Other Military Information:
The Japanese military underwent major reform in the 1990s to become a full-fledged military after the abolishment of Article 9. Conscription was legalized and military service promoted, leading to an increase in personnel. While after 2010 Japan returned to an all professional force, Japan's military remains larger than IRL, and some older equipment has not yet been decommissioned. The Japanese military is in possession of domestic and foreign cruise and ballistic missiles, and has undergone research into ICBMs, with its M-V space rocket said to be roughly equal to the American Peacekeeper, and the J-1 rocket surpassing the American Minuteman III. Japan currently possesses 50 nuclear warheads.

Domestic Issues: Aging population and pacifist dissident
Foreign Issues: Threats from Korea and Russia and Senkaku and Takeshima Islands dispute.

History:

-1969: After the transition to the Nixon Presidency, Prime Minister Sato renounces his Three Non-Nuclear Principles and continues to argue that Japan needs to develop nuclear weapons to counter China's. He refuses to enter the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In his deal with Nixon over the repatriation of Okinawa, he agrees to allow the US to continue to maintain nuclear weapons on Okinawa. In a meeting with Nixon, Sato tells him that "The new generation could be educated to allow for nuclear development." As a result, the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture orders the revision of education policies and textbooks to a more militarist, pro-nuclear standing point. In addition, accounts of history from the Imperial period are more glorified.
-1970: In a secret offer to the US, Japan deploys 300 soldiers from the JGSDF and JASDF to Vietnam for "observation purposes" while also sending $5 million in military aid.
-1989: Fromer IJA Second Lieutenant; Prime Minister Uno successfully revises the constitution abolishing Article 9 with only a 2% margin in the vote.
-1991: The Hinomaru once again becomes the official flag, but no changes are made to it
-1992: Conscription is legalized and the Japanese military expands. Under Prime Minister Miyazawa, Japan begins development of strategic bombers and ballistic missiles.
-1993: Under Prime Minister Hosokawa, Japan begins development cruise missiles and a commission is formed to investigate the feasibility of a nuclear bomb.
-1995: Socialist Prime Minister Murayama attempts to revise the constitution to bring back Article 9, but fails.
-1996: The Japanese Air Force obtains Tomahawk cruise missiles from the US and domestically begins research on its own.
-1998: After the Korean Taepodong-1 missile test over Japan, the public cries out for better defenses and a Japanese nuclear deterrence.
-2001: In support of the US, Japan deploys 500 non-combat support troops to Afghanistan.
-2003: In a first, under pressure from America, Japan deploys 200 combat troops to Iraq in support of the US while also sending 1,500 more as non-combat support.
-2006: Shinzo Abe is elected and with his coalition having well over a two-thirds majority in both houses, engages in a massive re-militarization, ordering 2 light carriers and ordering the expansion of the fleet. In addition the production of several thousand ballistic missiles are approved, and nuclear research begins after North Korean nuclear tests.
-2009: Abe authorizes a project to develop a nuclear bomb.
-2012: After several years of Democratic party rule, Abe wins reelection. He orders the development of strategic bombers based around the B-52 and the Diet passes a plan for two carriers similar in size to the Queen Elizabeth Class and 2 light carriers to be constructed.
-2015: Japan develops its first nuclear bomb and production of 49 more are authorized, however none are ever tested.
-2017: Following Korean missile tests, Japan opens up its own intercontinental ballistic missile development.
-2021: Shinzo Abe continues his tenure despite a flare up in his illness and wins reelection.
-2022: Japanese companies plan to develop the Senkaku Islands to drill oil.
-2024: The first prototype of the 6th generation fighter Mitsubishi F-X is tested. Japan continues in its path towards militarization.
