The Satsuma Rebellion: Online Simulation

Japan stands on the edge of transformation – and on the brink of chaos. In this high-stakes simulation, you become the Meiji Emperor, supreme guardian of a nation caught between centuries-old samurai honor and the unstoppable tide of modernization. The Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 erupts like a storm, led by warriors who refuse to let their world die. Provinces smolder, armies gather, and the empire looks to you for direction.

• Will you crush the rebellion with overwhelming force?
• Seek peace with men who feel betrayed by the nation they once served?
• Or forge a bold new path that neither side expects?

Every choice ripples across the empire. Every hesitation could cost you the nation itself. The destiny of modern Japan is in your hands!
