Some background: a British merchant was murdered in Japan as part of the order to expel the barbarians. The British government demanded reparations from Satsuma, but were refused. Angry, the British sent warships to the area to force them to pay but were fired upon by coastal batteries. There was an exchange of fire, and five Japanese died compared to eleven British. It was a stalemate, but it was thought by the Japanese to be a victory and it saved face for the Satsuma. The Admiral of the British fleet decided that it was enough and opted not to land troops or try to take their cannons to signal an absolute defeat to the Japanese. But what would happen if he felt like he needed to express dominance against the Japanese and decides to land troops in the town?
