It would be a perfect gift for yourself or your loved ones (and yes — US & CA shipping are still available!)Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the early modern era and history of Japan. The Victorian Era was a time of revolutionary change, marked by unprecedented technological progress, scientific breakthroughs, and the expansion of European empires. While Asia and Africa were carved up by imperial powers, Japan followed a different path—one that transformed it from an isolated feudal society into East Asia’s first modern superpower. This video explores how Japan navigated the challenges of the 19th century, beginning with the Tenpō Era crises, famine, and social unrest that exposed the weaknesses of the Tokugawa shogunate. We’ll examine the arrival of Commodore Perry’s “Black Ships” and the Bakumatsu period, when internal conflict and foreign pressure forced Japan to confront its isolation. The Boshin War and the fall of the Tokugawa paved the way for the Meiji Restoration, ushering in sweeping reforms in government, education, industry, and the military. From the abolition of the samurai class to the creation of a modern constitution, from industrial growth to the rise of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Meiji Era reshaped Japan’s future. By the dawn of the 20th century, Japan had secured its place as a world power—modernized yet still rooted in its traditions.
