The following is a quote: === "Top Secret Documents" regarding the historical incident, the "February 26th Incident," have been discovered. We delve into the "shocking whole picture" with new facts, including the Emperor's unknown remarks and the unknown actions of young officers. What we knew was only a fragment of the "truth" — On February 26, 1936, the "February 26th Incident" occurred, in which the Prime Minister and ministers were attacked in the heart of Tokyo, the capital. "Top Secret Documents" recording the entire course of this largest military coup in modern Japan were discovered in 2019. Until now, the only official documents related to the incident were materials from the Army Military Court compiled after the incident, and much of the incident has been shrouded in mystery. However, 83 years after the incident, "Top Secret Documents" recorded by the Navy during the incident were found. From the first report of the incident to its end, the tense "four days" were recorded minute by minute. The strategies that the Army's upper echelons were carrying out behind the scenes, the new fact that the Navy and Army were on the verge of "civil war," and the Emperor's unknown actions that had not been made public — experts who analyzed the documents were also stunned by the numerous "new facts" that remained in the documents. After the February 26th Incident, the power of the military expanded, and Japan entered the war. By deciphering the newly discovered top-secret documents, we approach the whole picture of the historical incident that threw the capital Tokyo into great confusion and became a turning point that divided the fate of the nation.
