3) An Invasion or an Incident? The occupation of Manchuria in 1931 was considered by the Japanese as an "Incident", and as an "Invasion" by the historians. Imagine that you are an Irish reporter. Choose one of these terms to write a report about what happened in Manchuria. Your report will be published on "The Irish Observer".

As we know, the 1931 Manchuria occupation came to a Mukdens accident when it appeared on September 19, 1931 and took until WWII. But what concept is the best to define this incident? Invasion or accident? Everyone can define this accident according to their interpretation, but for me, I think I think that an invasion of Japan has decided to build the exploitation of its power, leading to the invasion of Manchuria. What do I want to explain with that? What I meant is that when the Japanese have decided to expand the operation of their force in this area, in this area that was not under them, to start and do what they are the best in this territory that is the best of one of the others. The force, which orders another force is another force, an invasion, an invasion that can be defined as a military operation in which the forces of a country or a country or a particular territory with their force, in another country or other authorization, without any authorization. Give permission and d...

2) Imagine que usted viaja en el ferrocarril a través de la Manchuria ocupada en 1932. Usted acaba de leer "Hamlet". Qué similitudes podría usted encontrar entre lo que leyó y la situación que ve bajo la ocupación japonesa? Describa sus pensamientos en una carta al director de un periódico británico.

  Señor director: Tengo unas cuantas cosas que decirle sobre el ferrocarril que pasa a traves de manchuria, el cual por mi forma de verlo, es una clara imagen de los desastrozos acontesimientos que sucedieron en Manchuria. E de admitir que no e leido mucho su diario, pero debo añadir que el articulo que lei, sobre las similitudes que comparte con Hamlet, me parecen una muy gargantuesca falacia. Me parece indignante que ofendan a este hermoso ferrocarril y a sus honorables trabajadores, los cuales trabajan dia a dia para brindarnos este increible servicio, solo porque el mismo fue construido luego de un conflicto nacional.  Como ya sabemos Hamlet trata sobre la venganza que tendra el principe de Dinamarca, debido a que mataron a su padre. Lo cual no entiendo en que mente revolucionaria puede caber la idea de que eso tenga alguna similitud con un ferrocarril. El cual no tiene sentimientos, visa, u opinion. Estoy consiente que intentaron relacionarlo de la mejor manera posible y ...

1) Read the section "People and History" from Worksheet # 4. Analyze both characters, Yamamoto Isoroku and Kanno Sugako. Write a journal entry comparing and contrasting both characters, and their fates. Conclude your entry with the answer to this question, "Was it fair"?

 To start with this comparative text, we need to know on a more personal level that these two people were of Japanese origin and lived when the imperial office still exists in their country. On the one hand, Yamamoto Isoroku was a Japanese marin wounded in the battle of Tsushima, and then he became one of the managers of the attack on the Harbor Pearl, on the other hand, Kanno Sugako was a woman with the socialist ideal and feminists resisting the war of that time. She wrote several articles in which she criticized the situation of women in Japan in 1911, while she looked at them in a state of slavery because she criticized from her texts that women in Japan were considered an object and had no freedom. . Due to an "invisible" essence, it refers to the authority of the Emperor. She decided to kill the emperor of that time, since she has never been taken into account and has always been written with these ideals, but a person announced it for her attempt to kill against the Em...
