"You can't imagine how much more work I had when I was a god." Also known as Emperor Shōwa, who was Japan's longest-reigning monarch and the head of state during WWII?

As the 124th emperor of Japan, Hirohito ruled the empire and then the state of Japan (after WWII ended) until his death in 1989. Historians debate whether Hirohito had much power over Japan's conquests during the war, as most believe military advisors took charge. Some suggest he was a pacifist, while others believe he was proactive in military affairs.
