Military Changes

The transformation of Japan’s military system over 300 years was marked by the dominance of daimyos and samurais during the Tokugawa Shogunate, a feudal military dictatorship. Central government involvement began in the pre-Meiji Era as armies operated under daimyos without central authority. Key conflicts such as the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War saw Japan's emergence as a military power. The establishment of a modern army and navy followed the Meiji Restoration, borrowing tactics from Prussia and enforcing conscription in 1873, thereby shaping Japan's military future.
