Who was the chinese emperor in World War 2?
The Japanese Emperor during WW1 was named Yoshihito. Today he is referred to in Japan as the Emperor Taisho. He was the father of Hirohito, who reigned during WW2.Yoshihito’s reign lasted from July 30, 1912, until his death on December 25, 1926, when he was succeeded by his son Hirohito. Upon his death, Yoshihito became known, by tradition in Japan, as the Emperor Taisho, which was the name of the era (“Great Righteousness”) during which he ruled.Emperor Hirohito’s era was known as Showa, which means “Enlightened Peace.” This is somewhat ironic since Hirohito presided over Japanese aggression in Asia through the 1930’s and all of WW2, although to this day it is not entirely clear just how much Hirohito was involved in Japanese militarism of the period. Showa ended with Hirohito’s death on January 7, 1989, and today in Japan Hirohito is known as Emperor Showa. Outside of Japan he is still referred to as Hirohito, but in Japan this would be considered overly familiar.
What countries were part of the Japanese Empire and its conquests?
Direct rule: Ryukyu Kingdom (Okinawa), 1879 Taiwan and Pescadore Islands, 1895 (awarded to Japan by the Shimonoseki Treaty with the Qing Empire) Joseon Kingdom (modern day Korea), 1910-1945 The islands comprising much of Micronesia were made a Japanese mandate after the post WWI treaties took them from Germany's control. Protectorate states with very little local control: Manzhouguo, 1932 Republic of China, 1940 a consolidation of IJA held territories run from Nanjing. Despite using the insignia and capital of the ROC, it was not the legitimate ROC, which had become a government in exile after the defeat of Nanjing. Malaysia, Burma, Singapore, New Guinea and Hongkong taken from the UK; Indonesia taken from the Netherlands; the Philippines taken from the US; Indochina taken from France; Thailand (an axis country compelled to fight at Japan's direction).
