Howdy folks, I’m currently working on a video on Godzilla and wanted to understand as much of the historical context surrounding the original film (and as much as I can get for each of the subsequent films). So i wanted to jump on here and ask if anyone has good history books that talk about japan before, during and after the war. Also if you have any good japanese history books in general (obviously preferably in english as i don’t speak japanese and would rather defenstrate myself then google translate a history book). Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

JACKET DESIGN BY THE LATE, GREAT RANDY UCHIDA (✝) -- GROTESQUE IN ITS JAGGED, VICIOUS, & UNDILUTED BRUTALITY.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on close-up, isolated shots of the G.I.S.M. Detestation 12” LP sleeve art, pressed by Dogma Records/City Rocker Records, c. 1983.
Real shit, not that PC-as-fuck, wimp-ridden, censored tripe that Relapse has been pushing as of late, and I still can't believe Sakevi approved the edit of Randy's artwork in this recent reissue. It's downright disrespectful and fucking embarrassing, full stop. Poor Randy, man, and would he have even approved of Relapse's current path of self-censorship, I wonder? Obi strip, my arse. **smfh**

If you’re at the level of like, ethnonationalist imperial Japanese bootlicking that you’re telling Filipino people you wished they’d been kworded by the imperial Japanese… you’ve lost the moral high ground

Remember the Battle of Tulagi and Gavutu–Tanambogo: August 1942.
Tumblr media
During the Guadalcanal campaign from August 1942 to February 1943, the Battle of Tulagi and Gavutu-Tanambogo—all small islands in the Solomons—became a grim prelude to the fierce island-hopping battles ahead. While the Allied land forces fighting on nearby Guadalcanal faced much less resistance, U.S. forces on these other three islands were met by an outnumbered Japanese force that fought to protect the island to the last man.
This fierce, almost suicidal Japanese resistance was common throughout the rest of the war in the Pacific, and Americans got their first taste of it on the remote island of Tulagi.

I know alternate history is not your field but change would we see if the imperial Japanese airforce was created in 1928, I ask because there were proposals for it that time but the army navy big wigs shot it down be cause they didn't want to lose there designs.
I like alternate histories and pondering what ifs but an Imperial Japanese Air Force is kinda out of my wheel house.
I imagine it would have gone just as well as the Navy and Army as far as cooperation and stretched their limited resources even more than what we see in our timeline. The Air Force would probably end up with equipment they should have had in the first place, like tanks and aircraft carriers like how the Navy designed and built their own tanks and the Army designed and built their own carriers because the two services couldn't cooperate to save their soldiers lives. If anything, the war in the Pacific might have ended sooner.
There's a reason why it doesn't exist in that time period and it has everything to do with the Imperial Japanese military culture at that time.
So for your idea to work, the Army and Navy would need to have settled their interservice rivalry to allow an Air Force and then it's hard to say from there. But I would imagine WWII might have lasted longer and the Soviets would have gotten more involved after Germany was defeated, leading to a North and South Japan during the Cold War. So anime might or might not exist or at the very least be different.
Thanks for the ask anon.
