## TL;DR

The Meiji Restoration transformed Japan's political order and accelerated state-led modernization. This repair removes fabricated 2025 DOI metadata and ties the claims to Britannica and the National Diet Library.

## Core Explanation

The selected evidence covers the 1868 restoration, the external pressure created by the opening of Japan, and the 1889 Meiji Constitution. Broader claims about industrialization, wars, and slogans need separate source-backed facts before returning to the public claim set.
