Fall Of The Tokugawa Bakufu
[ send me this paper ]
24 pages in length. The fall of Tokugawa bakufu, the foundation of more than two hundred and fifty years of peaceful existence, was caused in great part to the detrimental impact of Western Imperialism, which compelled the government to refashion its way of operating to reflect something wholly foreign. The intimidation factor was significant in the ultimate fall, inasmuch as Western influence served as an undeniable threat to their tent government – also known as Shogunate. The self-imposed isolation Japan erected became a bone of tremendous contention in the aftermath of myriad administrative changes enacted by the Tokugawa government. These reforms, which occurred in a number of eras including Kansei and Kyoho, were just as bad as the lackadaisical approach to government discipline that Bunka and Bunsei eras had adopted; by contrast, Edo and other areas experienced a flourishing of local cultures. When the mandate came through from various foreign nations for Japan to do away with its partition policy, the Tokugawa bakufu was wholly incapable of maintaining any sort of trade/negotiation authority, which ultimately negated their prestige.
