Britain, or The British Empire “In 1869 Queen Victoria’s second son, Prince Alfred, travelled to Japan on an official visit. His arrival coincided with a crucial moment in Japanese history, for the Tokugawa shogunate had just been overthrown by a new government under the nominal leadership of the Meiji emperor. The new regime was torn between those who wished to expel the west and those who realised that Japan had to adapt itself to the modern world. The prince’s visit couldn’t, therefore, have been better timed for it showed that Britain was prepared to treat Japan with respect. It also drew the country towards the European orbit. Britons would soon be playing a role in the modernising of many aspects of Japanese life, not least the creation of its navy and industrialisation.” They also were the only country to recognise them as a real empire. In fact: “In February 1902 Japanese students staged a torch-lit parade around the British legation in Tokyo to celebrate the fact that their country had just signed an alliance with Britain. Japan - a nation that had only brought its policy of seclusion to an end 50 years earlier - was now the ally of the world’s greatest power” Victorians were also weebs and were fascinated with Japanese culture, and Japanese were … angloweebs? Not really a term for it. But what I find craziest is that the United States NEVER liked them besides trading. The United States, Australia and Canada also pleaded with Britain to stop being friendly with them as Japan were becoming more and more aggressive towards everyone else. But British Japanese relations were permanently damaged by the treatment of British POWs during WW2. This led to such a negative view of Japan that Hirohito’s visit in 1971 was protested against. Interestingly, the United States did the opposite; going from hatred to love affair. Nowadays? Idk.

You forgot an important part of the military's involvement in the civilian government. Those clans that supported the Meijii restoration were handed control of the army, while those who supported the rebellion, got control of the navy; which resulted in competing foreign policy goals. Being rivals before they existed, the army and its supporters wanted nothing to do with the goals of the navy and its supporters, and vice versa. The army wanted China, and the navy the colonies of the US, UK, France and Nederland. So, fierce was this disagreement that the Japanese army and navy routinely assassinated each other's politicians and even prime ministers. At one point the two services had a three-day war with each other over their differences. The Emperor and the foreign ministry did not control foreign policy, but the military did ... but at the platoon level! The Marco Polo Bridge Incident was initiated by the local army captain in charge of the detachment guarding the bridge. The Japanse-Soviet Boarder War of 1939, was carried out by two army generals and one air force commander, without either the commanding general of Manchuria, the foreign minister, or the emperor knowing about it. The USS Panay incident on December 12, 1937 was carried out by the local naval commander and the naval air force commander, who wanted Japan to go to war with the U.S. per the desires of the Japanese navy. In other words Imperial Japan was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but on steroids.

There was some trade with China, Korea, and possibly nearby Russia, but it was very controlled and NO FOREIGNERS ALLOWED IS, NO JAPANESE ALLOWED OUT very much applied (oh you got shipwrecked on Japan, and you're not Japanese, congratulations on your pending execution, better leave before you're fount).

Minor corrections: the first major coup in korea was what koreans call the 1883 rebellion. The officials leading this coup wanted korea to follow in Japan's footsteps in terms of reform, and asked the Japanese garrison in korea for support- which the Japanese didn't provide. The Donghak rebellion was in 1894.

The US military strategy was to aim at Japan and take those islands necessary. Russia made huge inroads into Japanese held territory towards the end of ww2.

Japan in the mid 19th century was relatively prosperous, despite lack of international trade, and had a highlevel of literacy, 80% of males, which is rather remarkable considering how difficult it is to read Japanese and Tokyo was also one of the largest cities in the world, at over 1 million. The rice trading companies had accumulated exceptional amounts of capital as well as financial, managerial and mercantile expertise. The revolution that overthrew the Bakufu relied upon the Emperor, who functioned more as a religious symbol, return to rule as its mantra. The Oligarchs that overthrough the Bakufu, were, like the Bakufu, the real ruling party, but there identification with the Emperor provided for a greater degree of national cohesion. Given its relatively high level of prosperity, high literacy, sufficient capital, and strong cohesion, the Oligarchs were able to implement a centralized effort of national development.

I like the way you make the last figure wave goodbye

Glad you are back!

thank you ten minute history and can make a documentary about the war of spanish succession.

Great work on those videos, love your style! After the thirty years' war which I'm sure will kick ass can you please do the US since 1783 (post-independence era)

Awesome channel and content to! Been binging all the episodes haha

Man your videos are always worth the wait.

I'm Singaporean and the fact that Singapore the gibraltar of the east fell in 7 days was just hilarious

Its even funnier when a country tens of times larger falls in just 6 weeks. So relativley speaking, Singapore didn't fall that fast.

​@@eternalcanadiandevyt I agree that it is hilarious when France capitulated but Singapore wasn't a country then and its reputation as a brand new fortress of the British east made the fall funny. Leningrad didn't fall in 2.5 years, Gibraltar didn't fall in 6 years, but Singapore fell in 7 days.

0:09 “OPEN THE COUNTRY, STOP HAVING IT BE CLOSED” Japan: 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fun fact: Japan used a very modern cruiser that it bought from Chile (and built by the UK), renamed Izumi, after Chile's victory in the Pacific War of 1879-1884. This strange connection between Chile and Japan came to be after the japanese praised chilean war hero Arturo Prat as a rolemodel for the Bushido code, and to this day he, alongside Admiral Nelson, are the only foreigners in the "hall of fame" (for lack of a better word) at the Naval History Museum in Etajima

The acceleration of the Japanese expansion was slowed down when it took them more than three months to completely subdue Philippine American forces in Corregidor, Bataan. Macarthur had already left to help prepare in defending Australia and those months that took the Japanese to take down Bataan, gave the Allies the time to strengthen Australia thus effectively stopping Japanese Expansion in the Pacific.

0:13 Going through your videos again because they are awesome... oh and there was one notable exception to this rule. The dutch. Why? I forgot. I do remember that they were considered different to all other Europeans. Probably because they didn't try and convert everyone like the Portuguese had. The Dutch presence continued at Nagasaki. I seem to recall that the British did try to sneak in a couple of times but didn't convince anyone.

thank you, that was helpful!

I do love the little ‘soon’ signs

You should do two videos. 1. The wars of the 18th century, including the War of the Spanish and Austrian Successions. 2. The late Spanish and Portuguese Empires.

No, actually it is Kyōto and Tōkyō. Or 京都 and 東京.

Japan is one of two countries that never got colonized by Europeans. Emperor Meiji saved Japan from colonization, Commodore Perry's fleet was a wakeup call. Lets just say japan woke up

your script is great. your voice sounds a bit corrupted, but that hardly matters in the light of such marvellous scripting. Also, I like your drawings and on-screen texts.

Never did I imagine that Japanese History would be so interesting! Thank you!

It IS crazy how many parallels between the development between Germany and Japan there are. Even the specific time periods are so similar
