The Meiji Restoration of Japan

Japan is known as an archipelago, what this mean is that Japan is a large group of islands, which are close to each other, or in near by areas. Mathew Perry "bullied" the Japanese into singing the treaty by impressing them with the technologies that the Americans enjoyed. The Japanese were very impressed with the technology that was on the American steam ships. The United States in a way was bulling the Japanese instead of just setting up and arrangement and negotiate. The United States used their military power to scare the Japanese, or just force them to do what ever they say. Japan had been in isolation for many years, so their army was weak and their technology was out dated. Mathew Perry purposely dropped 26 miles off the coast of Tokyo, just to impress the Japanese, which did work as they plan the Japanese’s were not so impressed with what Perry did in Tokyo. The Japanese were impressed, but dropping miles they were more interested in how far the Americans steam ship was traveling in such short time. Perry also arrived in Tokyo with the sails of the ship down. He did this purposely, to show the Japanese, that with their steam technology, they no longer needed sails. The Japanese felt intimidated. Japan felt that they were so behind from everyone else so in both the Japanese and united state interest to open the ports. With this treaty in place, Japan was now able to advance, in technology and power.

Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx did not like the Industrial Revolution, just for the simple fact of how the workers were being treated. The condition the workers faced were very harsh and unsafe. Marx argued that the workers should owned the factory and farm rather than the landlord. He urged the "workers of the world to unite" in a worldwide revolution.

Marx's saw how the workers were being treated so he came up with an idea known as Communism, a word formed for common. Marx said that “communism is going to be workers sharing wealth in a communist society.” Marx also wanted the wealth to be distributed "to each pearson according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
