The modernization of Japan began in the Tokugawa era. The American Perry's arrival forced Japan to sign unequal treaties as a trigger, triggering struggles among the emperor, the imperial court, the shogunate, and various vassals. They were finally unified under the slogan of "Breaking Treaties and Expelling the Aliens." Through the efforts of Yoshida Shoin, Sakamoto Ryoma, Okubo Toshimichi and other far-sighted people, Japan explored its own path to rise, leading to the collapse of the shogunate and realizing the country's modernization transformation.
