Japan's Imperial Ambitions Led to War

Before the Twentieth century ia
pans imperial ambitions were re-
stricted to Korea, the coast of China
and some neighboring islands in the
Japanese sea. Japanese leaders
suddenly realized the power Of west
ern armament During the next half
century Japan was modernized so
successfully that the Japanese VIC
tories over China in 1894, and Russia
in 1905 were swift and conclusive.

exceeded that of ordinary missiles
that it brought a quick reaction
from government that had planned
continuation of the conflict from
underground bastions despite in
creasing B-29 attacks.
Though use of the atomic bomb,
with all of its shuddering potential
ties, had it's repercussions in the
Western world, it undoubtedly did
hasten Japan's capitulation, thus
sparing the tremendous cost that an
invasion would have entailed against
a fanatical population girded for an
about defense.
Besides threatening to lay Japan
waste, the atomic bomb also was
credited with blowing Russia into
the conflict, thus bringing the total
Allied weight to bear against the
Nipponese. In all, these two events
served to climax the growing tenn
po of the Allied drive in the Pacific,
which saw U. S. forces virtually sit
ting on Japan's doorstep at the ces-
sation Of hostilities.
Coming shortly on the heels of
Germany's capitulation in Europe,
Japan's surrender brought to an end
the most destructive and expensive
conflict in history, with the cost to
the U. S. alone exceeding one mill
lion casualties and 300 billion dol
lars.
The American total of over 1,000,-
600 combat casualties for this con-
f1ict compare with the 1875, 1000 of
World War I, and the PSI, 900 dead
far surpasses the $4,000 recorded in
1919. Against the U. S. cost of 300
billion dollars for this struggle, the
expense of World War reached %
billion.
The figures Of combat casualties
for all of the participants of the
recent European war are stagger-
ing, with estimates of $4,000, 600
killed, divided almost equally be-
tween the Allies and Axis. OF this
number, Russia alone was said to
have suffered 100000 dead.

checked the enemy tide in the spring
Of 1912, when the American fleet
stopped the Japs' southeastward
drive in the battle of the Coral sea
and then thwarted their eastward
surge at Midway.
From then on, the U. S., building
up tremendous military and mate
rial strength under a unified front
at home, was on the march, with
the Japanese seeking time to con-
solidate their newly won position as
the overruling Asiatic power by bit
ter delaying action in their outposts.

and with the ground forces isolating

Having led American ground
forces back over the vast
tracts of the Pacific to the

the Gripping blow at Pearl
Harbor, General Macarthur
was designated to accept the

High Point Reached
The high point of Japanese

Inc nigh point OF Japanese ag-

June IL, 1910, at Ichang. There
after Chinese armies and guer-
rillas held the line and forced q
slow retreat. In the next two
years, however, Jap naval and
air strength conquered the Pa

began to turn late in 1912, when
Allied land and sea forces repealed
attacks in the Aleutians, and In
