The 
Tokugawa was killed by the Empire of Japan in the Boshin War in 1869.
On April 6, 1868, 
Emperor Meiji took the imperial oath, announcing thorough reforms, announcing sweeping reforms such as moving the capital from 
Kyoto to 
Tokyo, abolishing 
feudal systems such as Han (藩) system, and opening up to other countries. This marked the beginning of Japan's modernization.
However, modernization had social consequences, political parties and groups began to emerge, making more social tensions. As a result of the actions, the 
Meiji Constitution was established in 1889, which invokes a parliament composed of the House of Aristocracy (Kizoku-in) and the House of Representatives (Shūgi-in), which parliament was functioning a year later, military designations, martial law and the right of pardon. The Meiji constitution also defined the official name of the Japanese state called Dai-Nippon Teikoku.
On April 17, 1895, the 
Qing Dynasty signed the humiliating Treaty of 
Shimonoseki with Japan. China ceded 
Taiwan, Penghu, and 
Liaodong, paid 200 million taels indemnity, and opened treaty ports. This treaty accelerated 
imperialist partitioning of China. However, 
Russia, 
Germany and 
France advised Japan do renounce Liaodong on April 23, and Japan, anxious to keep his goodwill, did so by treaty on 8 November, but not before he had extorted 30 million taels of silver. The Japanese public was outraged at this handover.

Japan in World War II
Japan wanted to conquer 
China. In 1931, he set up a fake railway incident as an excuse to invade and conquer 
Manchuria, which was under the Fengtian Clique. The invasion was successful and the puppet state of Manchukuo was set up, integrated into the Japanese Empire and starting a trade circle between Manchukuo, Korea and Japan, making Japan have great economy.
But just Manchuria was not enough. On July 7, 1937, Japan launched a full on invasion of 
China, starting the Second Sino-Japanese War. Japan was successful at first, getting hold of many Chinese clay and massacred everywhere they go, from 
Shanghai to 
Nanking. The notorious Rape of Nanking was a mass killing and raping of Chinese civilians by the Japanese from 1937 to 1938. Many Japanese still deny it ever happened to this day.
But the war in China soon reached stalemate, with fewer advancements than Japan had hoped. In order to get enough resources to keep invading China, Japan launched an invasion of Southeast Asia in the early 1940s. Japan first invaded 
French Indochina (under de-jure 
Vichy France control) in September 1940.
Japan's actual attack on the 
United States started with the surprise Attack of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Shortly afterwards America declared war on Japan, and this was considered Japan's grave mistake.
The US quickly responded and began to rapidly take all the ocean territory that Japan had conquered during the WWII. But Japan still would not surrender, and was planning to unleash biological warfare on American soil. So in August 1945 USA dropped two nuclear bombs on the cities of 
Hiroshima and 
Nagasaki. This finally got Japan to surrender unconditionally.
