What were the background and conditions of the Meiji Restoration in Japan?

The main contents include enriching the country and strengthening the army, colonizing and developing industries, civilization and enlightenment, establishing a centralized political system, advocating learning from Western social culture and habits, introducing modern Western industrial technology to develop the economy, and referring to the German Army and the British Navy for army reform.

The main content actually contains many aspects, first of all, it is also very developed from the economic aspect, in addition, from the sports aspect, and from some literary and cultural aspects, there are many developments, there are many contents, these can be seen from some aspects.

The content of the Meiji Restoration in Japan includes three aspects: politics, economy, and culture. Politically, the feudal domain was abolished, and economically, land was allowed to be bought and sold. Culturally encouraging learning from the West.

The abolition of the feudal domain is now encouraged to buy and sell.

Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan was a country that valued agriculture over commerce like the Qing Dynasty, and Japan had many similarities with the Qing Dynasty. The same is true of the same closed state, the same backward in industry in terms of ideas. At that time, Japan had some similarities with the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and they also realized that if they did not reform, they might lose the country, but one realized it earlier and the other later.

The power of the West has given them a sense of crisis, and that sense of crisis has forced them to reform.

At first, the Japanese refused to face the "invasion" of Westerners under the perennial feudal mentality, but eventually succumbed to the fire of Westerners.

After the first Satsuman opened its port to foreigners, other daimyo lords continued to imitate and learn from it. The reason why they were able to succeed in the reform cannot be completely attributed to their spirit of daring to learn, and there are some accidental factors in this. There are two main reasons why Japan was able to easily break through the shackles of the feudal economy, the crisis within Japan's own feudal society and the pressure from Western countries.

The Qing Dynasty also went through this stage, but this huge empire could not be changed by saying that it could be changed.

Japan underwent reforms under internal decay and external pressure, and after a brief period of severe pain, the Qing Dynasty went through a long time. In this regard, Japan and the Qing Dynasty have undergone a subtle change, which is also a qualitative change, even after the Restoration, there is still a certain gap between Japan and the Qing Dynasty.

Japan was ruled by the shogunate before the Meiji Restoration, and after the Meiji Restoration, the emperor became the de facto ruler. The emperor was both a monarch and a ruler, and the era of more than 700 years of monarchy without real power came to an end.

In Japan, where power has been centralized, the decentralization of policy has been implemented at a rapid pace. Even so, Japan, which had begun to westernize in an all-round way, had only the strength to compete with the Qing Dynasty before the First Sino-Japanese War.

Although the Qing Dynasty had lost many wars before the First Sino-Japanese War, it was still a great power in the eyes of Western countries.

In that era of underdevelopment, population and land area determined the size of a country, and although the Qing Dynasty was decaying, the emaciated camel was larger than the horse, and Japan still could not compare with the Qing Dynasty when it had just completed the Meiji Restoration.

It can be said that before the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty never put Japan in its eyes. Whether it is economic or military, although Japan is in a state of prosperity, it is still not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty.

Japan was a very backward country in the early stage of the Meiji Restoration, and at that time it was not as advanced as our country at that time, and it only developed after industrial reform.

It was a relatively chaotic country, and it was dependent on China at the time, and it was one of China's vassal states, so the Meiji Restoration changed Japan a lot.

They were also feudal before that, shelved by warlords. But because of the Meiji Restoration, they became very strong.

The Black Ship Incident of 1853 made Japan deeply aware of its gap with the West, and the Meiji Restoration began in 1868, which experienced a fierce collision between old and new forces, and finally ended in the victory of the reformists. From 1868 to the First Sino-Japanese Naval War in 1895, Japan rose rapidly in less than 30 years and finally defeated the Qing Dynasty, which fully said that the superiority of the system determined the strength of the country.
