- L'Imperi Japonès (大日本帝国; Dai Nippon Teikoku) és un terme polític utilitzat per a referir-se al Japó des de la Restauració Meiji fins al final de la Segona Guerra Mundial. 'L'imperi començà a gestar-se quan Yoshinobu Tokugawa, 15è Shogun del Shogunat de Tokugawa retorna el poder a l'Emperador amb "El Retorn de la Sobirania" (大政奉還; Taisei Hōkan), després d'això, la Cort Imperial declara la restauració de la monarquia (王政復古; Ōsei Fukko), i amb els clans de Satsuma i Chōshū es forma la base del nou govern de Meiji. Les primeres decisions van ser liquidar el feudalisme dels "shogunats", rebatejar el país com la "Gran Nació Imperial del Sol Naixent" i s'aprova la Constitució Meiji (大日本帝国憲法 Dai Nippon Teikoku Kenpou) amb aquesta denominació a l'any 1889, on l'Emperador és el cap d'estat i en qui recau la sobirania del país. Tanmateix, al país es continua utilitzant altres denominacions com ara "Japó" (日本 Nihon), "Gran Japó" (大日本 Dai Nippon), la "Gran Nació del Sol Naixent" (大日本国 Dai Nippon Koku), o l'"Imperi del Sol Naixent" (日本帝国 Nippon Teikoku); i no fou fins al 1936 que s'uniformitza l'ús del títol propi del país. El 1946, l'any després de la fi de la Segona Guerra Mundial, a causa de la seua rendició, l'estructura política i administrativa del Japó es reestructura, i el títol del país es revisà com a "Nació del Japó" (日本国 Nihon Koku).
- Japonské císařství byl státní útvar existující v letech 1868–1945 na území současného Japonska, Kurilských ostrovů, Tchaj-wanu a po její okupaci roku 1910 i Koreje. Vládli mu císařové z dynastie Jamato.
- Als Japanisches Kaiserreich wird zumeist nur die von der Meiji-Restauration ab 1868 bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs 1945 bestehende Staatsform Japans bezeichnet. Aus politischer Sicht umfasst es die Zeit von der Abschaffung der Han und Einrichtung der Präfekturen am 14. Juli 1871 über die Expansion Japans vom Pazifik in den Indischen Ozean bis zur formellen Unterzeichnung der Kapitulationsurkunde am 2. September 1945. Verfassungsgemäß bezieht der Begriff sich auf die Zeit vom 30. November 1890 bis zum 2. Mai 1947. Die Namen Japanisches Reich und Kaiserliches Japan sind allgemein bekannt und verwendet, obwohl die wörtliche Übersetzung der japanischen Bezeichnung Kaiserreich Großjapan lautet. Das Land wurde Japanisches Kaiserreich genannt, seitdem die dem Shōgun feindlich gegenüberstehenden Lehen Satsuma und Chōshū in der Meiji-Restauration die Grundlage einer neuen Regierung mit dem Ziel bildeten, das Reich zu vereinen. Dennoch war es erst in der „Verfassung des Kaiserreichs Großjapan“ von 1889, dass der Titel Tennō – Kaiser von Japan – das erste Mal offiziell genutzt wurde. Erst 1936 wurde der offizielle Name des Landes gesetzlich festgeschrieben. Bis dahin wurden die Namen Nippon (Japan), Dai-Nippon (Großjapan), Dai-Nippon/-Nihon Koku (Nation Großjapan), Nihon Teikoku (Kaiserreich Japan) gleichzeitig in offizieller Funktion verwendet. 1946, ein Jahr nach Kriegsende, wurde Japan restrukturiert und der Titel des Landes geändert. Mit dem Entwurf der Verfassung Japans von 1946 wurde der Staat benannt als „Staat Japan” (Nihon Koku).
