| Description |
When the United States subdued and began the occupation of Japan in 1945, it marked the first time in fifteen hundred years that the country has been defeated and occupied by a foreign power. The occupation caused enormous tension on both sides, and constituted the turning point in the U.S. – Japanese relations. The history of our relations with Japan, from Commodore Perry to the Present, is reviewed and analyzed by host Professor Gosling and Professor Ward. Among the questions they consider are: Will she turn toward communism? Film, graphics, and still photos illustrate the points under discussion.
