Both the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the efforts of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in the German Empire were focused on unifying, strengthening and modernizing the government and economy of their nations.
Bismarck led the way in uniting the many German states and principalities into a single, powerful German Empire, created in 1871. In Japan, prior to the Meiji Restoration, shogun rule (rule by military leaders) held control over part of the country, but feudal warlords maintained much power in their own lands. In 1868, shogun rule was ended and the emperor was restored to full power over the country.
A push for rapid industrialization characterized both Germany and Japan in the latter portion of the 19th century.
A key difference, however, was that the various German states had already begun industrializing before Bismarck came to power in Prussia and led the creation of the united German Empire. Bismarck's government strongly backed and increased industrialization efforts. In Japan, before he period known as the Meiji Restoration, Japan was not focusing on industrialization. Feudal arrangements persisted. But the new emperor took the name "Meiji," meaning "enlightened rule." And under the reign of Emperor Meiji, which lasted till 1912, Japan aggressively pursued modernizing and westernizing it economy and way of life.
To create lasting peace in Europe he proposed a League of Nations. This was part if his fourteen points.

The main reason why Mongols so easily and successfully conquered most of Eurasia lies in their discipline and organization.
Explanation:
- the bulk of the army consisted of Mongolian cavalry dominated by archers;
- the siege techniques he developed with Chinese experts and engineers were adopted and refined;
- there was strict discipline in the army - unlike the widespread behavior characteristic of most armies of the time;
- The Mongols had unrivaled and extraordinarily effective intelligence that allowed them to maneuver speed as well as apply psychological warfare through the spread of rumors;
- special couriers called arrows were introduced. Their social standing was higher than that of princes and colonels. They rode the fastest horses and if they got tired they could take the fastest horse to anyone and continue on;
- It is estimated that over 40 million people were killed during their conquests. At that time, when less than one billion people were inhabiting our planet, this number seems almost impossible, and some historians consider that figure to be much higher;
- There are sources who claim that after the Mongol invasion, China's current population declined from 120 million to 60 million. Some theorists go so far as to claim that their bloody pyre has drastically and even positively affected the planetary ecosystem;
