2.Learning new material.

Teacher:

Today we will take a trip to a country that has a very strange name. - “The country is the opposite.” And there is every reason for this. In this amazing country the coat is handed over by a woman, the steering wheel in the car is on the right side, here they write from bottom to top, eat with chopsticks, sleep on the floor, and white is a mourning color.

What country do you think we are talking about? - Yes, this is Japan.

On islands in salty waters

An ancient country lay.

From states, other areas

She is so different.

The tsunami destroyed the coast,

And many times every year

The ground suddenly shook

And people died at the same hour.

Culture develops there

Houses have been built for centuries.

And what was born here for the first time -

Never died. (verse read to Japanese music)

Today we will try to understand and get to know this amazing and unique country. To do this, we will draw up a comprehensive geographical description of the state and try to get to know the people, their traditions and culture better.

We write down the date and topic (show the topic on the board) of the lesson in a notebook.

Since ancient times, the Japanese have called their country Nippon. This name consists of two hieroglyphic characters, the first of which means “sun”, and the second - “base”.

No wonder the Japanese flag has a red circle on a white background. Red circle on a white field (“Hinomaru”, i.e. “sun flag”). The white background means purity and integrity, the red circle means warmth, brightness and sincerity.

The coat of arms of Japan features a chrysanthemum. For the peoples of the country, this flower is a kind of personification of wisdom and prosperity.

The Japanese are a mystery of our century; they are the most incomprehensible, the most paradoxical of peoples. The Japanese are unlike any other people in the world. These are the most sensitive, lively, artistic natures and at the same time the most imperturbable, impractical and silent people.

Japan is a highly developed state, a G8 country. And as you already know, the development of any country is determined by a number of factors. One of them is geographical location.

Let us consider the features of the economic and geographical position. He won’t tell you about them... (a first-year student tells)

1. Economic and geographical location

Japan is not just a country, but an archipelago country located in East Asia on four large islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu. And almost seven thousand small islands. This is a whole island world! It was formed as a result of the collision of the Pacific and Eurasian lithospheric plates. Japan Square 377 972 thousand km 2 . ( it is 45 times smaller than our country and ranks 62nd in area among other countries in the world)In the north, Japan is washed Sea of Okhotsk, in the east - the Pacific Ocean, in the south - the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea, in the west - the Korea Strait and Sea of Japan. (student's message)

Tasks 1:

Find on political map Which countries does Japan have granite with? (with China viaEast China Sea), with Korea (separated by the Sea of Japan). North of Japan is the Far East, geographical area Russia. (La Perouse Strait)

Task 2: Label these objects on contour map p.17. Objects are shown on the screen.

Objects:

Islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu.

Seas: Okhotsk, East China, Japan.

Straits: Korean, La Perouse

Neighboring countries: China, Korea, Russia

- What features of the geographical location do you think could most influence the development of the country? ( seaside location, distance from markets of other countries)

Task 3:

Write down in your notebook 1st option the positive, 2nd option the negative features of the economic and geographical position. (check) (the table after checking is displayed on the slide)

Positive features

Negative traits

Isolation (island country).

Proximity to the East Asian shores and Russia.

Remoteness from raw materials and sales markets.

Access to the seas and ocean.

Conclusion: (formulated by the teacher) So, summing up the results of the EGP, we can draw the following conclusion: the EGP of Japan is quite profitable. A favorable feature of Japan's economic and geographical position is, first of all, that it is located in the center of the Asia-Pacific region, and this opens up great opportunities to participate in the international geographical division of labor. The disadvantage is that Japan is remote from most countries, which makes the integration process difficult. (write in notebook)

2. Japan's form of government - this is a constitutional monarchy, an empire (what types of monarchies do you still remember, name them; how do they differ from a constitutional monarchy; go and show other monarchies in Asia on a political map) The head of state is Emperor Akihito.

- According to the administrative-territorial structure of Japan - unitary state.

- Capital of Japan – Tokyo, which means “Eastern Capital”, located on the island of Honshu.

