8) Think about what you have learned about the shogunate in Japan. Overall, do you think it was a
period that produced gains for Japan, or one that slowed down its development? Give reasons for your response.

1) During the Meiji period, Japan adopted a constitution and a parliamentary system, instituted universal education, built railroads and installed telegraph lines, and established strong army and navy forces.

2)The samurai lost their class privileges when the government declared all classes to be equal. By 1876 the government banned the wearing of the samurai's swords; the former samurai cut off their topknots in favor of Western-style haircuts and took up jobs in business and the professions.

3)The military history of Japan chronicles a vast time period over three millennia from the Jōmon 1000 BCE into the modern-day. It is characterized by a long period of clan warfare until the 12th century CE. This was followed by feudal wars that culminated in military governments known as the Shogunate. Japanese history is distinguished by that the military class with the Shōgun ruled Japan for 676 years from 1192 until 1868 CE. The Shōgun and samurai warriors were near the apex of the Japanese social structure. Only the aristocratic nobility was nominally above them. The sakoku policy closed Japan from foreigners for 212 years from 1641 to 1853. Feudal militarism transitioned to imperialism in the 19th century after the arrival of Admiral Perry and the elevation of Emperor Meiji. Japan was influenced by western colonial powers and Western imperialism in Asia. This led to Japanese colonialism and rampant imperialism until Japan's defeat in World War II. The 1947 Constitution prohibits Japan's ability to offensively use war against other nations. This led to the Japan Self-Defense Forces. The U.S.-Japan alliance requires the United States to protect Japan and to conduct offensive duties. In 2015, the Constitution was reinterpreted to allow collective self-defense of its allies. Thus Japan has a long military tradition with extensive militarism. Today, Japan has the 4th most-powerful military in the world.
