Reflects on the end of World War II, a war that led to the use of atomic weapons. The war in the Pacific as representing the attempt of a modern, non-Western power to carve its place in a world colonized and dominated by white people; Janpan's attempt to create a mythology of a chosen people with an Emperor as a descendant of the sun goddess; How the United States expanded into the Pacific throughout the early 20th century; Bataan death march; Allied victories.
