History

Answer:

By the end of 1942, the Japanese Empire had expanded to its farthest extent. Japanese soldiers were occupying or attacking positions from India to Alaska, as well as islands across the South Pacific. From the end of that year through early 1945, the U.S. Navy, under Admiral Chester Nimitz, adopted a strategy of "island-hopping". Rather than attacking Japan's Imperial Navy in force, the goal was to capture and control strategic islands along a path toward the Japanese home islands, bringing U.S. bombers within range and preparing for a possible invasion. Japanese soldiers fought the island landings fiercely, killing many Allied soldiers and sometimes making desperate, last-ditch suicidal attacks. At sea, Japanese submarine, bomber, and kamikaze attacks took a heavy toll on the U.S. fleet, but Japan was unable to halt the island-by-island advance. By early 1945, leapfrogging U.S. forces had advanced as far as Iwo Jima and Okinawa, within 340 miles of mainland Japan, at a great cost to both sides. On Okinawa alone, during 82 days of fighting, approximately 100,000 Japanese troops and 12,510 Americans were killed, and somewhere between 42,000 and 150,000 Okinawan civilians died as well. At this point, U.S. forces were nearing their position for the next stage of their offensive against the Empire of Japan.

How did European states come to dominate China’s economy during the mid 19century?
Finger [1]

Answer:

China tenía una cultura milenaria que había sobrevivido a toda clase de amenazas extranjeras. De una forma u otra, por mucho que cambiara la persona, la dinastía y la etnia que ejercía el poder, la cultura china había salido airosa de las influencias extranjeras. De hecho, los conquistadores siempre habían acabado por someterse a la tradición china.

Nada podía hacer sospechar, a principio del siglo XIX, que China sufriera una transformación que acabaría con esta cultura guardada durante siglos y, que además, acabaría siendo dominada por las potencias europeas bajo la impotente mirada de la dinastía Qing. A finales del siglo XVIII, los contactos con Europa no dejaban de ser meras anécdotas para los chinos. Ni siquiera los jesuitas que habían empezado a llegar a las tierras asiáticas parecían suponer un problema.

Bien recibidos por el entonces emperador Kangxi, los jesiutas parecieron olvidar su principal cometido, las enseñanzas cristianas, e iniciaron una labor de estudio de la propia cultura china. No es de extrañar que emisarios papeles fueran enviados a poner fin a la actividad de estos.

Tampoco los productos que traían los europeos causaban sensación entre la población china, ni siquiera entre sus clases más altas. Es más, sucedía todo lo contrario, los europeos se encontraban mucho más interesados por las manufacturas chinas.
