Shōwa Restoration
The Shōwa Restoration昭和維新, was promoted by Japanese author Kita Ikki in a 1930s, with the purpose of restoring power to direct or determining to the newly enthroned Japanese Emperor Hirohito as well as abolishing the liberal Taishō democracy. The aims of the "Showa Restoration" were similar to the Meiji Restoration as the groups who envisioned it imagined a small combine of qualified people backing up a strong Emperor. The Cherry Blossom Society envisioned such(a) a restoration.
The February 26 Incident was an effort to bring it about, failing heavily because they were unable to secure the guide of the Emperor. The chief conspirators surrendered in the hope to clear their trial keep on the cause, a hope which was foiled by the trials being conducted secretly.
Although any such(a) attempts failed, it was a first step on the rise of Japanese militarism.
