the rule is treated by the convenient way of the strong country
it can tread down the small country in power. by Bismarck
Otto von Bismarck - Wikipedia
As for Japanese diplomacy at the beginning of the Meiji era , this word was
learnt by a lot of scenes.
When the Japan was opened at end of Edo period , an unequal agreement was
concluded by western power
Japan was deprived of the right to multiply the tax for imports.
The commodity imported by a low price confused Japanese economy and became big
social issues.
There is no right to judge foreigner's crime in Japan by the Japanese.
Western Europe nations pressed such an unequal agreement against Asia by
military power.
And, it was a means to obtain various rights.
In Japan, there was a sense of crisis to the colonization by this unequal
agreement.
1871 Japan sent Washington the mission for the treaty revision.
The mission presents the president the sovereign message from Japan.
Japan starts to row the international society of rough sea at this moment.
At first, It was said whether there was an authority of which the mission signs treaty.
It was not being written that they had the complete power of attorney in
the Japan's credentials
Only the discussed authority was given to them, and there was no carte blanche
card.
Japan did not know at all about the system of Western Europe nations as a matter of course
they said "The authority to the agreement is not given to you. Not the representative in the country but the discussions with you are difficult. " they refused them
The shock of the Japanese mission was inscrutable.
the mission knew that the revision of the treaty was impossible if it did not follow the rule of their Western Europe for the time being.
It is not possible to go up to the ring of the fight if it doesn't know it.
They spend four months to receive the letter of attorney of Emperor Meiji and
shuttle to Japan and the United States.
However,The United States refused the revision of an unequal agreement again because it was said legal systems was not made yet in Japan.
And, the United States demands collateral as concession one after another.
The world paid attention to this negotiation.
It is because in an unequal agreement, there are articles that the mission
did not know.
It is because there is an important interests for Western Europe nations other than the United States.
that was an article of most favored nation in the unequal agreement
if Japan gave rights to a certain country,other countries can obtain the same rights one-sided without collateral security.
so,if Japan gives the United States new rights for the revision,Germany is to be able to obtain the same rights automatically .
Western Europe nations thought that the Japanese mission did not know these articles that they had
concluded .
It was not a negotiation any longer.
It was a small country in the Asia tossed at by the rule of Western Europe that was drawn
by the Meiji era new government and the United States agreement revision negotiation. that was samall Japan.
Afterwards, the mission went to the Europe for observation
They switched the purpose to the observation
at first, It was the great Briten
The national power of those days' Britain far surpassed the United States.
The purpose of the mission turned into investigating such prospered thing and the secret
The mission recorded the town and the society in detail. ................
To escape colonizing, Japan can do nothing but know the Western Europe society and
practice their rule.
This became the policy of the Meiji government
