What did the League of Nations do about Japanese action in Manchuria in 1931?
Japan invaded Manchuria in September 1931. China appealed to the League of Nations, and the League sent a delegation to Manchuria to investigate. A year later, September 1932 (by which time Japan had conquered al of Manchuria), the League’s delegation reported that Japan was in the wrong and that Manchuria should be returned to China. More time passed. Finally, in February 1933 (by which time Japan had also attacked other parts of China) the League of Nations held a vote. Forty countries voted to condemn Japan’s action in Manchuria and demand that it withdraw. One nation – Japan – voted against. Instead of withdrawing from Manchuria, Japan resigned from the League of Nations. The League did nothing more. The idea of bringing economic sanctions against Japan was debated. But that debate went nowhere, because Japan’s main trading partner, the USA, was not even a member of the League (and so it would not abide by any sanctions). The other big trading countries did not want to give USA a monopoly of trade with Japan, so none of them wanted economic sanctions. There was not even an embargo on selling armaments to Japan. This fiasco demonstrated that the League of Nations had no power to intervene successfully in international disputes.
Which action in Japanese History occured during the meiiji restoration?
Hey Wayne, For your question about which “action” occurred during the Meiji Restoration I was wondering if you were looking for a social, political or economic action that occurred during this time period. I have done some initial research on this topic through the Encyclopedia of Britanica: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/373305/Meiji-Restoration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiji_Restoration (Wikipedia would also be a great place to start if you want to view various aspects of the Meiji Period.) One of the most famous “actions” in Japanese history that occurred during the Meiji Restoration is that Japan modernized its economy. The Japanese focused on modernizing Japans economy to compete with Western nations. In the Meiji Period from 1862-1912, Japan reversed its policy of isolation, ended feudalism, and began to modernize by borrowing from Western powers. The goal of this era was to make Japan a strong military and industrial power in order to avoid becoming a victim of imperialism. Japan spent a great deal of time imitating the Western powers by creating a modern army, constructing a fleet of iron ships and adopting a constitution based off of Prussia with the emperor as the head. Further Japanese leaders sent students abroad to learn about Western forms of government, economies, technology and customs. I hope that this information helps you, should you need to find additional sources just let me know! -Harry

[JAPANESE-GRAMMAR] is this sentence correct for casual use of japanese?
-少し日本語が話せできるよ => 少し日本語が話せるよ。 is correct. If you want to use できる, you do it like this: 日本語を話すことができる. -桜が見たい Correct. You can also replace が with を, but the meaning is then slightly different. With が it implies that you want to see nothing but the cherry trees (only the cherry trees), whereas with を it could mean that there are other things you want to see. -今はテレビを見ます => 今はテレビを見ている 。(or 見ています, but you said to write it the casual way) When you want to say that you're doing an action that continues for some time, you use the て form of the verb + いる. 日本語を勉強している。 I'm studying Japanese. ゲームをやっている。 I'm playing a game. -あなたと行きたい、二人だけ。 Seems OK to me. You could also say 二人きり in this case. Oh, and instead of あなた, using the person's name would be better. If you wanted to structure the sentence more grammatically correct, you would say: あなたと二人きりで行きたい。 If you mean the て form as in 食べて, 待って and so on, that has several uses. When combined with いる, it indicates that the verb is progressive, equivalent to the English "-ing something." Another one is to describe actions that happen consecutively, that is one after another. One such example is the one you'll see and hear pretty much everywhere, and that's the てくる combination which means "do something and come back/return (literally come)." 飲み物を買ってくる。 I'll go buy a drink and return. When listing multiple actions, each verb except the last one is in the て form, and the last one dictates when these actions occur. The future tense is the dictionary form of a verb or the ます form when you want to be polite. Thus, 食べる and 食べます mean "I will eat." "I'll cheer for you." is 応援（おうえん）するよ。 "I'm going to meet him tonight." is 今夜は彼に会いに行く。 If there's something you find confusing, just ask. :)

How do say this sentence in Japanese?
You would put "hisashiburi ni" at the beginning of the sentence and then the verb would either be the past tense or negative past tense. 久しぶり に これ を 食べたん だ ね。 it's been such a long time since I ate this. 久しぶり に ゆっくり しなかった な。 It's been a while since I didn't take my time doing something.
