In 1868, a civil war (The Boshin war) broke out between the two factions fighting for control of the nations. The Imperial forces, led by the emperor Meji, who wanted to retake control of the government for the emperors which was taken from them in the 11th century, and the Shogunate forces wanted to maintain their grip on the nation while trying to go back to the old ways of isolationism. While these were setbacks the Shogunate had one advantage, they had the support of French generals which led small Shogun forces, but were overshadowed by the far more prestigious Shogun generals.

  • In 1868, a civil war (The Boshin war) broke out between the two factions fighting for control of the nations. The Imperial forces, led by the emperor Meji, who wanted to retake control of the government for the emperors which was taken from them in the 11th century, and the Shogunate forces wanted to maintain their grip on the nation while trying to go back to the old ways of isolationism. Almost all the battles fought were between the imperial forces with less men but better tactics, weapons and leadership and the Shogunate forces which had more men but kept to many old ways of living. The Imperial forces which had many modernized weaponry (including machine guns) while the Shogun's troops continued using the flintlock rifles, but due to French missions in 1867 they got their hands on far more modern guns, including 2 machine guns. While these were setbacks the Shogunate had one advantage, they had the support of French generals which led small Shogun forces, but were overshadowed by the far more prestigious Shogun generals. But what if the Shogun won the Boshin war and reaffirmed their authority over the emperor and Japan? What if their newly found isolationism caused new factors to be put into action?
