Japan At the End of Xix V. And In The Beginning of Xx V.

The beginning of XX century. Japan was marked by serious changes, which reflected qualitative changes in the character of Japanese capitalism. Back in the 90s of the XIX century. It was possible to observe a tendency towards an accelerated transition of Japanese capitalism to a monopolistic phase. In the first years of the XX century. Japanese imperialism is beginning to take shape. The process of strengthening large-capitalist associations of a monopolistic type occurred on the basis of concentration of production and the centralization of capital, but was accelerated and facilitated in Japan by the fact that many of them grew directly from the old trade monopolies that existed in the feudal era (Mitsui, Sumitomo).

Military-colonial robbery as a result of the war of 1894-1895. Was a very serious factor in strengthening the position of large-capitalist firms close to the government. An intensive export of Japanese capital to China began. The Japanese-Chinese war opened the way to the development of Japanese imperialism, which since the beginning of the 20th century. Was designed as an active force, acting on the world stage.

In 1900, Japan took a very active part in suppressing the popular movement against foreign imperialists in China, known as the Ithuan uprising. The reason for the Japanese speech was the murder of the adviser to the Japanese embassy in Beijing Sugiyama. This murder took place under circumstances that were not clarified to the end. Nevertheless, Japan hurried to send to China a whole division, soon tainted with gross violence against the Chinese population. The Japanese military command was in charge of the owner in Beijing.

The Japanese invaders captured the Chinese treasury. Using the British and partly American support, the Japanese government sought to transfer to him the police functions to monitor the performance by the Chinese authorities of the humiliating conditions of the so-called "Final Protocol" signed on September 7, 1901. According to this protocol, Japan not only received its share of the indemnity, but also a special "Satisfaction" for the murder of Sugiyama.

Contradictions between the interests of England and tsarist Russia in the Far East contributed to the further rapprochement of Japan with England. The Russian railway construction in Manchuria, the rental of Port Arthur and Dalnee, met with hostility from both Japan and British and American imperialism.
