Pacific Asia has transformed itself in many critical ways over the past 150 years. This ten-part series looks at the specific cultural, economic, and political events that caused this part of the world to keep evolving so it could more effectively compete with distant countries. During this episode, viewers will learn about the mid-19th century Meiji Revolution waged by Japanese citizens who either favored or opposed the modernization of their country. Other topics covered include China's failure to keep up with Japan, the Tokugawa regime, and the Kanagawa Treaty of 1853.