3. Population

Teacher's story:

The Japanese state, according to legend, arose in 660 BC. This is an ancient state with its own public and unspoken traditions and foundations. At the center of Japanese society there has always been not an individual, but a close-knit team with strict subordination of members of the hierarchy.The Japanese believe that the main wealth of their country is people with their ability and desire to work.

There are no strangers between us! We are all brothers to each other, under the cherry blossoms. (these are lines from a Japanese poem). Family, school, company - the three main links in the life of every Japanese.

Let's listen to a student's message about the peculiarities of Japanese society. While listening to the messages, write down in your notebook the words that you associate with Japan.

Teacher's story:(shown on screen)

The population of Japan is 126,960,00 people (2.01% of the world's population).

China

1 381 963 000

1 301 390 000

324 932 000

260 581 100

205 739 044

195 875 722

160 991 563

146 797 031

126 960 000

Go and show the listed countries on the wall map.

Average population density - 336 people per km 2 . Most of the population lives in cities. Japan, unlike other Asian countries, is characterized by the first type of population reproduction. -What is the peculiarity of the first type of reproduction. The noticeable decline in the birth rate is explained, first of all, by the desire of the Japanese to improve their standard of living, as well as by the government policy of birth control. The ethnic composition of the population is extremely homogeneous. This is a typical single-ethnic country, where the Japanese make up 99% of the population. National minorities include the Ainu living on the island of Hokkaido. IN major cities Koreans and Chinese live there. The Japanese language is specific and does not belong to any language family. Japanese writing uses both hieroglyphs and syllabaries. The Japanese are a very religious nation. The religion that came to Japan from India is Buddhism. The Japanese belief system is Shintoism.

Japan is a nation of healthy people with the most low rate child mortality in the world is 4 per 1000 (in the USA - 8 per 1000; in Russia - 18 per 1000) and the most high level life expectancy (men - 76 years, women - 82 years).

4. Now let's look atnatural conditions and resources Japan.Characteristics of nature and natural resources

Task 4: Using the textbook text, write down the natural features of the country.

Japan is a mountainous country. Shecovered with highlands, low and medium-altitude mountains, they make up over 75% of the country's territory. Lowlands are located in separate areas along the coasts of the country. The largest lowland is Kanto, covering about 17,000 km². Highest point Fuji volcano 3776m.Forestsoccupy 2/3 of the country's territory. Rapids and short rivers Japan is a source of hydroelectric power and water for irrigating fields. The country is poor in mineral resources.Own mineral resources: coal, oil, iron ore, manganese ores, chrome ores, copper ores, lead, zinc, tin, mercury ores.

Task 5: find on the map and mark on the contour map deposits of your own minerals.

Conclusion: The country is poor in mineral resources. Therefore, other Natural resources. Forests are of particular value. Due to their rapidity and short length, numerous rivers are unsuitable for navigation, but are a source of hydroelectric power and water for irrigation. Nature on the Japanese islands is cruel. Earthquakes occur frequently. Typhoons cause significant damage.

5.Housekeeping

Let's get acquainted with the Japanese economy and try to answer the question. What is the Japanese miracle of Japan?

Japan is one of the main centers of economic power modern world. Coming out of World War II with a destroyed economy, Japan achieved stunning results in economic development, already in the mid-1970s, occupying second place in terms of GDP. It was among the first to step into the post-industrial era, achieving the status of one of the most important financial and scientific centers peace. After the war, it bought invention patents around the world and modernized its economy on this basis. She invested money in the development of science and research. She spent little money on weapons.

Factors of the “economic miracle” or the Japanese economic model:

The country adopted a democratic constitution, which laid down legal basis its economic well-being

An agrarian reform was carried out - large landownership was liquidated, the land was given to the peasants.

The Americans, having introduced antitrust legislation in the country, disbanded the zaibatsu financial and industrial groups.

The country's industry received multi-million dollar orders.

The defense of the country by the American army made it possible not to spend money on our own army.

Moreover, at this time there were relatively low prices on the world market for mineral raw materials and fuel.

The country saved enormous amounts of money for the development of its own R&D through the acquisition of licenses and patents.

Japan had cheap labor compared to other developed countries, and a labor management system was carefully developed.

