And so comes the resentment and freedom and rights movement, Japanese people used to rebel, strike and make satires a lot, though this movement was later hijacked by the samurai remnants who were only interested in conquering Asia, liberals were still active for some time before Japanese government start to suppress dissents, especially democrats and socialists.

@@thomaskelly336 What the fuck about Mate,this has nothing to do with anything with Africa,the reason why Japan was able to advance like this was that they're were way more Unified and had a more organize system to realize they had to advice to survive which they were lucky that the Western Powers decided to Trade with them rather than Conquer,also no tribes at the time we're ready to really have a country and ones that did were conquered,also Africa's Climate is way different from Asia's which made it extremely hard to communicate and share technology between tribes to eventually make Countries,also to add like look at the diversity of Africa like Fucking Nigeria has 4,000 languages which just showed how divided these people were which really messed up the development of the places,I explain more if you want but if you really want to figure out this for yourself just go study some History which would help you understand the problem

Britain, or The British Empire “In 1869 Queen Victoria’s second son, Prince Alfred, travelled to Japan on an official visit. His arrival coincided with a crucial moment in Japanese history, for the Tokugawa shogunate had just been overthrown by a new government under the nominal leadership of the Meiji emperor. The new regime was torn between those who wished to expel the west and those who realised that Japan had to adapt itself to the modern world. The prince’s visit couldn’t, therefore, have been better timed for it showed that Britain was prepared to treat Japan with respect. It also drew the country towards the European orbit. Britons would soon be playing a role in the modernising of many aspects of Japanese life, not least the creation of its navy and industrialisation.” They also were the only country to recognise them as a real empire. In fact: “In February 1902 Japanese students staged a torch-lit parade around the British legation in Tokyo to celebrate the fact that their country had just signed an alliance with Britain. Japan - a nation that had only brought its policy of seclusion to an end 50 years earlier - was now the ally of the world’s greatest power” Victorians were also weebs and were fascinated with Japanese culture, and Japanese were … angloweebs? Not really a term for it. But what I find craziest is that the United States NEVER liked them besides trading. The United States, Australia and Canada also pleaded with Britain to stop being friendly with them as Japan were becoming more and more aggressive towards everyone else. But British Japanese relations were permanently damaged by the treatment of British POWs during WW2. This led to such a negative view of Japan that Hirohito’s visit in 1971 was protested against. Interestingly, the United States did the opposite; going from hatred to love affair. Nowadays? Idk.

You forgot an important part of the military's involvement in the civilian government. Those clans that supported the Meijii restoration were handed control of the army, while those who supported the rebellion, got control of the navy; which resulted in competing foreign policy goals. Being rivals before they existed, the army and its supporters wanted nothing to do with the goals of the navy and its supporters, and vice versa. The army wanted China, and the navy the colonies of the US, UK, France and Nederland. So, fierce was this disagreement that the Japanese army and navy routinely assassinated each other's politicians and even prime ministers. At one point the two services had a three-day war with each other over their differences. The Emperor and the foreign ministry did not control foreign policy, but the military did ... but at the platoon level! The Marco Polo Bridge Incident was initiated by the local army captain in charge of the detachment guarding the bridge. The Japanse-Soviet Boarder War of 1939, was carried out by two army generals and one air force commander, without either the commanding general of Manchuria, the foreign minister, or the emperor knowing about it. The USS Panay incident on December 12, 1937 was carried out by the local naval commander and the naval air force commander, who wanted Japan to go to war with the U.S. per the desires of the Japanese navy. In other words Imperial Japan was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but on steroids.

There was some trade with China, Korea, and possibly nearby Russia, but it was very controlled and NO FOREIGNERS ALLOWED IS, NO JAPANESE ALLOWED OUT very much applied (oh you got shipwrecked on Japan, and you're not Japanese, congratulations on your pending execution, better leave before you're fount).

