November 9th 1867: Start of the Meiji Restoration

On this day in 1867, the Tokugawa Shogunate handed power back to the Emperor of Japan. Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the 15th shogun, handed power officially to the emperor. This ended the rule of the Tokugawa samurai who had led Japan since 1600 and ushered in the Meiji Restoration, when imperial power was restored in Japan and the country underwent significant modernisation. The following January the emperor made a formal declaration of the restoration of his power and the shogunate was abolished.
