The late 19th century government that believed it had made significant contributions to global achievements, inventions, and innovations was the Meiji government of Japan. Following the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan experienced rapid modernization and industrialization, resulting in advancements in technology and infrastructure. The government fostered a sense of national pride, asserting that Japan's unique innovations rendered foreign imitation unnecessary. This belief was part of a broader effort to assert Japan's status as a modern power on the world stage.
Japan was an oligarchy in the Meiji period that lasted until 1912.
In 1871, the Meiji leaders of Japan faced significant financial challenges, primarily stemming from the need to modernize the economy after the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. They dealt with a lack of funds to support industrialization, infrastructure development, and military reforms. Additionally, the government struggled with a large public debt, exacerbated by the costs of the Boshin War and ongoing expenses related to modernization efforts. These financial difficulties necessitated reforms in taxation and the establishment of a more centralized financial system.
