Question:

Japan "Events" ?

Hiya, I got a pretty simple question. I need some information about important events that happened in japan; Time line dosent matter. I tried searching google and other threads here, but I keep getting information about Holidays and other things I dont want! So if anyone could help me that would be great. By events I mean important changes within japan.

Links would be best, or the name of the event at least. :]
