My opinion is that tokugawa shogunate was a positive force in JapanFor more than 100 years before the Tokugawa Shogunate took power in Japan in 1603, the country wallowed in lawlessness and chaos during the Sengoku or "Warring States" period (1467-1573).Beginning in 1568, however, Japan's "Three Reunifiers" - Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu - worked to bring the warring daimyo back under central control.In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu completed this task and established the Tokugawa Shogunate, which would rule in the emperor's name until 1868.

Japan is limited by it's post WW2 constitution (as required by the US); Japan does NOT have a military. Japan has a SELF DEFENSE FORCE. They are no longer allowed to fight wars; war is out-lawed. Japan has the right to defend themselves; hence...the Self Defense Force.

Europeans used military force
Foreigners, Occidentals (Westerners) in particular, during the experiences of Japanese Officials, seemed to have a habit of being dishonest. When these foreigners, for example might say, "...we only want to establish a trading base here...", the Japanese would later learn that a new city was being planned instead. When some foreigners might say, "...we only want to teach new religions here...", the Japanese would later learn that citizens were being "forced" to act certain ways or do certain things. Religion is NOT supposed to FORCE anyone to do anything; let alone from some "foreigner"; and especially not in Japan. Consequently in 1600 AD, Ieyasu Tokugawa (1543-1616), the first Shogun of Japan, established the "Shogunate Era" which "Isolated Japan" and lasted from 1600 until 1868, at which time Japan began to industrialize to meet the challenges of the 20th Century. Tokugawa also ordered the seclusion of Japan (Sakoku) to prevent the entry of christianity.
