- Significance
- 🔩 Established the foundation for economic and military expansion.
- 🌏 Fueled Japan's dream to be seen as a global powerhouse.
- Real-world example: Imagine Japan as a student who has been quietly sitting at the back of the class for ages. The Meiji Restoration is like that student's sudden decision to join the school's debate team, drama club, AND the football squad - and excel in all of them!
🌸Japan & its neighbors
- China
- Decline of Chinese Manchu Empire: Japan was keenly observing.
- Why Important? In the global schoolyard, China's decline was like the popular kid losing their cool status, and Japan was eager to fill that gap.
- Russia
- Rivalry with the Romanov Empire: Think of Russia and Japan as the two top contenders for the title of the school's chess champion.
🌍World war i & japan
- Impact: WWI provided Japan with unique opportunities.
- Real-world example: Ever seen a 'Black Friday Sale'? The chaos of WWI was like that sale, and Japan saw it as a chance to grab some cool items (like territories and resources) at a discounted 'price' (risk).

🕊️Paris peace - making (1919)
- Japan's Role: Japan was a part of the big discussions post-WWI on how to ensure future peace.
- Real-world analogy: After a huge food fight in the school cafeteria, Japan was one of the students helping to set the new lunchroom rules.
