Emperor Meiji sought to abolish the shogunate to restore imperial authority and modernize Japan. The decline of the Tokugawa shogunate, marked by internal strife and external pressures, created a desire for political and social reform. The Meiji Restoration in 1868 aimed to centralize power, promote industrialization, and strengthen Japan against Western powers. This shift was crucial for transforming Japan into a modern nation-state.
