I'm sure that this has been done before but since I found nothing, I decided I would pose the question again. I'm really interested in other "proofs against social supremacy" occurring in unlikely places (from the POV of the European colonial empires, that is!:D) and other such restorations like the one that occurred in Japan, and how/where else they could've happened. I know Japan is a very unique location, but surely other avenues to restoration can be discovered- that the Japanese did it proves the fact.

So I'm asking the experts here: which regions, people, or polities were plausibly able to undergo massive modernization projects in much the same way and I suppose around the same time as the Japanese did, barring a few decades in either direction?
