The goal of the paper is to describe an event in international relations (Japan during 1939 – 1945, Pearl Harbor Invasion) and then use one theory to interpret what happened . Your paper will be divided into two parts (please separate part 1 and part 2).

Remember that the main task is to describe thoroughly what Japan did year by year in World War II. So, you’ll need at least one milestone per each year of Japanese involvement, with very clear actions. For the rhetoric portions, you need to use direct speeches and statements by actual Japanese officials, and then examine their speeches for themes.

As many “correct” sources as needed, some provided in my document – see instructions for source requirements.
