A Level Westernisation and nationalism in Meiji Japan 1868-1912

In this lesson, students will understand the nature of the transformative changes brought by the Meiji Restoration, focusing on the shift from feudal rule to a modern, centralised state.

Students will then analyse the political, social, economic, and technological reforms that characterised Imperial Japan during the Meiji period, including the establishment of a constitutional government, industrialisation, military modernisation, and social restructuring.

Ultimately, students will evaluate how these changes enabled Japan to emerge as a significant regional and global power capable of competing with Western nations by the early 20th century. Students will grasp the scope of Meiji reforms and their crucial role in shaping modern Japan’s rise on the world stage.

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

  • Understand the nature of change brought by the Meiji Restoration in Japan;
  • Analyse the political, social, economic and technological changes in Imperial Japan;
  • Assess how the Meiji period led to the emergence of Japan as a major power.
