World War II in the Pacific was the culmination of the expansionist Japanese empire, an empire that was the product of just a few decades. How did the empire develop so quickly? What were its goals, and what made its strategists think that they could beat the world’s most powerful nations? UW History Professor Louise Young will tell us about Japanese expansion and the Wartime Empire.
