The shogunate enforced the isolation and "banned" guns

so they wanted to stop murder and violence

They basically said "trade with whitey and we'll kill your squint asses"

No retard

Guns gave the other people ways to easily defend themselves

Armor and horses dont work well against a bunch of farmers with guns

The shogunate were assholes that constantly fucked with everyone

In this case, I have to side with them

nominally

>be samurai
>have armor and swords that make me invincible to pretty much anything other states have
>go try to extort peasants
>get shot
>new rule, if we see a gun we murder you

Thats what happened

>usa during this time was oppressing Mexicans and killing Indians

>claims moral highgorund

wtf

>whitey shows up
>"hey we have loads of guns we can trade for"
>shogunate tried to start shit
>America laughs in their faces
>Japan is now open for trade

imperialist revisionism but whatever

>Implying the indians didnt deserve it

Kek

Nihonjin is weak af

the truth is the common people of japan supported and respected the shogunates, as they were a stabilizing force

and resented the white invaders

The fuck nigger?

it was part of their religion too

Yeah dawg they really liked them so much

Really liked when they slaughtered peasants

you say they extorted them, when they also defended them from attack.

FROM

WHO?

THE

FUCK

Confirmed for dumbest nigger on earth

Official
