The Meiji Restoration
The Meiji Restoration was a period of great social and political change in Japan that occurred between 1853 and 1868. The samurai, who were a powerful class of warriors, played a major role in this period. The restoration began with the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States Navy in 1853. Perry's arrival forced Japan to open its doors to the outside world, and this led to a series of changes that would eventually lead to the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate and the establishment of a new government.
The samurai were initially divided on the issue of the restoration. Some samurai supported the new government, while others opposed it. The opposition samurai were known as the "Joh-i" faction, and they carried out a number of acts of violence against those who supported the restoration. The most famous of these acts of violence was the assassination of Ii Naosuke, the chief minister of the Tokugawa shogunate. Ii was assassinated by a group of samurai led by Yoshida Shoin in 1860.
