The leaders of the Meiji Restoration issued the Charter Oath in 1868 to formally announce their commitment to modernizing Japan and to establish a framework for governance based on democratic principles. The Oath emphasized the importance of public participation in government, the pursuit of knowledge from abroad, and the elimination of feudal structures.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet's name is Tenzin Gyatso. But he has decided to step down. If the government excepts this, he will no longer be the Dalai Lama. He thinks that it will strengthen the government and modernize it. I will be sad but I respect whatever he decides!
What a muddle! It was the other way round. Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 and then, in 1937, launched a full scale attack on China. China has never dominated Japan.

He was first named the First Consul for life. When that plateau had been reached it was a relatively easy step to advance himself to the rank of Emperor of the French. He made a failed but valiant effort to become the Emperor of Europe. That course of action failed.
