Answer:
The military history of Japan is characterized by a period of clan warfare that lasted until the 12th century AD. This was followed by feudal wars that culminated in military governments known as the "Shogunate". Feudal militarism transitioned to imperial militarism in the 19th century after the landings of Admiral Perry and the elevation of the Meiji Emperor. Japan was influenced by western colonial powers and Western imperialism in Asia. This led to Japanese colonialism and rampant imperialism until Japan's defeat by the Allies in World War II. During the Occupation of Japan a new Japanese Constitution was enacted in 1947. It prohibits Japan's ability to offensively use war against other nations. This lead to the JSDF being a defensive military force. The U.S.-Japan alliance requires the United States to protect Japan and to conduct offensive duties in conjunction with the JSDF. In 2015, the Constitution was reinterpreted to allow collective self-defense of its allies.he Jōmon were the first settlers of the Japanese archipelago. The Jōmon period is the time in Japanese prehistory between c. 14,000–300 BCE,[1][2] recently refined to about 1000 BCE,[1][3][4] during which Japan was inhabited by a hunter-gatherer culture, which reached a considerable degree of sedentism and cultural complexity. The name "cord-marked" was first applied by the American scholar Edward S. Morse, who discovered sherds of pottery in 1877 and subsequently translated it into Japanese as jōmon.[5] The pottery style characteristic of the first phases of Jōmon culture was decorated by impressing cords into the surface of wet clay and is generally accepted to be among the oldest in East Asia and the world.[6]
Near the end of the Jōmon period (c. 300 BC), villages and towns became surrounded by moats and wooden fences due to increasing violence within or between communities. Battles were fought with weapons like the sword, sling, spear, bow and arrow. Some human remains were found with arrow wounds.
