August 1864 CE

Troops from Chōshū Domain attempt to take control of Kyoto and the Imperial Palace in the Hamaguri rebellion of August 20, 1864, in order to pursue the objective of Sonnō Jōi (”Revere the emperor, expel the barbarians”), a Japanese political philosophy and a social movement derived from Neo-Confucianism; in the 1850s, it had become a political slogan in the movement to overthrow the Tokugawa bakufu, during the Bakumatsu ("End of Bakufu") period.

This leads to a punitive expedition by the Tokugawa government, the First Chōshū expedition.