Japan, after losing the war, had the right to spend no more than 1% of GDP on defense.

The country has always been characterized by a high degree of government regulation: every five years a plan or forecast is drawn up.

The entire territory of Japan can be divided into 2 parts: southern, southeastern, which is called the “front part”, where most of the production is located. And the northern, northwestern part is the “rear part”, which does not have such a high concentration of production and is a more environmentally friendly territory. An important feature of the economy is international economic relations, since 9/10 of the economy is import-oriented.

Ferrous metallurgy is one of the most important basic industries in Japan. The level of production automation is one of the highest in the world, although the dynamics of steel production in the country is falling. Of the 14 powerful plants in the world, 8 are located in Japan. - Non-ferrous metallurgy - develops almost entirely on imported raw materials. Mechanical engineering in Japan is the leading branch of its industry, ranking second after the United States. In terms of exports, the country's mechanical engineering industry ranks first in the world. Do you know the largest automobile companies in the country? (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda). To understand the reasons for the Japanese miracle in the automotive industry, you need to take into account not only high technology and technology, but also the high qualifications of all people involved in production, as well as the characteristics of the national character. Shipbuilding – the country is still a world leader in shipbuilding. The structure of production is characterized by the predominance of tankers and dry cargo ships; recently, the production of container ships intended for the transportation of goods has increased. Shipbuilding remains a sector of international specialization; the country provides more than 30% of world exports. The electronics industry began with the development of radio electronics. Japan is second only to the United States in the production of semiconductors and computers. Japan is a leader in the production of robots, VCRs, video cameras, and video cassettes. Electronics manufacturing companies (Hitachi, Toshiba, Fuji, Sony).

In the chemical industry, the main raw material is oil. Today, Japan is the second largest country in terms of chemical production after the United States.

Agriculture: Leading industry Agriculture is crop production. The main agricultural crop is rice; it is cultivated throughout Japan, with the exception of the extreme northern and eastern parts. Japan ranks 5th in the world in the production of vegetables and melons after China, India, the USA and Turkey.

Fishing is an important traditional sector of the Japanese economy. Japan ranks first in the world in terms of fish catch. There are more than 3 thousand fishing ports in the country.

Conclusion from the lesson: In today's lessons we visited one of the corners of our planet, where people, in defiance of nature, which did not give them sufficient mineral resources or land, reached such economic heights that many on Earth could envy them. Japan for the first time moved from the second to the first type of population reproduction. Japan is the second country in the world in terms of total economic power after the United States. Today the country is the largest financial center in the world. By national income per capita came in third place after Switzerland and Luxembourg. In terms of the level of development of many industries, it ranks first in the world: in shipbuilding, automobile production, machine tool building, production of general electronic products, robots, microelectronics products

I. Organizational moment.

II. Teacher's introduction: The Soviet-Japanese War of 1945 is one of the historical events that arouse controversial interest. To this day, many abroad believe that it was thanks to the atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima that the power of militaristic Japan was broken, which put an end to the entire Second World War. Unfortunately, this grandiose battle of the Second World War, despite its uniqueness and scale, still remains unknown or little-known in our country, which obviously prompts the desire of current Japanese politicians to increasingly oppose Russia with demands for the return of the “northern territories.” " This war left an extremely deep mark on history and remains, in fact, the only unsolved knot of the Second World War. Its consequences continue to have a strong influence on modern Russian-Japanese relations.

For me personally, the defeat of Japan is important: my grandfather, a major, fought here and could have died. He was wounded. He was awarded the medals “For Military Merit” and “For Victory over Japan,” which are carefully kept in our family. (demonstration of real medals to students)

And all of us Far Easterners are not indifferent to the history of the Second World War that swept across our lands. Among the guys present here there are residents of the Kuril Islands, Transbaikalia, Khabarovsk and, of course, . Today you will be given the honor of participating in liberation and offensive operations in your native lands. In addition, by entering the Suvorov Military School, you are preparing yourself for the profession of a military officer. A significant portion of you will serve Far East. This means that you need to carefully study and know the peculiarities of conducting military operations in the Far Eastern theater. Because if you want peace, prepare for war!

