The Last of the Samurai: Japan’s Legendary Warriors | 1868 | Time Travels

In the 1870s, Japan was in the midst of a very tumultuous period. The Meiji Emperor was trying to modernise and westernise the country, while the samurai class was fighting to maintain their traditional lifestyle. Travel with Mike Brady as he takes a look at the end of the samurai and the changes that took place in Japan as a result of Westernisation. We'll explore the effects of this change on the samurai class, the imperial court, and the Japanese people as a whole. 🌎 Subscribe to Time Travels Here:
