Civilopedia entry[]
In Meiji Japan, westernization meant more than a cultural change; it was an alteration in systems of authority. Based on German imperial bureaucracy, the Meiji administration sought to keep the emperor at the heart of things. The Supreme War Council was a means to this end, and it created a collection of ministers and heads of staff that responded directly to the emperor, bypassing civilian oversight. These were the rails on which fascism could run and were a key part of the Meiji administration’s steps towards an eventual authoritarian government.
