is cooll
In the early nineteenth century, Japan was ruled by the Tokugawa shoguns and local lords had significant autonomy.
In 1853, the American Commodore Matthew C. Perry arrived in Japan with a fleet of steam-powered warships and demanded that the Japanese open their ports to trade and American ships.
Dissatisfaction with the shogun's capitulation to American and European demands led to a civil war and the overthrow of the shogunate in 1868.

Industrialization was accompanied by the development of an authoritarian constitutional
monarchy and a foreign policy that defined Japan’s “sphere of influence” to include Korea, Manchuria, and part of China.
Japan defeated China in a war that began in 1894 and set the stage for Japanese
competition with Russia for influence in the Chinese province of Manchuria. Japanese power was further demonstrated when Japan
defeated Russia in 1905 and annexed Korea in 1910.
Japan began to expand in the Pacific at the same time as the United States.

have a clue what was coming
Each nation felt that they were right and
justified in what they did and every other
nation was wrong – No compromise.