- The Empire of Japan was an empire and world power that existed from the Meiji Restoration on 3 January 1868 to the enactment of the post-World War II Constitution of Japan on 3 May 1947. Imperial Japan's rapid industrialization and militarization under the slogan Fukoku Kyōhei (富国強兵, "Enrich the Country, Strengthen the Army") led to its emergence as a world power, eventually culminating in its membership in the Axis alliance and the conquest of a large part of the Asia-Pacific region. At the height of its power in 1942, the Japanese Empire ruled over a land area spanning 7,400,000 square kilometres (2,857,000 sq mi), making it one of the largest maritime empires in history. After several large-scale military successes during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and the Pacific War, the Empire of Japan also gained notoriety for its war crimes against the peoples of the countries it conquered. After suffering many defeats and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, however, the Empire of Japan surrendered to the Allies on 2 September 1945. A period of occupation by the Allies followed the surrender, and a new constitution was created with American involvement. The constitution came into force on 3 May 1947, officially dissolving the Empire. American occupation and reconstruction of the country continued well into the 1950s, eventually forming the current nation-state whose title is simply that ("the nation of Japan" Nippon-koku) or just "Japan" . The Emperors during this time, which spanned the entire Meiji and Taishō, and the lesser part of the Shōwa eras, are now known in Japan by their posthumous names, which coincide with those era names: Emperor Meiji (Mutsuhito), Emperor Taishō (Yoshihito), and Emperor Shōwa.
- El Imperio del Japón comúnmente se refiere a Japón desde la Restauración Meiji hasta el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la nueva constitución de Japón de 1947, desde 3 de enero de 1868 hasta el 3 de mayo de 1947.
- Japanin laajentuminen tarkoittaa Japanin harjoittamaa valloituspolitiikkaa 1800-luvun loppupuolelta aina toisen maailmansodan päättymiseen asti. Japani oli vuosisatoja suljettu yhteiskunta, kunnes maa joutui Yhdysvaltojen painostamana avaamaan ovensa maailmalle 1800-luvun puolivälissä. Meiji-restauraation jälkeen maa alkoi noudattaa laajentumishakuista politiikkaa. Vuonna 1872 maa liitti Riukiusaaret itseensä ja saaret ovat maan hallussa edelleen. Vuonna 1895 Japani miehitti Taiwanin ensimmäisen Kiinan–Japanin sodan seurauksena. Kymmenen vuotta myöhemmin käytiin Venäjän–Japanin sota, jonka Japani voitti. Sodan seurauksena Japani miehitti Korean niemimaan ja Mantšurian, sekä vei Venäjältä Sahalinin eteläosan. Ensimmäisessä maailmansodassa Japani oli sodassa ympärysvaltojen puolella keskusvaltoja vastaan ja sai Saksalta sodan jälkeen Kansainliiton mandaattialueina hallintaansa Marshallinsaaret, Mikronesian, Palaun ja Pohjois-Mariaanit. 1930-luvulla Japani oli miehittänyt jo suuria alueita Kiinasta. 1940-luvun alussa Japani oli jo miehittänyt Indokiinan, Thaimaan, Burman, Singaporen, Malakan niemimaan, Indonesian ja Filippiinit. 1940-luvun alussa Japani teki sotaiskun Yhdysvaltoja vastaan Havaijille, jonka jälkeen maa joutui mukaan toiseen maailmansotaan akselivaltojen puolelle. Sodan aikana Japani teki iskuja muun muassa Australiaan. Japani joutui sodan seurauksena pikkuhiljaa perääntymään ja lopullisen niitin toi Yhdysvaltojen suorittamat ydinaseiskut Hiroshimaan ja Nagasakiin, jonka jälkeen maa joutui antautumaan ehdoitta ja vetäytymään kaikilta miehittämiltään alueilta. Japani menetti myös Marshallinsaaret, Mikronesian, Palaun ja Pohjois-Mariaanit Yhdysvalloille. Japani itse oli miehitetty aina vuoteen 1952 asti.
