The Meiji Restoration began in the late 19th Century. Matthew Calbraith Perry had arrived in Japan with ships with no sail, the Japanese were surprised. Matthews then forced Japan into signing a treaty on March 31,1854 in order to open up ports for the Western Colonial fleets. Matthew also exposed the weakness of the Tokuwaga shoguns that caused the nationalist to unrests under the slogan "Sunno Joi."
The Japanese economy changed during the Meiji Restoration by ships importing goods from other countries. Yoshida Shoen was also a many cause of the change of Japan by allowing foreigners could come and go. At the Hagi Grammer School Yoshida Shoen is considered a heroe to the kids.

Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx was the son of Hirshel and Henrietta Marx. Marx was born in 1818. Karl Marx's idea towards communism was that workers share the wealth in the commom society and the wealth should be distributed by by according to each wants and according to each needs.
Most of the countries did not use the idea of communism that Marx's used because Marx's idea was that the workers could control the government, but with this the government was strict and forced the workers to work long hours on the factories and farms. The press also was censored and they were not allowed to critcize the government, if people were caught critcizing or spoke against it the government would have treated them harshly.
