Hirohito "uncomfortable" with war but powerless to stop

Photo shows a British government assessment document declassified on July 20, 2017, by the National Archives in London on Japanese Emperor Hirohito. The document indicates the emperor was uneasy with Japan's drift to war in the 1930s and 1940s but was too weak to alter the course of events. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
