Imperial period?

I started a Battle of Pearl Harbor article, and referred to the Empire of Japan, but am open to other terms. The Showa period isn't in your timeline, but I'm not sure how far the Imperial period should go back. The rise of the hyperaggressive military in the 1920s? Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars? Meiji?

Suggestions welcome. I also put a single link to Empire of Japan in the main Japan article. Howard C. Berkowitz 12:30, 26 May 2008 (CDT)

The article always had a section on "Economy and empire; war and defeat: 1912-1950" (it did not show up as a header because of a typo). Japan has always had an emperor so there is no distinctive "imperial period", and historians always integrate the overseas empire into the main history of japan studiesm as the textbooks and monographs show. As for "Showa"-- the term has not really caught on like Meiji has among English language scholars and students of Japan--see the 2004 Hane textbook or the Perkins Encyclopedia.Richard Jensen 13:25, 26 May 2008 (CDT)
