The Meiji Restoration in Japan marked the overthrow of the Shogunate. The Shogunate was a military governor of Japan. Though in principle Shoguns had to be appointed by the Emperor, in practice their power passed from father to son or seized control of the government through military force. This arrangement effectively removed the Emperor from the structures of power. The Meiji Restoration made the Emperor the head of the government, though he did not direct governmental affairs. The government of Japan ceased to be a hereditary position, as it had been under the Shogunate. The emperor ruled Japan through a series of governments chosen by his subjects, similar to the constitutional monarchy of Great Britain.
The landing of Commodore Perry in Japan is said to have "opened" Japan to the modern industrial world. History was changed in that a new economic and military power in Japan emerged.

The Japanese Constitution afforded the military a lot of power at the time. If the Army or Navy minister stepped down, it instantly brought the government down.

Japan.
Japan has had a modest military since the post-WWII Allied Occupation. It has around 250,000 active personnel, with approximately 60,000 reserves. It has a budget of around $55 billion, which is 1% of its GDP. The economy of Japan is the third largest in the world. Japan is the world's largest creditor nation. Therefore Japan's economic power is greater than its military might.
