Imperial Japanese Army [SEP] Origins (1868–1871)
In the mid-19th century, Japan had no unified national army and the country was made up of feudal domains ("han") with the Tokugawa shogunate ("bakufu") in overall control, which had ruled Japan since 1603. The bakufu army, although large force, was only one among others, and bakufu efforts to control the nation depended upon the cooperation of its vassals' armies. The opening of the country after two centuries of seclusion subsequently led to the Meiji Restoration and the Boshin War in 1868. The domains of Satsuma and Chōshū came to dominate the coalition against the shogunate.
