A proposito di questo titolo

In 1858, just four years after Commodore Perry's black ships, U.S. Consul Townsend Harris pressured Japan into the unequal Treaty of Amity and Commerce, sparking a political crisis that ended the shogunate's monopoly on foreign policy. This episode examines the treaty's negotiation, the hated 'extraterritoriality' and 'unequal tariff' clauses, and the violent backlash led by samurai who rallied behind the slogan 'Sonnō jōi' (Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians). We follow the doomed reforms of Tokugawa Nariaki, the assassination of chief negotiator Ii Naosuke, and the Ansei Purge that tried to crush dissent. The conflict between pro- and anti-foreign factions set the stage for the Meiji Restoration. Join Lucas and Luna as they explore the five Ansei Treaties, signed with the U.S., Britain, Russia, the Netherlands, and France, which forced Japan into a global system it didn't choose—and the bloody consequences that followed.
