Meiji period
The Meiji period (明治時代, Meiji-jidai), also known as the Meiji era, is a Japanese era which extended from September 8, 1868 through July 30, 1912. This period represents the first half of the Empire of Japan during which Japanese society moved from being an isolated feudal society to its modern form. Fundamental changes affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded with the reign of Emperor Meiji after 1868, and lasted until his death in 1912. It was succeeded by the Taisho period upon the accession of Emperor Taisho to the throne.
Meiji Restoration
On February 3, 1867, the 14-year-old Prince Mutsuhito succeeded his father, Emperor Kōmei, to the Chrysanthemum Throne as the 122nd emperor.
Imperial restoration occurred the next year on January 3, 1868 with the formation of the new government. The fall of Edo in the summer of 1868 marked the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and a new era, Meiji ("enlightened rule"), was proclaimed.

In 1543, a group of Portuguese traders on a Chinese boat drifted to the island of Tanegashima, becoming the first Europeans to set foot on Japan, and also initiating direct commercial and cultural exchange between Japan and the West. This period of trading was called the Nanban trade period, during which matchlock firearms, galleon-style shipbuilding, and Christianity were introduced to Japan. When the Warring States period ended, fear of the extensive influence of Christianity in Japan and a threat to his power from the Western countries, Tokugawa issued the Sakoku policy (“closed country”) that isolated Japan from the outside world.
In 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States Navy arrived south of Yokohama, putting an end to Japan’s 220 years of isolation. Under threat of force, in 1854, Japan had to sign the Treaty of Kanagawa bringing a plethora of unfavorable agreements to Japan itself. After Emperor Komei died, and his son was crowned Emperor Meiji, civil unrest continued, making it hard for the new ruler Tokugawa Yoshinobu to maintain his power, leading to his resignation in November 1867. In 1868, the Boshin War and the subsequent fall of Edo finally overthrew the Shogunate, marking the end of this Tokugawa military dictatorship and the beginning of the Meiji era.
After taking the throne in January 1868, Emperor Meiji had implemented a comprehensive reform called “Meiji Restoration”, which was followed by an era of major political, economic, and social change in Japan, leading to its modernization and westernization. By 1871, the administrative reorganization successfully dismantled the old feudal system, abolished feudal class privileges and replaced feudal domains with a system of prefectures. During the Meiji period, Japan underwent a rapid transition towards an industrial economy. Besides significant changes in politics, education and economics, the modernization and enlargement of the Imperial Japanese Army played a key role in Japan's expansion abroad.
The Japanese invasion of Taiwan under Qing rule in 1874 in response to the Mudan Incident of 1871 marked the first overseas deployment of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy. By the 1890s, the Imperial Japanese Army had grown to become the most modern army in Asia, bringing Japan dozens of glorious victories.
After consolidating its control over Hokkaidō and annexing the Ryukyu islands, Japan began its territorial expansion. After the First Sino-Japanese War, Taiwan was ceded to Japan. The Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) was another victory for Japan, giving the country control over the southern half of Sakhalin. Korea, following the Japanese invasion of Korea, was also annexed to Japan in 1910.
In the early 20th century, the Taishō era marked Japan’s increasing expansionism. In 1940, Japan joined the Axis powers formed in response to its ally with Germany and Italy through the signing of the Tripartite Pact in Berlin.
As part of Japan's ambition to dominate the Pacific, in 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on a U.S. naval base on Pearl Harbor, followed by other campaigns targeting British armies in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong triggered the outbreak of World War II.
Although World War II which culminated in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 ended with Japan being occupied, giving all its colonies to Allied powers and losing millions of lives, Japan has revived phenomenally from the ashes of this bloody war.
During the post-war recovery period, Japan recorded a period of high growth which transformed the Japanese economy and society significantly. From an isolated nation, Japan had emerged as the most developed and modernized nation in Asia and as an industrialized world power.
Do you think what is the decisive factor for the development of Japan?
And how did Japan recover so quickly after World War II?

