The first written mention of Japan is in [[China|Chinese]] history texts from the 1st century CE. From the 12th century until 1868, Japan was ruled by successive feudal military shoguns who ruled in the name of the Emperor. Japan entered into a long period of isolation in the early 17th century, which was ended in 1853 when a United States fleet pressured Japan to open to the West. After nearly two decades of internal conflict and insurrection, the Imperial Court regained its political power in 1868 through the help of several clans from Chōshū and Satsuma, and the Empire of Japan was established. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victories in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War I allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of increasing militarism. The Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937 expanded into part of World War II in 1941, which came to an end in [[1945]] following the atomic bombings of [[Wikipedia:Hiroshima|Hiroshima]] and [[Wikipedia:Nagasaki|Nagasaki]]. Japan joined the [[United Nations]] in 1956 and fell under the purview of the [[Unified Earth Government]] by the 22nd Century.<ref name="email">'''[[Halopedia:Letter - RE: Quick clarification - UEG]]'''</ref> | |||
