Description
What if Japan never opened its doors to the West? In this episode, we explore an alternate world where the Tokugawa Shogunate holds firm to its isolationist policy. No Perry expedition. No Meiji Restoration. Would Japan still rise as a global power—or remain a secluded samurai state? Tune in as we unpack the ripple effects on Asia, colonialism, and the modern world.