The Meiji Restoration was a period of significant political and social change in Japan that lasted from 1868 to 1912. It marked the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji era and resulted in the modernization of Japan's political and economic systems.
The Meiji Restoration was initiated by a group of young, liberal-minded samurai who sought to overthrow the shogunate (feudal military government) and restore power to the emperor. In 1868, the shogunate was overthrown, and the imperial court was relocated from Kyoto to Tokyo. This marked the beginning of a new era in Japanese history, characterized by rapid modernization and Westernization.
One of the key features of the Meiji era was the introduction of a new, centralized government, with a constitution and a system of elected representatives. The government implemented a series of reforms aimed at modernizing the economy and strengthening the military. This included the establishment of a modern monetary system, the introduction of a new tax system, and the establishment of modern schools and universities.
Another major aspect of the Meiji era was the introduction of new technologies and ideas from the West. This included the introduction of Western-style clothing, the adoption of a Western-style calendar, and the introduction of Western-style education. Japan also established diplomatic relations with several Western countries and began to participate in international organizations.
The Meiji era was also characterized by territorial expansion and the acquisition of new territories. This included the colonization of Hokkaido and the Ryukyu Islands and the annexation of the Korean peninsula in 1910. The Meiji era was a period of rapid growth and expansion for Japan and saw the country emerge as a significant world power.
However, the Meiji era was also characterized by social and cultural changes that were not always positive. The rapid modernization of Japan brought with it a loss of traditional cultural values and practices, and many Japanese felt that their way of life was being threatened. The Meiji era was also characterized by growing social inequality, as the modernization process favoured the wealthy and powerful.
In summary, the Meiji Restoration was a period of significant political and social change in Japan that lasted from 1868 to 1912. It resulted in the modernization of Japan's political and economic systems, the introduction of new technologies and ideas from the West, and the emergence of Japan as a major world power. The Meiji era was a time of rapid growth and expansion, but also saw the loss of traditional cultural values and practices and growing social inequality.

Japan may well have the record for World's Speediest Industrialization, but how did they accomplish so much so fast without falling victim to Europe's favorite 19th century pastime of "Colonization"? And how did Japan build up a Pan-Asian empire so darn quickly? All that and more in this deep-dive into the Meiji Restoration!

08:11 Japan after WWII and till today
In 1543, a group of Portuguese traders on a Chinese boat drifted to the island of Tanegashima, becoming the first Europeans to set foot on Japan, and also initiating direct commercial and cultural exchange between Japan and the West. This period of trading was called the Nanban trade period, during which matchlock firearms, galleon-style shipbuilding, and Christianity were introduced to Japan. When the Warring States period ended, fear of the extensive influence of Christianity in Japan and a threat to his power from the Western countries, Tokugawa issued the Sakoku policy (“closed country”) that isolated Japan from the outside world.
In 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States Navy arrived south of Yokohama, putting an end to Japan’s 220 years of isolation. Under threat of force, in 1854, Japan had to sign the Treaty of Kanagawa bringing a plethora of unfavorable agreements to Japan itself. After Emperor Komei died, and his son was crowned Emperor Meiji, civil unrest continued, making it hard for the new ruler Tokugawa Yoshinobu to maintain his power, leading to his resignation in November 1867. In 1868, the Boshin War and the subsequent fall of Edo finally overthrew the Shogunate, marking the end of this Tokugawa military dictatorship and the beginning of the Meiji era.
After taking the throne in January 1868, Emperor Meiji had implemented a comprehensive reform called “Meiji Restoration”, which was followed by an era of major political, economic, and social change in Japan, leading to its modernization and westernization. By 1871, the administrative reorganization successfully dismantled the old feudal system, abolished feudal class privileges and replaced feudal domains with a system of prefectures. During the Meiji period, Japan underwent a rapid transition towards an industrial economy. Besides significant changes in politics, education and economics, the modernization and enlargement of the Imperial Japanese Army played a key role in Japan's expansion abroad.
The Japanese invasion of Taiwan under Qing rule in 1874 in response to the Mudan Incident of 1871 marked the first overseas deployment of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy. By the 1890s, the Imperial Japanese Army had grown to become the most modern army in Asia, bringing Japan dozens of glorious victories.
After consolidating its control over Hokkaidō and annexing the Ryukyu islands, Japan began its territorial expansion. After the First Sino-Japanese War, Taiwan was ceded to Japan. The Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) was another victory for Japan, giving the country control over the southern half of Sakhalin. Korea, following the Japanese invasion of Korea, was also annexed to Japan in 1910.
In the early 20th century, the Taishō era marked Japan’s increasing expansionism. In 1940, Japan joined the Axis powers formed in response to its ally with Germany and Italy through the signing of the Tripartite Pact in Berlin.
As part of Japan's ambition to dominate the Pacific, in 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on a U.S. naval base on Pearl Harbor, followed by other campaigns targeting British armies in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong triggered the outbreak of World War II.
Although World War II which culminated in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 ended with Japan being occupied, giving all its colonies to Allied powers and losing millions of lives, Japan has revived phenomenally from the ashes of this bloody war.
During the post-war recovery period, Japan recorded a period of high growth which transformed the Japanese economy and society significantly. From an isolated nation, Japan had emerged as the most developed and modernized nation in Asia and as an industrialized world power.
Do you think what is the decisive factor for the development of Japan?
And how did Japan recover so quickly after World War II?

