| T able of contents
In the mid 19th century, China and Japan, with their populations of 400 and 4445 million people respectively, were the largest countries in the Far East. Despite their differences, they shared numerous similarities. Both were fairly well-developed feudal states where social and economic conditions were comparable to those of medieval Europe. In both countries, the emperor, surrounded by the aura of divinity, held supreme power. In reality, that power was limited by the influence of local feudal lords and officials. Finally, both countries adopted policies of isolationism, locking themselves away from the outside world in the belief of their own superiority and perfection. Both China and Japan had contact with European countries in the 16th century and had even traded with them, but these relationships were limited and subject to severe restrictions.
