Kagome: goddess of Japan essay.

Author's note: this was published on my website for the series.

I have been too sick to really write the last few days, so, instead of a chapter, I'm going to put this up.

I am feeling somewhat better and I do hope to post a new chapter, probably sunday.

European history in Kagome's goddess world essay.

Sesshomaru in the years 1560 to 1580 will disrupt the course of European history. And, while his actions will, temporarily increase the fortunes of Spain, Ottoman Empire and Russia, as time passes the course of history will basically resume. The Dutch will revolt against Spain. England (which Spain, with Sesshomaru's help, conquered) will also revolt. The bad governments of Spain, Russia and the ottoman empires of the 1600's will allow those revolts to succeed.

But, the changes that Sesshomaru caused will mean that some of the exploration and colonization of the Dutch and England during the early 1600's will be done in the late 1600's.

So, as japan begins to expand, the European trade routes, colonies, etc. in the far east, and India are weaker than they are in real history.

In Real history England, France, and others fought among themselves as they conquered India.

In this world, that infighting, gives Japan an advantage and allows Japan to conquer India. This does cause European powers to try to work together, but they fail. (Too many old issues between the European nations for them to work together.)

Just as India is lost, japan announces that it will create a canal across Panama.

This causes Europe to retry a combined army command.

Armies are sent to Panama to fight Japan. In these battles, a young officer named Napoleon stands out. He is wounded in combat, but only after his army inflicts a defeat on a Japanese army. (The Japanese general was overconfident, and didn't prepare . . . ) Once back in Europe, he gains control over the combined army command.

Once in command, he sends out two diplomatic missions. To get the Ottoman empire and the Chinese empire to join Europe in fighting japan. They, after a period of time, do succeed.

But, the battle of Panama is lost. Cuba is invaded. (Another officer named Nelson becomes famous as his fleet manages to evacuate Cuba.)

Inu-yasha builds up an invasion fleet/army. He invades Europe in 1805. (Invasion force 125,000) Nelson, using a magically enhanced channel storm as a shield, attacks his fleet. Both the Japanese and European fleets are destroyed. Land battles besiege Inu-yasha in the city of Cherbourg. The archangel Michael kills Kagome's oldest son and wounds Inu-yasha.

Kagome, after building a new fleet and army, invades in 1808. (Invasion force 125,000)

Massive battles. Climaxing with a battle between Michael and Kagome.

After a continuous and massive battle . . . Kagome is left with 5,000 warriors. (Combined invasion total 250,000) European battle deaths, during the battle 1,000,000. The city of Cherbourg, even after 200 years, is a no-go area. The magic that was released there is still deadly . . .

But . . . the European army is destroyed.

Kagome marches on Paris. The sack of Paris. Napoleon refuses to surrender. Kagome releases a bio warfare agent. 5,000,000 die in a month. Europe unconditionally surrenders.

But . . . the chaos in China saves Europe from whatever plans Kagome had. She does not have the trained manpower to control Europe and china. And, since China is closer to japan, Europe is, basically left alone.

Scapa Flow (north of the UK), Gibralter, Malta and Cyprus are given to Kagome, as part of the surrender. (From there japan can over watch Europe/ottoman empire.) She also has the right to stop humans from destroying/damaging the environment in Europe.

The loss to Kagome forces the nations-states of Europe to become an empire under Napoleon.

(Technology . . . Shippo, as ambassador/chief spy, begins to fund groups that believe that Kagome's tech advantage is the work of the devil. These groups resist new tech, slowing European's tech growth. Eventually, the Japanese gold that funds those groups will be found and stopped, but, by that time, the groups have a life of their own.)

Europe tries to help its colonies. But, Japanese naval superiority prevent help (expect for small ships) from arriving.

Kagome's follows a similar pattern to the USA in WWII. She hops around a stronghold, placing a naval blockade around the place. (Small ships might sneak in, but, nothing large.) And sooner or later, they have to surrender.

Now . . .

Europe is an empire, ruled by a decedent of Napoleon. But, the catholic church has tremendous power.

Tensions between Europe and Japan are rising. War will come soon.

Why don't they get along.

First. Religion.

Second. Kagome's population control policies. She believes that there can only be so many humans alive on the earth at anyone time. And that number is a low number. So, the Japanese empire has strict population control laws. Europe's scientists arguing against her, believe that more humans can live on the earth. Right now, Europe & the Ottoman empire have about as many people in them as japan's empire. But, Europe/ottoman empire is growing faster, much faster. So, japan has to attack soon, or its population will fall behind. (Japan's empire has about 1 billion people, and so does Europe/ottoman empire. They can feed themselves by increased efficiency in the farming areas. So Europe/Ottoman empire is under intense pressure to expand, to increase the amount of food that can be planted.)

Third. Kagome's environmental policy. She has very restrictive rules. And, by her stats, the pollution that Europe is producing must be controlled. But, Europe's scientists, using looser rules that she does, say that more pollution can be done, without harming the earth.

Europe believes their scientists, so they refuse to control the population or pollution.

So, Kagome must, somehow, stop Europe's pollution and population growth. And, since everyone knows that war will increase the pollution problem. The sooner the war starts, the less damage it will do.
