CHRONOLOGY

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.

compare torrez’s view of the long term impact of spanish rule in new mexico with the long term impact of metacom’s war

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Torrez’s view of the long-term impact of the Spanish rule in New Mexico and the long-term impact of the Metacom’s war is different in many cases. Torrez viewed the impact of Spanish rule in New Mexico as more beneficial. The technology, food, and tools that were spread to the region by the Spanish were used by the Pueblos. These factors became a prominent part of their life, as they started using cattle, sheep, fruit trees, and more for survival and nourishment. Many also proceeded to convert to Christianity and were influenced by the teachings of the Franciscans. However, the impact of the Metacom’s War was less significant. These wars were over the desire of the Europeans to pressure the Native Americans off of their lands, so they can get control. The Europeans tried to get the natives drunk so they can cheat them into bargains and other processes. However, the long-term impact doesn’t ultimately show that the Natives benefitted, but rather that they were involved in a string of battles against European powers. Also, these European powers fought over each other for control, and also fought against the indigenous people. The long-term impact was not beneficial, but rather that a string of battles took place, and there was more violence between the natives and the colonists. However, both revolts are similar in the way that the cause of the revolt was the colonists abusing the labor and relationship between the natives and the colonists. The root cause of the revolts is extremely similar in this sense.
