Problem
An elderly grandfather is speaking with his grandson. The time is 1900 just after Japan's victory in the First Sino-Japanese War.
The grandfather was once a loyal samurai to the shogun before the arrival of the Blackfleet at a time when Japan saw China as the height of East Asian civilisation. He thought Japan was foolish to go to war with China in 1894.
The young grandson was born around 1880 during the Meiji Era. What was his response?
