The Japanese had a lot of interesting military shit going on for awhile, but for a long time they were completely isolated from just about every other country that wasn&rsquo;t in their immediate vicinity, and the raging seas stopped most navies from even attempting to invade lest they get acquainted with some Mongol chums at the bottom. This is where the Meiji Restoration came into place, because Japan was more or less stuck in the stone age from cutting off so much contact. Anyways, In the 1590&rsquo;s they were doing well against Korea until their logistics got trashed, and the Empire did at least decently until they royally pissed off the US which would have doomed almost anyone. <|endoftext|>
