During the mid 1800's, the samurai and low ranking people (such as the goshi and shoya) were dissatisfied with the way that the country was being governed. The arrival of Matthew Perry caused much outrage and realization that Japan was weak. Rebel samurai (Ronins) were formed in many provinces (known as the shishi). The most radical were the Satsuma and Choshu shishi. They wanted power to return to the Emperor and for the Shogun to resign. This was the start of the Meiji Restoration. Combined into the Sat-Cho Alliance, they forced the Shogun to resign, and Emperor Komei (later renamed Meiji) took the throne. Although the samurai generally disliked the western technology, many also saw the benefits of combining Japanese culture with Western technology to create a stronger Japan.
