Challenge: Have “Meiji Restorations” in as many nations as possible!

This is technically a necro, as the last post was over a year ago, so try to be more careful next time.
A "necro" is when you bump a thread without contributing anything of value to it. Since I had a question on the topic of the thread, there was no point in creating a brand new clone thread. But if you think I did something wrong, just report me and let the mods decide.
 
I deleted my previous post because I just saw the OP. My apologies.

Anyway, Korea doesn't really work because there are numerous factors to take into consideration long before the 19th century. It might be possible to create a situation in which Korea might industrialize with a very early POD, but it requires numerous unlikely butterflies and thorough research in order to grasp the picture as a whole.

Yes, it's certainly not a necro. See my post above.
 
In this case you probally should have made a new thread. Only bump if you've something major to add to the existing topic, not a new, similar question.
Though its not a big deal, people only get in trouble for persistant and stupid necroing.


The trouble with Hawaii was that though it was modernising in a 'meiji' kind of way all of the foreign investment was coming from the US. In Japan's true meiji meanwhile they had a pretty good balance of lots of foreign interests.
Also a problem for Hawaii is it was small. Pretty easy for a few rich foreigners to end up owning huge chunks of the country.
So for Hawaii...you need better laws about foreign land/business ownership that can balance still getting investment without them buying the country, and get the US less interested and some other powers more interested. Maybe have Mexico keeping California et al and becoming a real rival to the US.

I think that OP's can usually repost, though, as an exception, so it should technically be fine.
 
Interesting ideas everyone. Could Ethiopia have had a “Meiji Restoration”? And with a POD between late 18th to 19th century could a ‘Westernized’ Amerindian Nation arise in North America?

Do you count the Yucatan as "north america" becuase the Chan Santa Cruz Republic was a Mayan country that could very well have survived to modern day.
