Hideki Tojo

The topics I researched are; Hirohito and Hideki Tojo. Hirohito was emperor of Japan. Hideki Tojo was a military leader. I will start with Hirohito. Then I will talk about Hideki Tojo. Hirohito was born April 29, 1901. He was also Japan’s 124th emperor. In his early life he didn’t live with his parents, he was in the care of a retired vice admiral. A few years later he was also put in the care of an imperial attendant. During his childhood he was not able to see his parents. Years later he was able to see his mother once a week. Even though he saw his mom once a week he rarely saw his dad. He went to several different schools growing up. The first school he went to was Gakushuin school. It was also known as Peers School. After
Both of them also grew up during a time of civil unrest during Japan’s lifetime. Hirohito’s life did have many major events in it, like the start of World War Two on the Pacific Front. Even though Hirohito did partially cause the war on the Pacific Front that was the only major thing he did during WWII. His childhood was also very average for a prince. Tojo on the other hand caused many major events during his lifetime. One major event was a coup d'état that occurred February 26th, 1936. This event has also been known as The February 26th, Incident. He was also involved in the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Something else he was also involved in was the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. While Hideki Tojo was alive he caused much much more death than Hirohito. If you were to ask me Tojo seems like he was a much worse and terrible man than Hirohito. While Tojo did see some things after WWI in Europe he was most likely too young to see, that is no excuse for the things he did as an adult in the Japanese military. But, he did also learn lessons he would remember as an adult from the things saw in Europe. I believe he probably wanted power he couldn’t have and died trying to achieve this
