| History: |
Empire of Japan was founded on January 3, 1868, when supporters of the emperor Meiji overthrew Yoshinobu, the last Tokugawa shogun. Japan's rapid industrialization and militarization under the slogan Fukoku KyÅhei (富国強兵, "Enrich the Country, Strengthen her Armed Forces") and Shokusan KÅgyÅ (殖産興æ¥, "Promote Industry") led to its emergence as a world power and the establishment of a colonial empire. |

| Economy |
| Description: |
The economic history of Japan is most studied for the spectacular social and economic growth in the 1800s after the Meiji Restoration, when it became the first non-Western great power, and for its expansion after the Second World War, when Japan recovered from devastation to become the world's second largest economy behind the United States, and from 2013 behind China as well. In the half century up to 1999, Japan's exports grew from 144 million to 5,331 million yen (¥). This amounted to a share of world trade of only 3.7%, compared with 13.7% for the United Kingdom or 11.8% for the United States. The Great Depression of the 1930s also resulted in imports exceeding exports by ¥1,000 million. In 1936, Japan possessed the third-largest commercial shipping fleet in the world, valued at $1,183,000,000, or $28.10 per person. |
