It does this by stating that, “the emperor is descended from gods who created Japan and is therefore semidivine,” (“The World at War,” par. 10). This Shinto religion was popularized by the oligarchs of Japan and then was spread throughout to overtake Buddhism as the number one religion. The newfound popularity of this religion brought patriotism to a new, higher level. The citizens of Japan were unable…

Castles were used in feudal Japan and medieval Europe as homes for the noble classes and as defensive fortresses.