So the goals are clear, let's write down the topic of the lesson. (Slide No. 1) Let's get acquainted with the plan (Slide No. 2)

III. Presentation of new material on the following issues:

A) USSR and allies.

We present to your attention a fragment of the Potsdam Conference (Sketch “At the Potsdam Conference” on.) (Slide No. 3)

Your task: to determine what the allies agreed on.

B) Causes of the war with Japan. (Slide No. 4)

Work in groups. (General Staff of the Armies of the USSR and USA)

Using the information received from the leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition, your knowledge and the textbook text on the page, formulate at least 3 reasons for the war with Japan for your countries. Write down the reasons on the slide.

Assignment to the Japanese General Staff: look at the map of your possessions and determine where and how best to position your troops to defeat a potential enemy.

B) Combat plans. The “Map without a legend” technique based on statistical analysis. (Slide No. 5)

Map plans for warfare. (Japan, USSR. USA). .

Teacher's word. The interests of restoring peace required the speedy elimination of the Far Eastern hotbed of war. True to its allied obligations, the Soviet Union could not remain aloof from solving this important task. In 1945, the Soviet government denounced the neutrality treaty with Japan dated April 13, 1941, and in 1945 announced its entry into war with it.

D) Progress of hostilities (Slide No. 6-8)

Teacher's word. To study the course of hostilities, you will work in pairs with documents and a map.

You have the honor of liberating the territories of your small Motherland.

Transbaikal Front

Manchurian Front

Sakhalin

The Manchurian strategic offensive operation under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief of Soviet troops in the Far East, Marshal of the Soviet Union Vasilevsky. – 1945 troops of the Transbaikal, 1st and 2nd Far Eastern Fronts, forces Pacific Fleet and the Amur military flotilla carried out the Manchurian strategic operation, encircled and defeated the Kwantung Army, which numbered more than 1 million soldiers and officers, 6.6 thousand guns and mortars, over 1.2 thousand tanks, more than 1.9 thousand combat aircraft.

At the same time, the Yuzhno-Sakhalin (11 – ) and Kuril landing ( – ) operations were carried out. The Soviet Union returned to its composition Southern Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. The number of prisoners was about 593 thousand people. During the entire battle, the Red Army lost more than 36 thousand soldiers and officers, of which over 12 thousand were killed.

Over Hiroshima, and on August 9 over Nagasaki were exploded atomic bombs. As a result, two cities with their entire population were virtually wiped off the face of the earth.

1. What goals did the United States pursue?

2. Was it advisable to use atomic weapons?

Teacher's word. (Slide No. 11), Operation codenamed “August Storm” began in 1945, almost simultaneously with the bombing of Nagasaki. In two weeks of fighting, Japan lost 84,000 troops killed, and the USSR - 12,000. Soviet troops did not reach only 50 kilometers to the northern Japanese island Hokkaido.

This operation became one of the largest - in scale, impressive - in organization and design, and successful - in tactical execution - campaigns of World War II; V shortest time a territory equal to all of Western Europe was captured!

(Slide No. 12-16), Japan surrendered. The official act of surrender was signed on board the American battleship Missouri in 1945 by representatives of the USA, England, China, the USSR and Japan. Second World War ended.

The video "Surrender of Japan" is used to check the correctness of the topic.

E) The results of the war and the origins of victory. During the war, the Japanese army lost 677 thousand troops, in particular, 83 thousand were killed, 594 thousand surrendered. Victory Soviet army in the Far Eastern War, it accelerated the defeat of the Japanese fascists and contributed to the victory of China in the War of Resistance against Japanese Invaders.

Reflection: The “6 Thinking Hats” technique. (Slide No. 19-25)

Ratings. A word from the experts. Our lesson is coming to an end. I would like to believe that everything that was said today resonated in your hearts, and we will all remember the terrible days of the war, about those who gave their lives defending peace on Earth. Let us value life, no matter how difficult it may seem, and cherish and love the people whom fate has destined to be near you. The words “if only there was no war” are not just empty words. Everything can be experienced and overcome when there is no war on earth...