Minor corrections: the first major coup in korea was what koreans call the 1883 rebellion. The officials leading this coup wanted korea to follow in Japan's footsteps in terms of reform, and asked the Japanese garrison in korea for support- which the Japanese didn't provide. The Donghak rebellion was in 1894.

Japan in the mid 19th century was relatively prosperous, despite lack of international trade, and had a highlevel of literacy, 80% of males, which is rather remarkable considering how difficult it is to read Japanese and Tokyo was also one of the largest cities in the world, at over 1 million. The rice trading companies had accumulated exceptional amounts of capital as well as financial, managerial and mercantile expertise. The revolution that overthrew the Bakufu relied upon the Emperor, who functioned more as a religious symbol, return to rule as its mantra. The Oligarchs that overthrough the Bakufu, were, like the Bakufu, the real ruling party, but there identification with the Emperor provided for a greater degree of national cohesion. Given its relatively high level of prosperity, high literacy, sufficient capital, and strong cohesion, the Oligarchs were able to implement a centralized effort of national development.

Fun fact: Japan used a very modern cruiser that it bought from Chile (and built by the UK), renamed Izumi, after Chile's victory in the Pacific War of 1879-1884. This strange connection between Chile and Japan came to be after the japanese praised chilean war hero Arturo Prat as a rolemodel for the Bushido code, and to this day he, alongside Admiral Nelson, are the only foreigners in the "hall of fame" (for lack of a better word) at the Naval History Museum in Etajima

​@@yuyoshida2076 I always had the impression that the japanese during this period wanted to be the hegemony power in asia, not a equal to the rest of the asian peoples, exemplified by the Twenty-One Demands on China, as well with the annexation of Taiwan in 1895 and Korea in 1910, but i admit, the methods to achieve that were very "mild" compared to what came after. However i still wonder if the "Japanization" of asia wasn't always the plan, regardless of the League's decision and if the japanese brutality wasn't always there just waiting for an opportunity, after all japan was a feudal country with a very strong warrior culture that became a industrialized powerhouse in less than a generation, it was bound to happen, equality for all, on my opinion, was never on the negotiating table for the japanese, they wanted to be considered an equal power and that's all.

@@Yuri_630 Until the Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese war, the main objective of the Japanese state was to develop as quickly as possible and become prosperous enough that the western powers would be unable to colonize the country, as they had done to most parts of the world in the 1800s. Since the Shimonoseki Treaty in 1895, Taiwan was acquired, Ryojun was acquired, and Choseon (The kingdom that ruled Korea at the time) was liberated from being a vassal of the Qing. Japan’s main objective for Taiwan was to develop it as an agricultural powerhouse that provided food for the Japanese home islands. This needed the state to develop the island to maximize production, leading to the education of the Taiwanese people, development of infrastructure to improve the quality of life, and transferring agricultural technology to Taiwan. Once Choseon had been liberated, Japan had intentions on improving relations with the country, hoping that the two states could ally up against future attacks from foreign powers. However, Choseon had failed at developing in the following years as the upper class were divided in their ideas for the state, eventually ending in the conservatives winning and as a result, failed to develop that well. These conservatives were more pro-Russia than pro-Japan, as the opposition that had lost were pro-Japan. This led to Japano-Korean relations souring, and led to the Russo-Japanese war to occur, among other factors. Once Japan had won, foreign intervention of Choseon from other powers were reduced. In 1909, Choseon had requested to be annexed by Japan, and that led to the annexation to happen the next year. In the 35 year period after, infrastructure was developed, education was provided for many children for free, the hierarchical system was abolished, allowing slaves to be treated as normal people. Japan’s later change in foreign affairs was also heavily influenced by the meddling of countries such as the USA and UK, and that led to the extremities that followed from the nationalization of the Japanese Empire.

The acceleration of the Japanese expansion was slowed down when it took them more than three months to completely subdue Philippine American forces in Corregidor, Bataan. Macarthur had already left to help prepare in defending Australia and those months that took the Japanese to take down Bataan, gave the Allies the time to strengthen Australia thus effectively stopping Japanese Expansion in the Pacific.
