Japan has an amazing density of history for a small nation; particularly in the 20th century.
I wouldn’t call all of it ‘amazing’, it is dark, but it is fascinating.
Japan faces a lot of possible change in the 21st century, and all these changes will affect the world.
There is no ‘short’ explanation..
More than just a leadership change happened yesterday.
“What happened, PIK? I’m overwhelmed! It makes no sense, why should I care?”
1. Julia Gillard called a leadership spill, Kevin Rudd challenged her; Kevin Rudd won – 57 votes to 45. He is now the leader of the ALP, and the [un-elected] Prime Minister of Australia.
