What is it that makes Japan the country it is today? From the arrival of the black ships to the death of Emperor Meiji, this was almost a 60-year period that completely changed the destiny of Japan. In 1853, the actual ruler of Japan, the Tokugawa Shogunate, declared the founding of the country. In 1867, the shogunate returned power to the emperor, and the reformists announced the "restoration of royal rule." In 1875, Japan announced that it had entered a preparatory constitutional period. In 1890, Japan held a parliament, and then began its crazy expansion, launching the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Naval War and the Russo-Japanese War. The victory of the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War made Japan a world-class power. In 1912, Emperor Meiji died and the Meiji era came to an end. It was the end of an era and the beginning of another crazy era.
Reader comments
This book is rich in content and vividly depicts the historical changes in Japan during the Meiji Restoration period. It reminds me of "Clouds over Sakagami", which also tells the story of Japan's rise and change. The book mentioned that "the 'Kingdom of Samurai' was changed one day more than 160 years ago." This sentence impressed me deeply and made me full of curiosity about that era.
Why is there no ending?
This kind of foreign history written by Chinese people is so catchy to read.
