The Japanese Occupation of Snowland is a lesser known period of imperial
history, but with equally as devastating
short-term and long-term impacts. The indigenous citizens of Snowland, usually peaceful, were forced to submit to the strength of the Japanese military. Throughout the occupation, citizens were taxed unrealistically, beaten, and in many cases, removed from their homes altogether. Several rebellion movements occurred by
local militias throughout the period, but none were successful. At the end of the occupation, Snowland was set back centuries in terms of innovation and progress, and is still considered a heavily undeveloped region in
todayā
s world.
