The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The war stemmed from dissatisfaction among many nobles and young samurai with the shogunate's handling of foreigners following the opening of Japan during the prior decade.
- Increasing Western influence in the economy led to a decline similar to that of other Asian countries at the time.
- An alliance of western samurai, particularly the domains of Chōshū, Satsuma, and Tosa, and court officials secured control of the Imperial Court and influenced the young Emperor Meiji.
