What internal and external pressures did Japan face during its period of reunification? How did Japan deal with these challenges?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Students should discuss Japan's internal problems and civil war, which ended with political unification under the Tokugawa Shogunate and the resulting economic growth. Japan launched assaults on Korea as well as China, but it also, like much of Asia, was faced with the pressures of European missionaries and traders in this era. This threat presented Japan with new opportunities as well as problems. Japan welcomed European trade and European technology such as firearms; however, hostility toward Christianity led to the closing of Japan to nearly all foreigners, with the exception of a small group of Dutch traders.
