Prezi: Why Japan was Defeated

Japan was defeated because of their lack of resources, and the fact that they were putting to much on their plate at one time. Japan had wanted  to occupy a large buffer zone in east Asia and the Pacific. In this buffer zone they would be able to counter attack America by using their island bases. At the same time they were attempting to build up a stock piles of vital materials taken from the occupied areas (aka the buffer zone). But the Americans had adapted plans that would stop the Japanese, and as a result the Japanese plan failed. Then to top it all of the Americans dropped the Atomic bomb, and Japan was done for. Japan surrendered to the Allies. After the surrender the Allies occupied the area to insure success. Then Americans helped Japan to build back up, thus reconstructing it to what it is today. http://prezi.com/juininzcalvg/copy-of-why-japan-was-defeated/

  1. Excellent prezi, Johnsen.
    What I was wondering was: What caused Japan to not have enough resources? My only thought was that they had a policy of isolationism, and would have less material goods from other coutries, and without cultural diffusion, less innovation. Any other thoughts?

  2. Good job, Alysa. Your Prezi flowed very nicely. I do agree with Kaylan, however. Explaining why Japan couldn't overcome the Allies a little bit more would've been interesting to have. Still, I thought it was great.

  3. I really liked your ending. Again i agree with Evan and Kaylan. It would have helped if you went into more detail.
