Panese Feudal System
Just like England in Medieval times, Japan also had a feudal system. It was structured very similarly to the English setup with a few changes of names and positions. The most powerful positions in society were the Emperor, Shogun, Daimyo and Samurai. Although these 4 positions were the most powerful in Japan at the time, they made up only roughly 10% of the total population, while roughly 90% were peasants and below.
Picture
The Emperor was looked up to by all of his people as the supreme ruler but held little political power and was seen as more of a 'puppet figure'.
The Shogun was probably the most important figure in Japanese society. He was seen as 'second in line' but did the most work. He was a military leader, so he was in charge of many of decisions to do with their armies, battles etc..
The Daimyo was a very powerful figure who served the shogun. His job control a large area of land. He was also in charge of their samurai, whom he paid to work and protect him.
The Samurai were Japanese warriors (similar to the European knight). They served and protected their Daimyo with respect. They also fought for their people and protected them, bringing justice and order to the community. Their followed a code of conduct called Bushido, meaning 'Way of the warrior' which told them how to live their lives.
Ronins were samurai warriors who had either been 'expelled' from their allegiance or their daimyo had died.
Peasants were farmers and fishermen. They were actually considered a higher class in Medieval Japan than in Medieval England because the Japanese believed that the peasants produced food, which was depended on by all classes, therefore, they worked harder.
Artisans were workers skilled in a particular trade. These included: sword-maker, dressmaker, woodblock print making etc.
Merchants were considered the lowest class in Medieval Japan unlike Medieval England. Their job was to trade/sell goods and shop-keep.

Answer:
Just four years after the end of World War 2, the biggest communist, USSR had developed its first nuclear weapon. This would set a path of fear of nuclear annihilation between the USSR and the US. The growing areas of communism had also started in countries such as Vietnam, China, Korea, Cambodia. Also, the European states that had been "liberated" by Nazi occupation stayed as communist satellite states for the USSR.
Answer:
I agree with the historians that say that WWII was a continuation of WWI because the conditions the winners imposed on Germany led her to the nationalization movement, the margination of the minorities, and the call to make Germany great again.
Explanation:
The reasons that make WWII a continuation of WWI were that in the first place after WWI Germany suffered from the impositions the winners of the first war gave her. Making her responsible for the war crimes and the disaster created. Thus, she had to pay for all the damage and remain under the watch of the former allies. However, after a while when the world found peace Germany developed a movement to make her great again by strengthening its economy with economic deals that sought less deficit between the countries that engaged in trade with her. Also, by claiming that Jews and immigrants were responsible for the poverty of Germany and the lack of jobs they were. When was the bad management of the resources, and the payment of the damages Germany did in the previous war. Thus, a new party emerged, a right-wing conservative party that sought to give jobs to the working class, former farmers, and non-skilled workers. Then, they made a coup de etat and took control over democracy. To make it a socialist one-party democracy.
