The Rise of Modern Japan (Online)

How was Japan able to transform itself into a major world power in the space of a few decades?? What drove these dramatic changes? What cultural and social norms and economic structures helped to facilitate Japan’s rise? What brought down the Tokugawa regime that had held sway for over two and a half centuries? What political structure took its place? Who gained and who suffered in the remarkable transformation of Japan in the 19th and early 20th centuries? How was economic strength translated into an expanding empire? The Japan Society invites K-12 educators from all disciplines to join this free online workshop on the rise of modern Japan.
