They also redistributed land. This is significant because it shows how the Japanese government was able to benefit and organize their communities and establish laws. In Doc 1 written by the Roman historian, Florus in c.150 says that there should not be a war with slaves and men should not be forced to follow the rules of a cruel ruler.

Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, born April 10, 1794, is credited for opening American trade with Japan. Prior to his expedition to Japan, he gained a wide range of experience in the navy, through various global expeditions. It was through these expeditions that those in higher ranks saw his capabilities and tasked Commodore Perry with the mission of opening trade with Japan. Strategically, the United States saw that opening trade with Japan was crucial as it did two things: firstly, it gave their ships a place to restock and refuel while traveling to China, who was already a trade partner of theirs, and it would also help establish America as a power in East Asia, enabling them to be competitive with other European nations that were also
It was only after these trade deals had been abolished that Japan could see economic growth such the prosperity seen in Russia. Both countries saw as a result of increased manufacturing a rise in cheap consumer goods, increasing factory labor, a rise of the middle class and economic prosperity as a result of specialized labor previously uncommon such as lawyers, doctors, teachers and pharmacists. Lastly, industrialization benefited both Japan and Russia as increased trade and free markets resulted in a diverse availability of luxury goods, as well as an increased amount of people attending schools, museums, plays and other forms of entertainment. These led to urbanization as fewer people partook in agriculture and large cities such as Moscow and Tokyo flourished with the economic prosperity of the nations.
(The Japanese become more and more isolated and it was made worse because of the political crisis in Japan) When in May 1832 prime minister Inukia Tsuyoshi was murdered by a right-wing extremist the democratic promise ended.

Before this industrialization in 1968, was the Boshin war, which was directly responsible for the Meiji Restoration, due to the fact that after the war, Japan wanted to have one central power, which resulted in Japan’s government wanting to become like an already successful government with one central power, America, however they did not want America’s culture, but merely the style of government, which resulted in Japan becoming much more western. Then after the war, the Meiji Restoration started, which was the new government taking over Japan, this started a westernization movement in Japan, and during this westernization, industrialization started, and then it settled all throughout Japan, building factories, and machines. Similar to this, Russia experienced the Crimean war, which was essentially a wake-up call for Russia to industrialize after it’s terrible loss to both Britain and France, to add to the losses, after that, Japan and Russia fought, and Russia lost horribly, which shocked the entire
They achieved those things mainly through expansion. In 1932, Japan established Manchuria, a puppet state located southeast of the Soviet Union. Later, in 1937 Japan began its occupation of China.(Document B) The Japanese were wary to bomb Pearl Harbor although they had planned it for a year, 80% of Japan’s oil came from the U.S. (Document D) On August 1, 1941, the U.S. cut off all trade of oil, steel, and scrap iron with Japan.
Revolution, by its very definition, represents change. Change is an inevitable, unstoppable side-effect of the passage of time and human innovation. In the 18th and 19th century, it was this innovation and ingenuity that fueled the fire of the Industrial Revolution in America. Great men, immigrants and Americans alike, created a golden age of technology and industry, thrusting the country onto the world stage of business, economics, and politics. America was no longer sustained by agriculture and the farmer, but by the never tiring steam engines, machines, and the cheap labor of immigrant workers.
After the war the new constitution drafted by the united states made japan into a constitutional monarchy so that sovereignty would lay with the people instead
The Industrial Revolution transformed society into a well oiled machine. It took place between 1760 and around 1820 to 1840. The industrial Revolution meant a transition into many new manufacturing processes. It took place in the United Kingdom (Great Britain). The reason it took place here was because the UK had a greater head start on commercial and technological advances than the rest of the world did at the time.
Tokugawa started withdrawing Japan into seclusion, away from outside influences (pg. 381). Some new members of the Franciscan Order tried getting into Shogunate’s internal affairs and he acted by putting the Christian missionaries out, and by putting pressure on the Christian Japanese to convert back to Buddhism (pg. 383). Per the textbook on page 383, true power in both a military sense remained with shogun and a political member of the Tokaugawa clan acted in the name of the Emperor.
During his era the Ottoman Empire experienced spectacular economic growth and that lead up to the golden age of the Ottoman empire(Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. 1). This age was filled with knowledge and wisdom and the culture was mixed with different backgrounds of people and religion. Sultan Suleyman had a lot of nicknames and one of them is the lawmaker as Suleyman was the first sultan to create law and rules, before Suleyman other Sultans would follow the rules of the Holy Quran only, but Suleyman saw that creating new rules that are mixed with the sharia and it was called Kanun. During the golden age of the Ottoman Empire experienced new arts, different cultures and religions which shaped the empire in a way that it can interact with the people in a positive way by letting everyone live in peace and by their beliefs(Yalman, Suzan
(Carrol) Japan was very traditional during the Tokugawa Shogunate; there were a number of changes under the shogun rule in Japan which were very similar to those seen in the industrial revolution in England. The shogun also tried to close japan to western influence, by prohibiting things such as Christianity
“To guard against external influence, they also worked to close off Japanese society from Westernizing influences, particularly Christianity. When the Tokugawa shogunate grew increasingly weak by the mid-19th century, two powerful clans joined forces in early 1868 to seize power as part of an “imperial restoration” named for Emperor Meiji.” This restoration was the beginning of the end of feudalism, or the way of structuring society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labour, in Japan. The Tokugawa regime acted to exclude missionaries because of suspicion of foreign intervention and colonialism. Eventually, they issued a complete ban on Christianity in Japan.
But also change within the military occurred with the replacement of Samurai authority. Trying to be equal competitors in world power as their Western neighbors. Japan had gotten imperialist ideas from 1853 when the U.S. black ships steamed
