6月23日 (16:20) (月)

Room 6009

Some students are interested in the Asia-Pacific War (1937-1945). 

Monday is the only free time to do an extended session like this. Therefore, I will begin Part 1 at 16:20. If that is not convenient, then please join Part 2 from 17:10.

There are many possible points to cover, so what are you interested in?

Richard Frank is an American historian who specializes in the Asia-Pacific War. He is known for extremely detailed research and writing, relying on evidence available from both Japanese and American archives. Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire is the best book I have read about the end of the war, from both Japanese and American perspectives. The book focuses on 1945, discussing in detail the dire situation of Japan and the decisions leading up to the use of the atomic bombs.

Please join me for a special lecture on the history of the Pacific War (1941-1945) and its connection to the China-Japan War (1937-1945). I will cover the primary causes leading up to the war and the most important conclusions, including the use of atomic bombs.

PART 1: 16:20~17:00 China-Japan (1937~1941)

PART 2: 17:10~18:20 U.S.-Japan (1941~1945)

Instructor Theron Fairchild will cover the essential information on this important time in modern Japanese, Chinese, and American history.

The session will be in Room 6009, during class on Monday, June 23 from 16:20.

Some videos included during session

Some students have requested a second lecture on the Pacific War. 

There are many possible points to cover, so what are you interested in?

Possibilities:

1. Japan's occupation of Asian regions (occupation, violence, war crimes)

2. Industrial wartime production  (population & factories)

3. The U.S. bombing & blockade campaign

4. Atomic Weapons Development & Japan (wartime & afterward)

Let me know if any of these interest you, or if you have some other topics that interest you.
