The Last Samurai: What Really Happened?

The Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 marked the final stand of the samurai against Japan’s rapid modernization. Led by Saigō Takamori, thousands of warriors rose in defiance of a government that was abandoning centuries of tradition. Armed with swords and a strict code of honor, they faced a modern army equipped with rifles and artillery. Though the samurai were ultimately defeated, their rebellion became a powerful symbol of resistance, marking the end of an era and the birth of a new Japan.
