📜 History of the End of the Samurai: The Imperial Army - Now that the Boshin War was over, the Meji Emperor could finally settle into the bloodless revolution and start modernizing Japan. Well... Maybe not so bloodless. It turns out that once in charge, the Emperor believed that the best way forward for the country was to embrace Western ideas and begin growing in that direction: the exact opposite position of the factions who fought on his behalf during the Boshin War. And one of those factions was the samurai warrior class which had no place in the society Japan was forming.

1. Tokugawa didn’t just retire, he joined the House of Peers and I think one of their descendants married into the imperial family. 2. The Koreans didn’t recognize the Meiji emperor because the Koreans thought that they were comparing emperor Meiji to the emperor of China whom the Koreans believed befitted the kanji that the Japanese used in that diplomatic correspondence. 3. I hope I’m not jumping the gun but I want to push back a bit on the idea of restoring power to the emperor. The Genro held the power in the Emperor’s name. They created this centralized autocracy whose goal was to protect the emperor from any actual decision making. They could give him the credit for successes and insulate him from failures. It’s really important to dig into this system since it worked well while the Genro were alive and able to direct state policies, but after World War I and the Genro were all dying off it left Japan in a situation where the military didn’t have to listen to civilian government while the Emperor Showa either could not or would not do anything to rein them in.

1:58 (Not so) fun fact: The White Tiger unit or the Byakkotai in Japanese is a reserve unit made up of young, teenager age samurai boys. They're like 16-17 years old, and the youngest was only 13. They retreated to a hill overlooking the Wakamatsu castle and saw what they thought was the castle on fire. Thinking that their side have been defeated, the entire unit commited suicide there. Only 1 survivor among 20 boys. It's tragic but poetic somewhat.

@charityquill4965 6 месяцев назад

I suppose that was a smart move on the imperial government's part to honor them, because the war is messy as hell and it's hard to say if there's really a "right" or "wrong" side in this whole series of battles, revolts, and rebellions. So commemorating those young boys as a tragic loss in war, rather than dismissing them as simply enemies of the emperor, was a very honorable thing to do.

Saigo Takamori's plan is actually pretty smart from his perspective. he could insure that the Samuri kept their lands and status by using the old samuri system in Japanese colonial possessions. that way he and his Samuri buddies get to still live large and be far enough away that reformers might consider them not worth taking out during modernization.

When did the imperial government also pardon the Aizu Clan for siding with the Shogunate in the Boshin War? I’m saying this because I remember watching a Smithsonian channel documentary about a famous samurai warrior queen, an Aizu Samurai whose name is Takeko Nakano. Her clan fought on the side of the Shogunate during the Boshin War. From what we know the shogunate was defeated and as a result, most of the clans loyal to the Shogun including the Aizu, were forced into exile to the northern island of Hokkaido. Since we all know that Hokkaido would also fall under imperial rule. The biggest question that I want to know of course is when was the Aizu Clan pardon by the Imperial government for siding with the Shogun in the Boshin War?

By giving everything up to emperor actually protected the interest of Choshu domain. Most of the daimyos were lack of military strength after Boshin War that only Choshu and Satsuma retained their power because they were the victor. Remember the daimyos surrendered their military to the emperor, not the state. Military leaders were also former samurais are still in control of their own military without parliament's oversight because they sworn loyalty to the emperor but not to the nation of Japan. It is very complicated power struggle for the next 76 years after Boshin War until the end of WWII among military, parliament, and the emperor.

@SusCalvin 3 года назад

There's a lot of samurai around. The class grew during years of civil war and it's hard to rescind feudal privileges. Lots of them have already started looking for other jobs that their class status would allow them to perform. You aren't expected to become a samurai farmer but they started to fill out the ranks of magistrates and teachers etc. A lot of the police units, officer corps and administrators of the imperial government are repurpoused samurai. But there's still a lot of them who aren't part of the in-group.

They had flintlock firearms which they used extensively, but they were obsolete, in insufficient numbers, and most definitely not enough to take down a steam warship and a modern army.

Hello, Could you please do a video on Cosijoeza. He was a Zapotec ruler, one of the few rulers to defeat the Aztecs, and a master doplomat. I would really appreciate it if you did a video by him.

I like to imagine Saigo explaining his plan with finger guns. "Huh? Huh? Sounds good right?" *finger guns*

To add a little something here, the Battle of Shiromaya was a turning point in Japanese history. The samurai army led by Saigo Takamoria of the Satsuma domain was surrounded and outnumbered 60 to 1. 30,000 imperial troops vs 500 samurai. This battle ended an era in Japan.
