Second Sengoku

In 1867 a rebellion broke out in Japan. A group of daimyo tried to restore the emperor and depose the shogun. Despite the odds, however, the Shogunate was able to prevail thanks to reforms created by Léon Roches and the aid of foreign powers. However despite the victory the Shogunate withered. As years progressed it fell further and further behind, the old feudal model holding Japan back. Then the Chiba Riots happened. In 1917 a horde of Japanese peasants stormed and attacked the American cruiser “USS Saratoga.” Enraged by the riot and incompetence of the Shogunate a coalition was formed, led by America. Called the Patey Expedition this would be the death knell for the Shogunate.

As the combined forces of General George Edwin Patey ravaged Japan and humiliated its armies the Japanese peasantry revolted. Known as the Kyoto Revolution it would see the shogun flee and Japan surrender. As a result of this the Provisional Government of Japan was created and several cities were ceded. In spite of this for five years Japan seemed to flourish under the new order. Then the Great Kanto Earthquake shattered it all. As countless suffered and died the government was found to be incapable of providing aid to its people. Soon people looked to alternative sources of stability. Thus began the rise of yakuzas, resurgence of clans, socialist parties, and ultranationalism.

As though things could not be worse for Japan the stock market crash sealed the fate of Japan. As people lost their jobs and the economy took a nose dive almost all trust in the government was lost. In 1930 Japan died. A socialist uprising and the percieved weakness of the government prompted a military coup. The failure of which, due to the refusal of the navy to join in and the rise of various regional and restorationalist movements saw the coup devolve into a civil war, which in turn spiralled into general chaos. That was years ago. Japan once more finds itself in a time of war. A Second Sengoku Jidai.
