2. The Meiji Restoration.

The Meiji Restoration refers to the top-down and capitalist nature of the comprehensive Westernization and modernization reform movement carried out in Japan at the end of the 60s of the 19th century under the impact of Western capitalist industrial civilization.

This reform began in 1868 when Emperor Meiji established a new Japan to carry out modern political reforms and establish a monarchy.

Economically, we have promoted "colonization and development," learned from European and American technologies, carried out a wave of industrialization, and advocated "civilization and enlightenment," Europeanization of social life, and vigorously developed education.

This reform made Japan the first country in Asia to embark on the road of industrialization and gradually became one of the world's great powers, which was the beginning of Japan's modernization and an important turning point in Japan's modern history.

Emperor Meiji came to the Meiji Restoration.

Japan, which became rich and strong, took advantage of its strong national strength to gradually abolish the unequal treaties signed with the Western powers, recover national sovereignty, and get rid of the crisis of becoming a colony. In the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, it defeated the Qing Empire and Russia respectively, and became a powerful Asian power. However, many problems were left behind by his reforms, such as the excessive power of the emperor and the still serious land annexation, which interacted with a series of social problems that were difficult for Japan to solve in the future, and made Japan embark on the road of aggression and expansion. Then, with the rapid improvement of economic strength, the military strength was also rapidly strengthened
