Partially inspired by this thread I'd l'd like to analyze this scenerio in a TL of my own. With the series of events up to 1870 in the TL of the link maintained for this thread, what other events could we expect?
For such a TL I'd like to ask -
How may this change the reformations enacted by the Meiji government from OTL?
Will Meiji and Ezo Japan adopt things like western clothes as well as tactics like the Meiji empire did in OTL?
How may the military forces of the two Japans differ?
How likely is another war between the two to occur?
How may this change the plans that plans that Britian, France, Russia, and other countries had in mind for those in Asia? Including colonial plans.
What may happen to Qing China, Korea, and Manchuria?
What steps may both take to industrialize and can they industrialize to the extent that OTL Japan did?
