The Boshin War was the means by which Satsuma-Choshu oligarchs imposed their vision for Japan at the point of a gun.
My PhD thesis about the Northern Alliance, one group that fought them, is free to read via the link. It was panned for "reading too much like a novel," so you should totally read it!

Life has already taught them that lesson and in the worst ways. What they need is a reminder that kindness, compassion, generosity and charity still exist without strings attached and its okay to want and not just need, it's okay to have joy. Give back, pay it forward, spread good tidings and cheer.

the Will to Comedic Power is much more useful than nearly anything because laughing is great for the abs and also prevents screaming, which is bad for the voice
