History of Japan
Anti-foreign sentiment refers to the feelings of hostility, distrust, or resentment towards foreign nations and their influence within a country. In the context of Japan during the 19th century, this sentiment was particularly pronounced during the decline of the Tokugawa shogunate and the subsequent restoration of imperial rule, as many Japanese felt threatened by the encroachment of Western powers and sought to preserve their national identity and sovereignty.
