The Meiji Restoration (明治維新, Meiji-ishin?), also known as the Meiji Ishin, Revolution, or Renewal, was a chain of events that led to enormous changes in Japan's political and social structure. It occurred from 1866 to 1869, a period of three years that traverses both the late Edo period (often called Late Tokugawa shogunate) and the beginning of the Meiji Era.
The Meiji Restoration was the catalyst toward industrialization in Japan that led to the rise of the island nation as a military power by 1905, under the slogan of "National Wealth and Military Strength" (fukoku kyohei, 富国強兵).

Maybe the Boshin war/meiji restoration? That is when the emperor took power from the Shogun by around 1868
