Explanation:
The weakening of “Tokugawa Shogunate” in Japan was caused due to many factors. Under Tokugawa rule, there was dictatorship of “bakufu”, with the shogun at the top. He was only to be prayed by poeple.
There was unemployment and dissatisfaction in people. So, Japanese started an anti-bakufu movement.
Then there was alliance of “Satsuma” and “Choshu” which led to final collapse of "Tokugawa Shogunate". Gradually, Emperor “Meiji” completely controlled the country and Japan was completely changed and became a world power.
