Answer 1

The event that most directly led to the Meiji Restoration is the **Boshin War**. The Boshin War (1868-1869) was a civil war in Japan between the forces of the Tokugawa shogunate and those seeking to return to imperial rule, which ultimately resulted in the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate and the restoration of power to the Emperor, marking the beginning of the Meiji Era.
