An account of the earliest and later expeditions made by the Russians along the Pacific coast of Asia and North America, including some related expeditions to the Arctic regions.

For 1976, Japan harvested more fish than any other nation, but was closely seconded by the Soviet Union. Both countries needed ocean regimes that would secure wide exclusive fishery zones off their coasts and guarantee their traditional fishery rights within the same zones off the coasts of other countries. The current negotiations between Japan and the Soviet Union on the amount of catch by Japanese within the Soviet Union's 200-mile zone and by the Soviet Union within the Japanese 200-mile zone are very complex. They involve territorial questions over four islands (Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan, and the Habomai group) northeast of Hokkaido, Japan, which have been occupied by the Soviet Union since the end of World War II. When the Soviets declared their 200-mile zone, Japan did not agree to Soviet fishing jurisdiction over the 200-mile zone surrounding these islands. In order to secure its traditional interests in fishing within the extensive 200-mile lines, including the disputed islands, Japan had to agree to the Soviet lines with a proviso that territorial questions would be separated from fishing rights. This thesis examines the recent history of the Japanese-Soviet fishery negotiations, with particular reference to territorial disputes as well as the influence of foreign policy issues and future problems are discussed.

This is a most important new work on Emperor Hirohito by one of Japan's leading historians, Ikuhiko Hata.
The book, which is not a biography or a general history of the Showa era, focuses on five decisions taken by Emperor Hirohito, which the author considers the key turning points of his reign: these concern the 26 February 1936 insurrection of young army officers, the termination of the Pacific War, the post-war constitution, the issue of abdication and the San Francisco Peace Treaty.

When December 7, 1941, dawned in Hawaii, no one expected that by the end of the day, the U.S.
Pacific Fleet would lie in ruins and the United States would be at war. The planes of the Japanese First
Carrier Striking Force sank or severely damaged 18 American warships lying at anchor at the Pearl Harbor
naval base on the island of Oahu. This single air raid on "a date which will live in infamy" forever altered the history of the United States.

In this article I shall argue that the Russo-Japanese War, was not only a clash for the political and economical supremacy in the Far East regions, but also a way for a territorial annexation where the reasons were neither political nor economical, but cultural.

With startling revelations,Tsuyoshi Hasegawa rewrites the standard history of the end of World War II in the Pacific. By fully integrating the three key actors in the story: the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan, Hasegawa for the first time puts the last months of the war into international perspective.
From April 1945, when Stalin broke the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact and Harry Truman assumed the presidency, to the final Soviet military actions against Japan, Hasegawa brings to light the real reasons Japan surrendered.
