21世纪来临了。逢此重要时刻 ,回顾日本走过的道路 ,感慨良多 ;展望日本的未来发展 ,亦喜亦忧。2 0世纪日本的发展 ,可谓大起大落 ,荣辱皆存。无论从日本史还是从世界史观之 ,皆可云 2 0世纪是日本发展最快的时期。在 2 0世纪前半期 ,日本主要依靠自己的力量 ,同众多国家作对 , The 21st century is coming. At this important moment, we should recall that the road Japan has taken has a great deal of emotion. Looking forward to Japan’s future development, we also like and worry about it. The development of Japan in the 20th century can be described as ups and downs, with both honor and disgrace. In the 20th century, Japan can be the fastest growing period in both the history of Japan and the history of the world. In the first half of the 20th century Japan relied mainly on its own strength to oppose many other countries.
