The Beginning of Globalization in East Asia ("classics and Interpretations" Issue 57)
About This Novel
In modern times, almost all Asian and African countries have become colonies or semi-colonies of Western powers. Only Japan, located in East Asia, has not only maintained its sovereignty and independence and avoided the fate of colonization, but even left Asia and joined Europe in an attempt to change the foundation of its civilization. This period of Japan's history can be used as a sample for our understanding of the history of modern globalization. The process of realizing Japan's modernization was as "smooth" as sliding on ice. Investigating its root cause, the Oriyo regime (the rule of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi) characterized by military and commercial affairs was the turning point. Its series of policies paved the way for Japan's modernization.
