Summary "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Japan' (part) to 'Jeveros'" by Various is an informative reference work written in the early 20th century. This section focuses on Japan, detailing its history, governmental changes, and interactions with foreign powers. The content likely addresses significant historical events regarding Japan's relationships, particularly concerning its quest for judicial autonomy and the evolution of its international standing. The opening of this volume presents a comprehensive overview of Japan's transformation during the Meiji era, emphasizing the country's efforts to redefine its identity in a global context. It discusses the abolishment of the shogunate, the establishment of amicable relations with foreign nations, and the challenges posed by foreign treaties that limited Japan's judicial autonomy. The text outlines the Japanese government's steadfast efforts to reform its legal system and assert its sovereignty, culminating in the eventual recognition of its judicial rights by foreign powers, which marked a pivotal moment in Japan's modernization and emergence as a significant global entity.
