    Japan’s cultural and political structure changed from being a weak isolated nation to a modern imperialist country. Before Japan westernized, it was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. This was an agricultural economy with a population of 13 billion. Japan did not associate with any other country because they believed foreign influence was a destabilizing factor. This resulted in overcrowded farms and scarce minerals. In 1853, Commodore Perry came to japan with his big black ships. The technological advancements of the ships shocked the japanese. They ended isolationism and opened trade ports in order to avoid destruction. Failure of success, in 1868 the Tokugawa shogun was overthrown and emperor Meiji had complete power. During this time, Japan was very decentralized. There were several semi-independent feudal lords. The emperor saw how Japan was at a great disadvantage from being in isolation for so many years. He knew that in order to strengthen Japan, change was needed. This resulted in the Meiji Restoration. By 1912…

    In the early years of American history, most political leaders were reluctant to involve the federal government too heavily in the private sector, except in the area of transportation. In general, they accepted the concept of laissez-faire, a doctrine opposing government interference in the economy except to maintain law and order. This attitude started to change during the latter part of the 19th century, when small business, farm, and labor movements began asking the government to intercede on their behalf.…

The British got what they wanted and made major profit. After the Chinese Emperor's assault on the opium market, the British made great strides to push for free trade.

    In 1853 Commodore Matthew Perry led a squadron of black ships to the coast of Japan, threatening to use military force unless Japan ended its policy of national seclusion. The Tokugawa shogunate ended their state of national isolation and let Perry enter Japan. This encouraged the samurai from southwestern domains to overthrow the shogunate (“An introduction to the Samurai,” n.d.). When the rule was restored to the emperor the samurai were stripped of their power and force to lay down their weapons, the samurai lost many stipends which some samurai were not too happy with. The samurai who opposed this change started a rebellion led by Saigô Takamori in 1877, but the rebellion failed and 40,000 samurai were defeated by the imperial army (Gordon, 2008). The Meiji restoration abolished the samurai and transformed Japan from feudal warrior state to a parliamentary government.…

    The roots of this sudden change in ideology can be attributed to the arrival of Commodore Perry 's American naval squadron in 1853, appearing to open Japan but in actuality the country had exploded from within. None the less the success of Perry’s expedition triggered a collapse of Japan’s self-imposed isolation and the fall of the feudal shogun government. This allowed for a complete overhaul of the country creating a Japan in 1912 that faintly resembled itself forty-five years prior. Though throughout the Meiji period, conflicts arose over how much Japan should emulate or borrow from the Western powers. Just as opinions divided between kaikoku (open the country) and jôi (expel the barbarians) after Commodore Perry landed in 1853, tensions continued…

    Laissez-faire is an economic environment in which transaction between private parties are free from tariffs, government subsidies, and enforced monopolies, with only enough government regulation sufficient to protect property rights against theft and aggression. The phrase laissez-faire is French and literally means “let them do”. But it broadly implies “let it be”, or “leave it alone”.
