So which is it?[edit]

The article states "The modernization of the Japanese army and navy during the Meiji period (1868-1912) and until the Mukden Incident (1931) was carried out by the newly founded national government, a military leadership that was only responsible to the Emperor and the help of French, English and Prussian military advisors." That's what I believed but the article "Imperial Japanese Army" states that "The Imperial Japanese Army was initially developed with the assistance of American (post Civil War), then French and finally by German advisors (post Franco-Prussian War)...". For consistancies sake - should either be corrected.Peter Rehse 06:36, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, both articles are right the way they are. There were military officers as o-yatoi gaikokujin from all four nations. In the army, first the French and then the Germans were the most influential, in the navy, most of the advisors were British. So the army article doesn't mention the British, because they were mostly in the navy, and the modernization article doesn't mention the Americans because in 1868 they were mostly replaced by French. -- Mkill 00:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Article Content[edit]

Why did the creator of this page decide to stop at the Mukden Incident (1931), and not go into the late 1930's and early 40's(basically pre-World War II)? Samtree121 (talk) 17:10, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming Revisions[edit]

I am considering adding more to the 1900-1930 part of the page, as well as exploring into properly citing some of the information on this page. There is a lot of information without sources. Samtree121 (talk) 17:10, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
