Summary
In this episode, we delve into the pivotal period of Japan's history - the Meiji Restoration. We explore the profound changes that this period brought to Japan, transforming it from a feudal society into a modern industrial state. But what if this transformation never occurred? How would Japan's absence from the world stage affect global politics, economics, and culture? Join us as we construct an alternate timeline where the Meiji Restoration never happened, and Japan remained isolated from the rest of the world. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