- L'Empire du Japon ou Japon impérial, était la désignation officielle du Japon durant la période allant de l'ère Meiji à l'ère Shōwa et englobant la Première Guerre mondiale et la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Après deux siècles et demi de fermeture au monde extérieur, le Japon connaît une réorganisation politique avec la fin du Shogunat et se transforme en nation moderne - adoptant sa première constitution en 1889 - ainsi qu'en puissance d'envergure mondiale. Le pays se caractérise également par une forte politique expansionniste et impérialiste, qui culmine durant la première partie de l'ère Shōwa et la participation du pays au second conflit mondial. Avec la conclusion du pacte antikomintern, puis du pacte tripartite, l'empire japonais finit par s'allier à l'Allemagne nazie, rejoignant ainsi l'Axe formé avec l'Italie fasciste dans le conflit contre les Alliés. Par la réalisation du hakko ichiu, un concept lié au Kokka shinto et pouvant se traduire par «la réunion des huit coins du monde sous un même toit», l'Empereur Hirohito devient un symbole de l'Empire colonial du Japon. Après la défaite du Japon dans le conflit mondial et l'adoption en 1947 de la nouvelle constitution, le pays est désigné officiellement sous le nom de Nippon ou Nihon, et parfois Nippon-koku ou Nihon-koku (日本国, soit littéralement Nation japonaise).
- A Nagy Japán Birodalom (ismertebb nevén a Japán Birodalom vagy Japán Császárság) egy 1867. november 9-e és 1945. szeptember 2-a között fennállt államalakulat. Az állam a Meidzsi-restauráció után, a Tokugava-sógunátus felbomlása után jött létre. Japán gyors ipari és katonai fejlődése a Fukoku kjóhei (富国強兵, Gazdag ország, erős hadsereg) szlogenje alatt Ázsia nagyhatalmává tette. 1872-ben meghódította a Rjúkjú-szigeteket, majd 1894–1895-ben, az első kínai–japán háborúban döntő vereséget mértek a Csing-dinasztiára, és megszerezték Koreát. Japán ezután 1904–1905-ben az orosz–japán háború folyamán legyőzte a cári Oroszországot - ekkor fordult elő először, hogy egy ázsiai hatalom egy európai nagyhatalmat legyőzzön. 1914-ben harcolt az első világháborúban, és megszerezte Csingtaót és Mikronéziát Németországtól. Azonban ezt követően a hadsereg hatalma egyre növekedett az államon belül, és egyre militánsabb és agresszívebb kormányok váltották egymást. 1931-ben a megrendezett mukdeni incidens után a japán csapatok megszállták Mandzsúriát, és Mandzsukuo néven bábállamot hoztak létre itt. 1937-ben pedig kitört Japán és a Kínai Köztársaság között a második kínai–japán háború. 1936-ban aláírta az Antikomintern paktumot és 1940-ben csatlakozott a háromhatalmi egyezményhez, ezzel végleg a Tengelyhatalmak mellett kötelezve el magát. Hatalma csúcsán, 1942-ben mintegy 7 400 000 km területet tartott ellenőrzése alatt, amely a világ legnagyobb országainak sorába emelte. A midwayi csata után azonban fokozatosan elkezdett visszaszorulni az ország, és végül 1945-ben a vesztesek oldalán fejezte be a világháborút. Habár a japán kormány igyekezett kitartani a végsőkig, a Hirosimára és a Nagaszakira dobott atombomba ezt nem tette lehetővé. Ezután az ország amerikai megszállás alá került Douglas MacArthur tábornok vezetése alatt. Az ország 1947. május 3-án kapott új alkotmányt, és végül az amerikai gyámkodás időszaka is véget ért 1952-ben, átadva helyét a mai modern Japánnak.
