Great point about Toyotomi Hideyoshi&#x27;s attempt to conquer Korean and China! I guess the legacy of the Edo period was a kind of reset on that ambition, because the country was closed and not looking for a fight. I would say it was actually the failure of the shogunate to stand up to Commodore Perry that ended Edo and kicked off the outward-looking Meiji.<p>I&#x27;m no expert in this area, but I enjoy learning about it.
