تاريخ اليابان - الحديث والمعاصر

Japan - with its history, people and civilization - is considered a unique and pioneering model in the context of human history and its stages of development. This distinction also played a role on the political level, as the Japanese imperial family has continued to rule the Land of the Rising Sun since 660 BC until today (the present). It is the only dynasty that has not been affected by fluctuations over the centuries, and has remained at the head of power, despite strategic changes in some stages; where it possessed absolute power. In other stages, it was merely a symbol of the ancient Japanese people, and did not have any influence on fateful decisions. Japan is linked to the continent of Asia in all geographical, religious, historical, social and economic aspects, but its political experience in governance was unique from the rest of the Asian experiences in modern history;Because it hastened to build its first modern renaissance in the nineteenth century, without falling into the clutches of Western colonialism, which steals the wealth of peoples, relying on dazzling slogans; so that the talk turns into dependency that serves the interests of the colonizer.