- Con Impero giapponese (大日本帝国, Dai Nippon Teikoku, letteralmente Impero del Grande Giappone) ci si riferisce comunemente al periodo della storia del Giappone che ha inizio con la Restaurazione Meiji e termina con la fine della seconda guerra mondiale. Politicamente, si riferisce al periodo che inizia con l'istituzione delle prefetture in sostituzione dei domini feudali dal 14 luglio 1871, continuato con l'espansione del Giappone nel Pacifico e nell'Oceano indiano, fino alla resa formale il 2 settembre 1945, quando venne firmata la resa del Giappone. Costituzionalmente, in definitiva, si riferisce al periodo compreso tra il 29 novembre 1890 e il 3 maggio 1947. Il paese era stato denominato Impero del Giappone sin dai domini feudali anti-shogun, le province di Satsuma e Chōshū, che formarono il nucleo del nuovo governo durante la Restaurazione Meiji con l'intenzione di formare un impero. Tuttavia solamente a partire dal 1889, con la Costituzione dell'Impero del Giappone, il titolo Impero del Giappone venne ufficialmente utilizzato per la prima volta, e soltanto nel 1936 tale denominazione venne legalizzata per denominare il Paese. Fino ad allora, le denominazioni Nippon (Giappone), Dai Nippon (Grande Giappone), Dai Nippon-koku (Grande Stato del Giappone) e Nippon Teikoku (Impero del Giappone) venivano tutte utilizzate. Nel 1946, durante l'occupazione americana del Giappone, iniziò la ristrutturazione del sistema di governo del Giappone, che iniziò proprio con la modifica della denominazione ufficiale del paese in Stato del Giappone, e fu seguita l'anno dopo dalla stesura della nuova Costituzione del Giappone.
- 大日本帝国（だいにっぽんていこく、だいにほんていこく、大日本帝國）は、1889年（明治22年）の大日本帝国憲法発布時から1947年（昭和22年）の日本国憲法施行時までの約58年間、天皇が大日本帝国憲法を通じて統治する日本として使用された国号のひとつ。1868年（明治元年）の明治維新から1945年（昭和20年）の太平洋戦争（大東亜戦争）の終戦時までの日本を指すこともある。最盛時には現在の日本の領土に加え、南樺太、千島列島、朝鮮半島、台湾などを領有していた他、北東アジアや太平洋にいくつかの委任統治領や租借地を保有した。 以下は国号としての大日本帝国を解説し、また大日本帝国憲法下の日本について記述する。
- 대일본제국은 1868년 1월 3일부터 1947년 5월 3일 사이의 일본과 그 점령지를 의미한다. 흔히 일본 제국, 제국주의 일본, 특히 줄여서 일제라고도 한다. 제2차 세계 대전 이전은 일본에서 "전전 일본"(戰前日本)라고 불리며 이후는 충일황국(忠日皇國)이라고 불리기도 한다. 1868년 1월 3일 왕정 복고의 큰 호령에 의해 메이지 정부가 설립되고 1947년 5월 3일 일본국 헌법이 발효되기 전까지의 79년간을 가리키며 일본 천황을 국가 원수로 받드는 제국주의 시대였다. 급속한 서구 문명을 받아들이는 개방 정책을 통해 아시아에서 가장 부유하고 군사적으로 강한 나라로 만들자는 부국강병의 기치 아래 근대화와 발전을 이룩하였다. 1895년 4월 17일 청일 전쟁에서 승리하면서 타이완을 합병했다. 1905년 러일 전쟁에서 승리했고 1910년 8월 29일 대한제국을 병합했다. 1930년대 만주와 중국 대륙을 침략하였으며 나치 독일, 이탈리아 왕국과 함께 추축국의 일원으로서 제2차 세계 대전에 참전하여 베트남, 싱가포르, 필리핀 등 동남아시아 지역을 점령하였다. 그러나 미국과의 태평양 전쟁에서 전세가 바뀌어 결국 1945년 8월 초에 히로시마와 나가사키에 원자폭탄이 투하되고 소비에트 연방이 만주를 침공하게 되자 8월 14일 포츠담 선언 수락을 선언했다. 8월 15일 연합국에 공식적인 항복 선언을 했고 9월 2일 포츠담 선언을 체결했다. 연합군으로서 일본을 점령한 미군이 연합군 최고사령부를 설립한 뒤 군정을 실시함으로써 일본 제국은 사실상 패망하었다. 그로부터 2년 뒤인 1947년 5월 3일에 일본국 헌법이 시행되고 공식적으로 소멸했다.
