Reischauer called a "centralized feudal" form of government. Instrumental in the rise of the new bakufu was Tokugawa Ieyasu, the main beneficiary of the achievements of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

He was not afraid to pay a heavy price, including the division between the westernized elite and the peasant masses, to transform Russia into a major modern power. Peter’s reforms undeniably have some positive impacts that deserve an appreciation. Meanwhile, I do not believe that some of Peter’s methods to modernize his people, such as through their appearance and clothing, were necessary or even useful.…
