government-directed economic reforms

Explanation: The Meiji government drove rapid industrialization through state-led policies — land-tax reform, infrastructure (railways, telegraphs), modern banking, education, promotion of zaibatsu, and sending students/experts abroad — which transformed Japan's economy and enabled later military successes and renegotiation of treaties.