- Het Japanse Keizerrijk was de voormalige politieke entiteit van Japan, dat al sinds de Meiji-restauratie tot het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, die loopt van af 3 januari 1868 Tot en met 2 september 1945.
- – określenie używane w odniesieniu do państwa japońskiego w okresie od drugiej połowy XIX wieku do pierwszej połowy XX wieku, który przypada na japońskie epoki: Meiji, Taishō oraz wczesną Shōwa, a więc łącznie na lata 1868-1945 (formalnie do 1947). Ówczesna gwałtowna industrializacja oraz militaryzacja kraju sprzyjały uzyskaniu przez Japonię statusu mocarstwa. Wynikiem prowadzonej przez państwo polityki ekspansjonizmu był udział Japonii w licznych wojnach, m. in. w: I wojnie chińsko-japońskiej (1894-1895), wojnie rosyjsko-japońskiej (1904-1905), II wojnie chińsko-japońskiej (1937-1945) oraz II wojnie światowej (1941-1945). Doprowadziły one do powstania rozległego imperium liczącego u szczytu swojej potęgi ponad 7 400 000 km², obejmującego, poza Wyspami Japońskimi, znaczne obszary w Chinach, Azji Południowo-Wschodniej i Oceanii. Udział w II wojnie światowej, który początkowo umożliwiał Japonii znaczną ekspansję terytorialną, ostatecznie zakończył się upadkiem imperium i trwającą siedem lat okupacją kraju przez wojska amerykańskie.
- O Império do Japão foi uma entidade política japonesa que existiu desde a Restauração Meiji em 3 de janeiro de 1868 até sua derrota na Segunda Guerra Mundial e a outorga da Constituição do Estado do Japão, em 3 de maio de 1947. A rápida industrialização e militarização do país, sob o slogan Fukoku Kyohei (富国強兵, Fukoku Kyohei "Enriqueça o país, fortaleça o exército"), levou a sua ascensão como uma potência mundial, posteriormente culminando na sua entrada na aliança do Eixo e na conquista de grande parte da região do Pacífico e do leste asiático. Com o aumento de seu poder em 1942, o Império japonês dominava um território que cobria 7,4 milhões de quilômetros quadrados, tornando-o um dos maiores impérios marítimos da história. Após alguns sucessos militares de grande escala durante a primeira metade da Guerra do Pacífico, o Império do Japão também ganhou notoriedade por seus crimes de guerra contra os povos conquistados no seu Império. Após sofrer muitas derrotas e os bombardeamentos de Hiroshima e Nagasaki, o Império do Japão rendeu-se aos Aliados da Segunda Guerra Mundial em 2 de setembro de 1945. Um período de ocupação pelos aliados seguiu-se à rendição e à dissolução do Império e a nova constituição foi criada com a influência americana. A ocupação americana e a reconstrução do país continuaram até a década de 1950, posteriormente formando o Japão moderno. Os Imperadores durante esse período, que incluíam os períodos Meiji, Taisho e Showa, são conhecidos no Japão, hoje, por seus nomes póstumos, que coincidem com os nomes das eras: Imperador Meiji (Mutsuhito), Imperador Taisho (Yoshihito) e Imperador Showa.
- — государство, существовавшее с 3 января 1868 года по 3 мая 1947 года. Юридически термин можно применить к Японии периода с 29 ноября 1890 года по 3 мая 1947 года.
