Ancient Japan
Human culture in Japan is traces to more than 30,000 years ago. Early periods were marked by pottery and farming, followed by iron technology and stronger agriculture.
Middle Japan
A Portugese expedition made its way to Japan by landing in the South and had a significant impact on Japanese culture even with such a limited interaction. Firearms immediately became a part of Japanese warfare. A later expedition by the Americans would end Japan’s seclusion and even lead to the fall of the Shogunate.
Modern Japan
