In the 19th century, Japan's samurai era ended, and the country transformed from a secluded feudal society into a modern industrial superpower. From sweeping political reforms to rapid industrialisation, this is the story of how Japan reinvented itself in just decades and emerged as a formidable global power.
Joining us is Dr Chris Harding, a cultural historian of Japan and India from the University of Edinburgh.

西洋が過去に植民地で行った、そして現在も経済植民地で行っている悪行を覆い隠したい意図が滲み出ていることを自覚できていないんだな。
Saga Rebellion (1874), Shinpūren Rebellion (1876), Hagi Rebellion (1876), and the major Satsuma Rebellion (1877).
Also a number of peasant revolts and protests against new policies such as the new conscription law and land tax revisions (1873). Conscription Law of 1873 (Chōheirei) in Meiji Japan triggered widespread resistance and violent uprisings, often referred to as peasant riots or "blood tax" riots. This is also because the conscription laws were also issued at the same time as land taxes.
の発言は絶対にない。日本人の言うことを聞こうともしない。脅迫外交が世界を征し、ネイティブをホロコーストしてアメリカは建国された。殺戮兵器の開発が人類史を変えましたよ。この当たり前のことを知った方がよい。せめて、なぜ日本が鎖国政策を取ったのか、何故キリスト教を禁じたのか。よく調べた方がよいですよ。明治維新は徳川慶喜が大政奉還したからです。日本が内戦を続けたら必ず欧米が入ってきます。それくらいは日本人は解りますよ。明治新政府の内閣の半数は、2年近く欧米との不平等条約の改正と欧米社会の視察を開始しました。ラストサムライは西郷隆盛をモデルにしたようですが、欧米化と日本文化を守る戦いが背景にあります。大東亜戦争は太平洋戦争と名付けるようアメリカから命令されたものです。今や大東亜共栄圏は悪の象徴とされています。
これと似た答え出してるアニメもそうだった少年誌のアニメ選んで輸入してるのになぜ日本は学生のアニメが好きなんだと議論してて滑稽だった
