Yes, the shoguns' power in Japan was threatened by the spread of Western ideas, particularly during the 19th century. The introduction of Western political concepts, such as democracy and individual rights, challenged the feudal system and the centralized authority of the shogunate. Additionally, Western military technology and economic practices put pressure on Japan to modernize, leading to internal conflict and eventual political upheaval, culminating in the Meiji Restoration. This shift marked the decline of shogunal power as Japan transformed into a modern nation-state.

Would the shogun's power be threatened by the spread of western ideas?

Yes, the spread of Western ideas posed a significant threat to the shogun's power in Japan. These ideas often emphasized individualism, democracy, and modernization, which challenged the feudal and hierarchical structures upheld by the shogunate. As Western nations expanded their influence and pressured Japan to open up, many samurai and intellectuals began to advocate for reform, ultimately leading to the Meiji Restoration and the decline of shogunal authority.

Why did shoguns choose to rule through puppet emperors rather than seize the imperial throne themselves?

There were a few reasons for this. One was that it was tradition for Japan to have an emperor and people might not like the change to a shogun. The second is that if the shogun made a bad decision, he could blame the emperor. He had someone to blame, and was also not threatened because of this. The emperor would be hated.
