Becoming an imperialist country, it was governed by shogun (military ruler) which had the job of preventing a civil war among daimyo (lords). Samurai was the highest level of social level. Confidence in the Shogunate’s began to decline in the 1830’s and ended in 1867. With the influence of tension with the United States, a brief civil war called the Meiji restoration began, leading to Southern Japanese Samurai’s taking over politically.
