Japan consists of 6,852 islands called a stratovolcanic archipelago.
Wow that is a lot of islands! Do you know which one is the biggest?
There are four that are the largest. They are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. The make up 79% of Japans and area.
Oh yes I recognize the names now. What is the largest volcano on the island?
That I am unaware of, Honshu is the largest of all the islands and is the 7th largest island in the world.
Ok gotcha. Being an American, I always think of Hawaii when it comes to volcanoes and earthquakes- but Japan has its share also I guess.
Yes, they do. Japan is closer to Russia than any other country, even closer than Hawaii
Interesting. It would seem to me that they could work as allies if they wanted to at that close proximity.
Germany–Japan relations
The relations between Germany and Japan (, ) were officially established in 1861 with the first ambassadorial visit to Japan from Prussia (which predated the formation of the German Empire in 1866/1870). Japan modernized rapidly after the Meiji Restoration of 1867, often using German models through intense intellectual and cultural exchange. After 1900 Japan aligned itself with Britain, and Germany and Japan were enemies in World War I. Japan declared war on the German Empire in 1914 and seized key German possessions in China and the Pacific.
