About This Book

This study chronicles the collapse of imperial government and the rise of a republican regime, tracing political causes, uprisings, and institutional responses. It situates the revolution within broader social and economic change, analyzing industry, finance, rail and water transport, commerce, agriculture, and urban development. It considers foreign influence, diplomacy, and the presence and practices of foreign communities and missionaries. Separate chapters survey military reform, modern education, literature and language, legal practice and crime, daily life and women’s roles, public works, architecture and art, climate and hygiene, and other sociological aspects that illuminate the transition to a modern state.
