I thoroughly enjoyed this session as Mr. Clay Dube is such a good presenter he really knows his stuff. This session was good because of the in depth of the explanations of the 3 groups the self-strengtheners, the reformers and the rebellious groups and there causes. Mr. Dube explains that these movements happened in sort of a sequential order. How the self=strengtheners wanted to use/ instill more technology into their group in order to get better. While the reformers wanted more science and technology in theirs, but wanted to make their own, they convinced the emperor to push a revision for it. Japan has now become strong and powerful and now becomes open.
