The correct answer is: The samurai and daimyo restored the emperor to power and worked to reform Japan.
Indeed, Japan had remained fiercely isolated from the rest of the world for centuries. Japan especially mistrusted Western powers sine they had better technology and were extremely aggressive and powerful. In 1853, American Commodore Matthew C. Perry, arrived with four US military, steam-powered ships which were equipped with very modern and destructive guns. The Japanese had no means to oppose him in any manner and yielded to his demands, that Japan sign an official treaty if trade and commerce with the United States. This treaty, the Convention of Kanagawa angered many of the highest-ranking samurais for whom it was seen as a capitulation. They decided that Japan was way behind Western powers and that unless they imposed radical societal, economic reforms, they would be dominated by the West. They managed to remove Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last Shogun of Japan and restored the Emperor.
Traditionalist samurais were incensed by this action and a civil war ensued, which reformist samurais were able to win with the help of Western technology and military advisors. Most power was transferred to the Emperor and Japan started massively importing technology and methods of social organization from many different countries in the west.
There's really not a whole lot of truth to this statement. The dropping of the two atomic bombs of Japan were thought to be the only possible way to get Japan to surrender.
After the Battle of Bunker Hill, General Howe and the British realized that this war with the colonists would not be easy. Along with this, General Howe realized that this war would cost a lot of British lives.
The Battle of Bunker Hill is remembered as a strategic win for the British. However, the American colonists are remembered for their efforts in this battle. The American colonists were able to stop the British advancement multiple times. It was not until the third time that the British were successful in taking over the hill. This resiliency by the unorganized and under-supplied troops should that the colonists would be able to put up a fight against the world's strongest military at this time.

That statement is true.
Explanation:
They wave that is the first one to be recorded in the seismograph is called the Compressional primary wave (or the P wave). Secondary wave is recorded last on seismography because it has slower travel speed in rock compared to the compressional primary wave.
Even though it's slower, Secondary wave tend to have larger amplitude and shaky motions. This what caused the Secondary damage to create more damage in an earthquake compared to the P wave.
