Western intrusion had a shattering effect on Japan, because the Japanese had long considered themselves to be the most advanced and sophisticated nation on Earth, yet barbaric foreigners possessed such things as guns, as well as medical science, manufacturing techniques etc., that were clearly in advance of the Japanese state of the art, and which put the Japanese at a disadvantage. Eventually Japan caught up, and today Japan is as technologically advanced as any nation on Earth, but it was a struggle to get to that point.
