On May 1, 2019, after the historic abdication of Emperor Akihito, his son Naruhito became Emperor, beginning the Reiwa era. On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered one of the largest earthquakes in its recorded history, triggering the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The United States occupied Japan from September 1945 to April 1952 and forced it to write a new constitution, in which it promised to never go to war again. Japan surrendered and gave up all the places it took from other countries, accepting the Potsdam Proclamation. Soon after this the Soviet Union began to fight against Japan, and the Japanese army in Manchuria lost. To make Japan surrender, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing 150,000 Japanese citizens. America was able to bomb most of the important cities and quickly brought Japan close to defeat. Once airbases were established within range of the Japanese mainland, America began to win, and started dropping bombs on Japanese cities. American and Japanese forces fought each other in the Pacific. This started the United States' involvement in World War II. In 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, a water base of the United States, and destroyed or damaged many ships and airplanes. It had wars with China and Russia: the First Sino-Japanese War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Russo-Japanese War, World War I and the Second Sino-Japanese War, which grew to become a part of World War II when Japan became allies with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. It invaded and annexed Ryukyu Kingdom, Taiwan, and Korea. The Empire of Japan was created, and it became a very powerful nation and tried to invade the countries next to it. The Meiji Restoration of 1868 stopped some old ways and added many new ones. This new contact with Europeans and Americans changed the Japanese culture. Perry brought steamships with guns, which scared the Japanese into making an agreement with him. Japan was opened for visitors again in 1854 by Commodore Matthew Perry, when the Americans wanted to use Japanese ports for American whale boats. Only the Chinese, Korean, and Dutch people were allowed to visit Japan, in the end, and they were under careful control of the Japanese government. So the Japanese did not let the Europeans come into Japan anymore, except in a small area in Nagasaki city. Japan's leaders welcomed them at first, but because Europeans had conquered many places in the world, the Japanese were scared they would conquer Japan too. Later, the Spanish and Dutch came to Japan to trade. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to visit Japan. Japan had some contact with the Europeans in the 16th century. For example, Japanese Buddhists used ideas such as Zen more than other Buddhists. The Japanese changed Buddhism in many ways. Japan's neighbours also taught them Buddhism. The Japanese began to write their own history after the 5th and 6th centuries, when people from Korea and China taught Japan about the Chinese writing system. One of those records said there were many small countries (in Japan) which had wars between them and later a country, ruled by a queen, became the strongest, unified others, and brought peace. The earliest records on Japan are from Chinese documents. The indigenous Ryukyuan and Ainu peoples have more Jōmon ancestry on the other hand. Modern Japanese people have primarily Yayoi ancestry at an average of 97%. The Yayoi were an ancient ethnic group that migrated to the Japanese archipelago mainly from southeastern China during the Yayoi period (300 BCE–300 CE). They were later conquered and replaced by the Yayoi people (early Japanese and Ryukyuans). They were closer related to Europeans or Greeks. If the latter, please contact a wiki administrator.The first people in Japan were the Ainu people and other Jōmon people.
