Meiji Restoration explores Japan's remarkable transformation from a feudal society to a modern global power during the Meiji period (1868-1912). This pivotal era witnessed rapid modernization across all sectors. One key aspect was the strategic dismantling of the old feudal system, which paved the way for a centralized government capable of enacting sweeping reforms. Simultaneously, Japan embraced the Industrial Revolution, adopting Western technologies to rapidly build its economic and military strength. The book examines how Japan navigated the challenges of Western influence while striving to maintain its cultural identity. It highlights the agency and strategic thinking of Japanese leaders who recognized the urgent need for modernization to avoid colonization. The narrative progresses by first establishing the political and social conditions of Tokugawa Japan, and then delves into the establishment of the Meiji government. Later chapters detail industrialization, military restructuring, and cultural shifts, culminating in Japan's emergence as a global force, thus challenging simple narratives of Western imposition.
