Japan In Transformation, 1853-1945
Visão Geral
In 1853 Japan had deliberately restricted contact with the outside world for over two centuries, was governed by a military aristocracy, and had almost no modern industry. Fifty years later it had a written constitution, a conscript army, a national railway network and had defeated a European great power in open war. Ninety years later it lay in ruins under foreign occupation, having lost a war it began itself.
No other country in this period changed so far, so fast, in both directions. The examiner's interest is in the mechanism: what allowed Japan to modernise at extraordinary speed, why the same state that built parliamentary politics in the 1910s and 1920s abandoned them in the 1930s, and whether the collapse of 1945 was built into the Meiji settlement from the start.
