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.

How did President Roosevelt and President Hoover differ in their approaches to dealing with the Great Depression?

Romashka [77]

President Roosevelt and President Hoover differed in their approaches to dealing with the Great Depression because Roosevelt did many things to get the economy back in shape, while Hoover wanted to tackle the problem, but didn't want to get in depth with it.

________________________________________________

President Hoover had an impression that the stock market crash during 1929 was just a simple error in the market, and that it could easily be fixed. He said that it would be fixed if everyone acted normal and act like the stock market crash never happened. The government intervention for him was not a solution.

_________________________________________________

President Roosevelt became president right after Hoover, and he noticed the problem the stock market crash had on people in the economy. The thing that he did is that he made a lot of public works projects. For example, the Works Projects Administration, was a organization which gave people short-time employments to keep them on the right track, and get the stock market crash off their minds and give them some income. He also made "bank holidays" which didn't allow people to take all of their money out of their bank account. He was doing many things to fix the economy from the Great Depression.

Slaves did not just capitulate to their situation. What were some ways slaves

artcher [175]

Some ways that slaves resisted slavery was by rebelling, being less productive at work, stealing from their owners, and sometimes actually harming their owners (or just other white people). The slaves demonstrated a sense of semi-independence or self- worth through having their own subculture with their own unique music, having a religion and their own churches to tie them together, as well as celebrating their African roots and traditions. Slave masters allowed some of these behaviors so as to avoid their slaves becoming really aggressive towards them, as well as giving the slaves some "freedoms" encouraged and motivated slaves so they didn't get too hostile.
