Also, this is a history that does not include the Koreas or China, as soon as someone writes their histories, I'll revise mine.
2006Shinzo Abe is elected as Prime Minister of Japan. With help from the United States. Japan sets up a conprehensive free healthcare/social security system.
2007After a Japanese medical team is killed in Iraq. Politicians discuss the possibility of the disbanding of Article IX of the postwar Constitution. It is met with mass opposition by both the public, and National Diet.
2008A massive 9.0 earthquake devastates the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto metropolitan chain. 30,000 people are killed, another 6 million are left homeless. Due to his inability to handle the situation, the House of Representatives submits a motion of no confidence against Shinzo Abe.
2009Shinzo Abe steps down as Prime Minister of Japan. An interim Prime Minister, Ganju Himihara, is elected.
After Japan sends a small, humanitarian force to Afghanistan, two members are abducted and held hostage. While German special forces rescue both individuals, Article IX of the constitution is again a topic of debate.
2010The Playstation 4 comes out in Japan, but is scheduled for worldwide release in 2012.
2011Interim Prime Minister Ganju Himihara is replaced by Ryuichi Bakada as Prime Minister of Japan.
A bomb is set off in an internet cafe in Hokkaido. Two Arab men were arrested for the bombing, and claimed that because of Japan's ties to America, they punished Japan.
2012After another series of bombings, all pinpointed to foreigners and political ideologies. Japan restricts the number of incoming flights from foreign nations and increases security. A bill to disband Article IX of the constitution meets firy resistance from the public
2014Through massive public outcry, Japan recognizes Kurdistan as an independent nation. The United States responds to this move by calling the USS George Washington, and her carrier battle group, out of Japan and back to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
2016Two American soldiers are found to have murdered a four year old girl on her way home from school. Though they are prosecuted and convicted by an American military court, the murder enflames the views that America's defense should not begin with Japan.
2017Saiyo Kimizi is elected as Prime Minister of Japan. His first action as Prime Minister, with the blessing of the National Diet, closed almost 2/3 of American military bases in Japan.
2020Japan officially offers an apology to China and the Koreas for war crimes in World War II. No compensation is made, however.
2021Japan revokes permission for the United States to use any land for military use, with the exception of Yokosuka Naval Base and Yokoto AFB.
