Wolfenstein: The Rising Sun

Greater Japanese Empire

(A/N: This version of Japan is the Wolfenstein Version of Nazi Germany. Some story but with some changes. You'll just have to read to understand better.)

==========

History: Founded on January 3, 1868, the Japanese Empire was a nation that once struggled to compete with the other major powers. However, due to a series of events and reforms during the Meiji Restoration, Japan would grow to be a rival power to be contended with. Wanting to be a major power of its own, Japan would begin a series of campaigns to expand its Empire in Aisa and conquer more territory for more resources. When Japan entered into WW1, this was when the country began to change into a more militaristic society with ideals of expansion and craving out its own Empire. 

Due to the fallout with the Western Powers, Japan joined the Axis Powers during WW2 and committed many atrocities in China and the rest of Asia. In 1941, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, causing America to enter into the war on the side of the Allies. However, even though Japan was unable to contend with the industrial might of America, there was still hope for the Empire due to advancements in high advanced technology. This was in part thanks to the help from a Japanese Scientist named Dr. Shinotama, leader and head of Unit 753, a Unit based around the creation of High Technology for the IJA and IJN. But truth of the technology created by Dr. Shinotama was not truly his own.

In 1945, in Occupied China, a Japanese Ship sank in the middle of Lake Poyang, carrying stolen loot from China. The Japanese sent a team to recover the valuables, but instead found something even more valuable. Under the city was a secret gateway to a Hidden Underground Village. Housing a Secret Society known as the 'Tao-Shan', who retreated underground long ago with the goal of preserving sacred knowledge after the First Emperor began his Book Burnings. Dr. Shinotama, having founded the village, ordered the library of the village to be looted and transported to his base in the South Pacific, along with the surviving Villagers, claiming he had found the key to winning the war. After acquiring and understanding the necessary knowledge, the Japanese Scientist would kill all but a few of the villagers as only a small handful managed to escape.

With new technology in the hands of the Empire, Japan quickly turned the tide of war in their favor, tearing through the ranks in China and the rest of Asia through newly created robots called 'War Spiders' and 'War Dogs'. To the surprise and shock of the allies, the Japanese, who were being pushed back mere months ago, were suddenly making incredible gains once more. However, there was a hint of optimism in the air. With the help of William Joseph Blazkowicz, the Allies discovered the location of Unit 753's headquarters in the North Atlantic. Believing that the destruction of Unit 753's head would stop the Japanese War machine. Unfortunately, the mission was a failure, as Shinotama survived the day and Blazkowicz and his team (Frederick, a Hunter from Australia, and Wyatt, a Harvard dropout) went MIA after that day and were assumed dead. To make matter worse, most of the American Pacific Fleet was involved in the attack and sunk, along with much of the Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet, allowing the Japanese to begin overrunning the Pacific.

With the failure of that mission, the world would fall into the hands of Imperial Japan. Chiang-Kai-Shek and Mao Zedong were killed missing after China fell. Australia fell shortly afterwards, along with India and the Russian Far East. In Europe, Germany had won the Battle of Stalingrad, but was betrayed by their allies to the east as the rest of Russia fell to Japan, so did the Third Reich, with Europe becoming divided into Japanese Puppet states. America would fall as well. The gassing of San Fransisco, leaving the city lifeless for 20 years, would be a shock to the nation, but did not deter the American people. Unfortunately, things would change when the Japanese unveiled the Atom Bomb, and when Dallas and Detroit went up in smoke, the US chose to surrender, resulting in America being divided up into puppets, with the largest being the Pacific States of America.