- Kejsardömet Japan var en japansk politisk enhet som fanns under perioden från meijirestaurationen år 1868 till dess nederlag i andra världskriget 1945. Formellt upphörde det 1947. Landets snabba industrialisering och militarisering under parollen ”富国强兵” (Fukoku Kyōhei, ’berika landet, stärka armén’), ledde till dess utveckling som en stormakt som slutligen kulminerade med sitt medlemskap i Axelmakterna och erövringen av en stor del av Asien och Stillahavsområdet. På höjden av sin makt (1942) regerade det japanska kejsardömet över ett landområde som sträckte sig över 7 400 000 kvadratkilometer, vilket gör det till en av de största maritima imperierna i historien. Efter flera storskaliga militära framgångar under första halvan av stillahavskriget blev Kejsardömet Japan ökänt för sina krigsförbrytelser mot de erövrade invånarna inom sitt imperium. Efter att ha lidit många nederlag och atombombningarna av Hiroshima och Nagasaki kapitulerade Japan till de allierade den 2 september 1945. Efter en period av ockupation av de allierade följde överlämnandet och upplösningen av kejsardömet och en ny konstitution skapades med amerikansk inblandning. Den amerikanska ockupationen och återuppbyggnaden av landet fortsatte långt in på 1950-talet som så småningom bildade det moderna Japan. Kejsarna under denna tid, som sträckte sig över meiji-, taisho- och showa-epokerna, är nu kända i Japan genom sina postuma namn, som sammanfaller med namnen under dessas eranamn: kejsar Meiji (Matsuhito), kejsar Taisho (Yoshihito) och kejsar Showa.
- Япо́нська Імпе́рія («Велика Японська Імперія») — імперія у Східній Азії з центром на Японському архіпелазі. Постала у 1867 році завдяки відновленню прямого імператорського правління в Японії. Офіційно проголошена 26 листопада 1889 року у зв'язку із прийняттям Конституції. Окрім власне Японії, включала в себе території Тайваню, Кореї, південного Сахаліну, Курильських островів, китайську провінцію Квантун, а також ряд островів Мікронезії. За формою правліяння була конституційною монархією й за час свого існування керувалася трьома японськими імператорами — Мейдзі, Тайсьо і Сьова. Поєднуючи політику заморської експансії і визволення країн Азії від колоніального поневолення державами Заходу, брала участь у ряді збройних конфліктів місцевого і глобального масштабу. Була знищена 2 вересня 1945 року в результаті поразки у Другій світовій війні.

American occupation and reconstruction of the country continued well into the 1950s, eventually forming the current nation-state whose full title is the "State of Japan" (Nippon-koku) simply rendered "Japan" in English. The Emperors during this time, which spanned the entire Meiji and Taishō, and the lesser part of the Shōwa eras, are now known in Japan by their posthumous names, which coincide with those era names: Emperor Meiji (Mutsuhito), Emperor Taishō (Yoshihito), and Emperor Shōwa.
- The Empire of Japan (大日本帝國, Dai Nippon Teikoku, literally the Empire of Great Japan) was an empire and world power that existed from the Meiji Restoration on 3 January 1868 to the enactment of the post-World War II Constitution of Japan on 3 May 1947. Imperial Japan's rapid industrialization and militarization under the slogan Fukoku Kyōhei (富国強兵, "Enrich the Country, Strengthen the Army") led to its emergence as a world power, eventually culminating in its membership in the Axis alliance and the conquest of a large part of the Asia-Pacific region. At the height of its power in 1942, the Japanese Empire ruled over a land area spanning 7,400,000 square kilometres (2,857,000 sq mi), making it one of the largest maritime empires in history. After several large-scale military successes during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and the Pacific War, the Empire of Japan also gained notoriety for its war crimes against the peoples of the countries it conquered. After suffering many defeats and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, however, the Empire of Japan surrendered to the Allies on 2 September 1945.
