How did Meiji Reform benefit the modernization in Japan? (military, industrial, economic, political)

I will be focusing on the positive political impact of colonization on Japan. The Meiji reform was an event that restored the imperial rule in Japan after Matthew Perry tried to colonize Japan and establish relations between Japan and Europe. Some old rulings (Tokugawa shogunate) were therefore gone and it lead to the Meiji Reform. It allowed the government to focus on the emperor and allowed Japanese citizens to learn more skills, which lead to Japan undergoing industrialization.

For example, there was compulsory conscription of military service. It was established through the "'Conscription Law" in 1873. They made all 20-year-old men enlist in the military (both samurai and commoners). This allowed the military to become stronger and have more resistance when others tried to colonize Japan.

To add on, Japan changed from planting agriculture for a living and trade (subsistence farming) into heavy industry. A heavy industry means selling heavy items such as metals or building ships for a living. For example, according to EU Business in Japan, the heavy metal industry in 2012 was about 71% of the GDP.

Last but not least, there was a political change in Japan as well. There was a Japanese official called Itagaki, who established a monarchy system in the Japanese government. He also gathered a group of people as the national assembly to control the monarchy system.

In conclusion, the Meiji Restoration positively transformed Japan through modernization. However, some people were oppressed by the unfair political policies of the colonizers, and they faced discrimination. This once again links back to the social and cultural motivation of colonization, namely the White Man's burden.

Why did they want to build it?
The goals of the British empire started at 1832, they wanted to build railways in India, because they wanted to create a faster route for english merchants in India to travel around and get easier access to raw cotton for trade.

Positive impacts:
-They get a faster transportation
-Modernisation
-Faster trade = Increased income

Negative impacts for colonists:
-The cost of building the railway would cost a lot
-The labour cost.

After the Meiji Reform, it changed Japan a lot. Japan gained respect in the eyes of other Western countries. Plenty of laws and rules were changed after the Meiji reform. Japan became a role model for other colonized countries. They learned new strategies from their enemies and beaten them by using the same strategies they learned from.

In terms of economy, although they still rely on agriculture, they started to have heavy industrialization, which was one of the reasons that lead to the development of strategic industries, transportation, and communication.

Socially, their Japanese traditions/culture were kept after the reformers used Western ideas to reconfigure and reorganize the government. In addition, they include better education and increased rights and opportunities.

Politically, they created an elected parliament called the Diet, for providing a good environment for national growth. In 1872, the Japanese government established a national system, their goal is to educate the entire population in Japan. Furthermore, the government constructed a new transportation (railway) system and communication system for the society. Therefore, citizens could travel around Japan with fast and efficient transportations; citizens could communicate with other people from far away. For its organization of Japan, their new government adopted Western technologies and instituted reform. However, Japan didn’t become a European-style state.

Last but not least, their military system has applied changes too. Under the control of the Meiji emperor, old regional armies were all replaced by the national army. Also, there was a law that all male citizens were required to participle in the military.

The goal of the railway plan was to reduce transportation costs and provide English merchants with better access to raw cotton from India. In fact, the railway would open the Indian market to British-made goods like cotton textiles.

Christianity was one justification that European powers used to colonize and exploit Africa. Through the dissemination of Christian doctrine, European nations such as Great Britain, France, and the Netherlands sought to educate and reform African culture.

During the colonialism endeavour, Christianity becomes the civilizing force. Christians are employed to teach colonized Africans to submit to Europeans since they are considered heathens who must be converted. Adopting traditional beliefs and ideals is akin to engaging in sinful behaviour.

Almost all of the colony's inhabitants were converted to Christianity in certain places, which the colonizers used as an excuse to eradicate other faiths.

Tobacco is the first cash crop that has aided the growth of the American economy. One of the primary reasons the United States is where it is now is because of cash crops.

Tobacco production was one of the main reasons why the early British-American colonies expanded so large owing to the infusion of money into their economies.

Africa has always been wealthy in natural resources, allowing other countries to benefit from its abundant supply of cotton and cocoa, two of the world's most significant cash crops.

Cotton that has been genetically engineered aids farmers in combating the continent's climate, allowing them to run a more sustainable company.

Colonialism in the nineteenth century was clearly different from colonialism in the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. In the early days, most of the countries that expanded colonies were Catholic countries. For them, possession of colonies had not only political but also religious purposes. Therefore, they made missions a priority and forced the local people to accept Christianity. Today, almost all of their colonies are today Catholic countries.

Christianity and colonialism were often associated with each other as closely as Protestantism, Orthodoxy and Catholicism participated as the state religions of the European colonial powers and in many ways they served as the 'religious weapons' of these powers. According to Edward Andrews, Christian missionaries were initially portrayed as "tangible saints, models of ideal piety in a sea of continuing barbarism". However, by the end of the colonial era in the second half of the twentieth century, missionaries were seen as an 'ideological shock force'. They were blinded by a fervour for colonial aggression", and the "agents, scribes and moral absentees" of colonialism.

In some areas, almost the entire colonial population broke away from their traditional belief systems and converted to Christianity, which the colonists used as a justification for destroying other faiths, enslaving the natives and exploiting the land and sea.

The industrial revolution helped the European countries accumulate more capital and become wealthier while subjugating the rest of the world under their control.
The industrial revolution created the need for Europe to take over colonies around the world. An empire always wants to add colonies as a measure of national greatness, but now there was an additional push to conquer new territories. Because the Industrial Revolution increased the
production capacity of Europe, there was an enormous hunger for raw materials to satisfy demands. Thus, the Western powers sought colonies where raw materials were abundant and where they could be appropriated at little to no cost. Of course, their eyes were on Africa, which was rich in oil, ivory, rubber, wood, cotton, cocoa beans, copper, gold, iron, cobalt,
diamonds.
