By the spring of 1945, it became apparent to allied leaders that taking berlin would be the ultimate end to the war in europe. t

Both The US, UK, and USSR knew that annexing the the Nazi heartland in Berlin would end the war within the European theatre through and allied victory. Early in 1945, Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt agreed to meet to discuss the postwar political environment of Europe. Even though they agreed to separate Berlin into separate zones, both the US and USSR feared one another's influence would be stronger over postwar Europe (as the UK would not be as dominant a power due to exhaustion from the war). Therefore, it was a race for both sides to reach Berlin first, as it was believed the first to get there would have a stronger influence over the events following Germany's loss in WWII

Japan, 1800–1900 A.D.

Overview

In the nineteenth century, Japan experiences a dramatic shift from the conservative, isolationist policies of the shōgun-dominated

Edo period

to the rapid and widespread drive to modernize and engage with the rest of the world that characterizes the Meiji Restoration. During the first half of the century, decades of fiscal and social disruption caused by the growth of a market economy and a complex monetary system in a country that is still officially based on agriculture, which supports both the farming and privileged but unproductive

samurai classes

, continues to weaken the country in general and the

Tokugawa regime

in particular. Increasingly aggressive intrusions by Western powers not only puts pressure on Japan but convinces its political leaders that the Seclusion Policy has limited the country’s participation in technological advances and worldwide changes and also handicapped the economy by restricting its involvement in global trade. Taking advantage of the disruption caused by these internal and external crises, in 1867 several powerful daimyo (regional warlords) band together and overthrow Shōgun Yoshinobu (1837–1913), forcing him to resign authority. Marching into the imperial capital Kyoto, they “restore” Emperor Mutsuhito (1852–1912) to power and establish the Meiji (“enlightened rule”) Restoration.

In the name of Emperor Meiji, numerous striking and far-reaching social, political, and economic changes are legislated through a series of edicts. Japan also opens its borders, sending several high-ranking expeditions abroad and inviting foreign advisors—including educators, engineers, architects, painters, and scientists—to assist the Japanese in rapidly absorbing modern technology and Western knowledge. Throughout the century, however, the drive to Westernize is paralleled by continued isolationist tendencies and a desire to resist foreign influences. Eventually, as has happened numerous times in the nation’s history, after the Japanese assimilate what has been borrowed, they use these imports to formulate a new but distinctly Japanese modern society.
