Shōwa crisis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shōwa financial crisis refers to the period in 1927 when Emperor Hirohito took the throne. It is believed that the Great Kantō earthquake of 1923 helped bring on this depression which caused many banks and factories to close down, two years before the Great Depression in the United States. Japan took on a more government-involved approach to the economy in response.
