landing in World War II’s arduous Pacific campaign to bring the Empire of Japan to its knees. In 76 hours of fighting, the Marines lost nearly as many men as had died during the six months of the Guadalcanal campaign.

To many Koreans, Filipinos, Chinese, and countless Asian ethnicities, the rising sun flag occupied the same moral space as the swastika and the Nazi flag.