The Meiji Restoration was a period of significant political and social change in Japan that lasted from 1868 to 1912. It marked the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji era and resulted in the modernization of Japan's political and economic systems.
The Meiji Restoration was initiated by a group of young, liberal-minded samurai who sought to overthrow the shogunate (feudal military government) and restore power to the emperor. In 1868, the shogunate was overthrown, and the imperial court was relocated from Kyoto to Tokyo. This marked the beginning of a new era in Japanese history, characterized by rapid modernization and Westernization.
One of the key features of the Meiji era was the introduction of a new, centralized government, with a constitution and a system of elected representatives. The government implemented a series of reforms aimed at modernizing the economy and strengthening the military. This included the establishment of a modern monetary system, the introduction of a new tax system, and the establishment of modern schools and universities.
Another major aspect of the Meiji era was the introduction of new technologies and ideas from the West. This included the introduction of Western-style clothing, the adoption of a Western-style calendar, and the introduction of Western-style education. Japan also established diplomatic relations with several Western countries and began to participate in international organizations.
The Meiji era was also characterized by territorial expansion and the acquisition of new territories. This included the colonization of Hokkaido and the Ryukyu Islands and the annexation of the Korean peninsula in 1910. The Meiji era was a period of rapid growth and expansion for Japan and saw the country emerge as a significant world power.
However, the Meiji era was also characterized by social and cultural changes that were not always positive. The rapid modernization of Japan brought with it a loss of traditional cultural values and practices, and many Japanese felt that their way of life was being threatened. The Meiji era was also characterized by growing social inequality, as the modernization process favoured the wealthy and powerful.
In summary, the Meiji Restoration was a period of significant political and social change in Japan that lasted from 1868 to 1912. It resulted in the modernization of Japan's political and economic systems, the introduction of new technologies and ideas from the West, and the emergence of Japan as a major world power. The Meiji era was a time of rapid growth and expansion, but also saw the loss of traditional cultural values and practices and growing social inequality.
Meiji period
The Meiji period (明治時代, Meiji-jidai), also known as the Meiji era, is a Japanese era which extended from September 8, 1868 through July 30, 1912. This period represents the first half of the Empire of Japan during which Japanese society moved from being an isolated feudal society to its modern form. Fundamental changes affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded with the reign of Emperor Meiji after 1868, and lasted until his death in 1912. It was succeeded by the Taisho period upon the accession of Emperor Taisho to the throne.
Meiji Restoration
On February 3, 1867, the 14-year-old Prince Mutsuhito succeeded his father, Emperor Kōmei, to the Chrysanthemum Throne as the 122nd emperor.
Imperial restoration occurred the next year on January 3, 1868 with the formation of the new government. The fall of Edo in the summer of 1868 marked the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and a new era, Meiji ("enlightened rule"), was proclaimed.
