Japan To-do:

"in war with China for a second time and in 1941, it entered the world-wide conflict of the Second World War by attacking the United States at Pearl Harbor."
I think this line is lacking, as The Sino Japanese war is pretty much a catalyst for the war ongoing in that area. To say the Sino Japanese war and WWII are seperate entities is problematic because it is a continuous advance. I just find the line "stupid" because it is trying to seperate an asiatic conflict with the "world" conflict that was only happening in Europe, and North Africa... Note that the pacific conflict had been ongoing.
"The Second Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1941" says Japan had "seized" Hong Kong by 1939, yet in the next section it says Japan "overran" Hong Kong in 1941. Which is it, 1939 or 1941?
"Conservatives forced the passage of the Peace Preservation Law because the party leaders and politicians of the Taisho era had felt that, after World War One, the state was in danger from revolutionary movements. These fears, however, had no basis in reality. They were rooted strictly in ideology." [Emphasis added.]
Is it just me, or does this seem very not NPOV? Irregardless of whether their concerns were justified or not, simply dismissing it as paranoia doesn't strike me as "neutral." --MurderMunkey 15:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
