Japan's Meiji Restoration 1
About This Novel
In June 1853, four American steam warships came to Edo, Japan, during the "Black Ship Arrival", breaking Japan's two-hundred-year-long policy of isolation. The actual ruler of Japan, the Tokugawa Shogunate, announced the founding of the country and signed a series of unequal treaties with Western powers; at the same time, Japan's "respecting and resisting faction" began a vigorous "overthrow" movement. By 1867, the shogunate returned power to the emperor, and the reformers announced the "restoration of royal government." After the abolition of vassals and the establishment of prefectures and the Southwest War, the cabinet system was implemented and a constitutional system was established, putting Japan on the road to becoming a rich country and strengthening its military. Subsequently, Japan began its crazy expansion and launched the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Naval War and the Russo-Japanese War. This book covers a total of 60 years of history from "The Arrival of the Black Ships" to the Russo-Japanese War. It provides a panoramic view of the historical process of the "Meiji Restoration" that transformed Japan from a small, poor and weak country into a modern and powerful country, as well as the expansion ambitions of Japanese militarism after the Meiji Restoration.

Every book written by the author is good.
