Abbey Crump

     Besides changes in domestic values and practices, Japan's relations with its neighbors also changed after the Meiji Restoration. There were many changes in Japanese society, economy, and politics, including the introduction of Western values of civilization and enlightenment of a centralized, constitutional government.
