Abstract

[The emergence of Japan as a modern industrial state began with the demise of the Tokugawa shogunate and the formation of a government that restored leadership to the imperial family. The last of the shoguns was forced to relinquish power in 1867, after which time control of the government was put back into the hands of the Meiji emperor, although members of the three powerful clans initiating the Restoration retained control of government policy. From that date it took only 20 years for the Japanese to completely change their country. The map in Figure 9.1 shows Japan and its Pacific islands.]
