diplomat058: Sir, please go to the official website of the government of Japan. Though the Prime minister is the head of government, Japan remains an Empire. |

DaveDGreat: Japan cannot be an Empire without constituent colonies. Have you seen any Empire that was defeated in a war and occupied by the victors, yet remained an Empire? That can't be cos such Empire would be dissolved and it's colonial possessions would be taken from it. Just as the Ottoman Empire, Italian Empire, Roman Empire, Austria-Hungarian Empire, and so on. Japan is no longer an Empire. I already provided you creditable reference. The |

diplomat058: As per the bolded, it's true that the they retain the titles as honourary titles. However, Japan still calls herself an Empire and refers to the sovereign as "the Emperor". However, you need to know the origin of the Empire of Japan and why the topmost ruler is called the "Emperor". Japan was ruled in the old times by shoguns[/i] who were like military kings in their respective areas. These shoguns weld lots of powers until the Empire of Japan was formed. All shoguns were under the Emperor who ruled over them and with time, had the power to appoint and depose shoguns. Hence the reason why Japan is being referred to as an Empire. Past Emperors of Japan stretched their lands northwards with more subservient lords and chiefs in their own right. Most of those lands are now part of the country called Japan. That was how Japan became an Empire in the first place. For instance, Emperor Ras Tafari Mekonen, later Haile Selassie I, was the Negus[i] (meaning King of kings) of Ethiopia. Yet he was exiled by the Italian occupational forces but was still Emperor till he returned but he was ultimately disposed and the Empire abolished.

DaveDGreat: Lols. I don't even understand your argument. How can Japan remain an Empire after the Empire of Japan has been dissolved and the constitution recognizes the state as Kingdom of Japan. Until now, you have not provided me with any valid reference. I can't see "Empire of Japan" in the screenshot you attached. Pls provide an evidence where Japan refer to itself as Empire of Japan in official capacity. The current Japan is officially known as [b]Japan. [/b]Every other thing you does not relate to the main argument here pls. Attached are some screenshots of the official names of countries in the UN register. Japan included. 1 Like

diplomat058: OK. But if we are to go by your logic and by the screenshot you provided there, then Jordan and Jamaica are not monarchies since they didn't put the "Kingdom of" before these two countries. Jordan has a king and Jamaica has a Queen but Jamaica calls herself Jamaica and that's it. That's my point actually. Japan doesn't need to "reconquest" China and Korea to remain an Empire. She is already one and she has an Emperor recognised by her government. But you're correct in many ways though. |
