How Japan Speedran 200 Years of Progress
Come with me on a trip to Japan, March 1-7 2026! https://trovatrip.com/trip/asia/japan/japan-with-jack-rackam-mar-2026 I’m going to lie to you. Click click, swoosh, transition. I’m going to tell you a very popular story in Japanese history, it’s a story about how Japan overthrew the shogun and restored power to emperor Meiji, and I want you to see if you can spot the lie, because you might have heard it before and if you’re like me, you might have believed it.
