These events, and the strategies and policies\u003cbr\u003e\nthat produced them, have been hotly debated ever since. The end of the Pacific War did\u003cbr\u003e\nnot merely end World War II, but determined the power structure in Asia for subsequent\u003cbr\u003e\ndecades. It is imperative to understand 1945, whose legacies affect the peace and stability\u003cbr\u003e\nof the region to this day Ð for example, in the disputes over the Senkaku Islands, the\u003cbr\u003e\ndivision of Korea, and the status of Taiwan. This full day event will include presentations from Richard B. Frank, author of Downfall:\u003cbr\u003e\nThe End of the Imperial Japanese Empire; prolific naval analyst Norman Friedman;\u003cbr\u003e\nD. M. Giangreco, author of Hell to Pay; David Glantz, author of The Soviet Strategic\u003cbr\u003e\nOffensive in Manchuria, 1945; John T. Kuehn, author of A Military History of Japan; and\u003cbr\u003e\nRichard C.
