Homogeneous society
Section 1 Japan Modernizes
1. Lesson Plan Focus
To avoid domination by the West, Japan opened its doors to foreign influences and transformed itself into a modern industrial power. The change occurred rapidly due to Japan’s homogeneous society, great determination, and experience in cultural adaptation. Because it was a small island nation with few natural resources, Japan began building an empire to feed its industrial growth.
2. In-class Instruct
Construct a Cause and Effect chart on the Meiji restoration. Use the chart in the section as a model. Students should indicate the factors that led to the overthrow of the shogun and restoration of the Emperor in 1868. Then identify the major changes that occurred as a result of the restoration. Identify long-term effects as well.
3. Close
Compare the different ways that Japan and China responded to the growing power of the West. Which policy was wiser? Explain your answer.
