Fall of Edo
text:
The Fall of Edo, also known as Edojō Akewatashi and Edo Muketsu Kaijō, took place in May and July 1868, when the Japanese capital of Edo, controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate, fell to forces favorable to the restoration of Emperor Meiji during the Boshin War. Saigō Takamori, leading the victorious imperial forces north and east through Japan, had won the Battle of Kōshū-Katsunuma in the approaches to the capital. He was eventually able to surround Edo in May 1868. Katsu Kaishū, the shōgun's Army
