The Fukushima Incident was a political tumult which took place in Fukushima Prefecture in 1882. The incident started with the appointment of Mishima Michitsune as governor. His rule was contested by two groups, one in Aizu and the other in the east of the prefecture, which remained separate until the end of 1882, when they were drawn together by their shared persecution. ==Fukushima Jiyūtō== The Liberal Party (Jiyūtō) developed a significant organisation in Fukushima. Two branches, one in Aizu and another in the east of the prefecture were established in December 1881, two months after the Party itself was established. They were the largest party in the Fukushima Assembly, holding 24 out of the 62 seats, and also the most effectively organised. In addition, they had members in various positions of responsibility in both areas of influence: village heads (''kochō''), subdistrict heads (''kuchō'') and elected members of assemblies at village and subdistrict level. There were also a number of party members with positions of responsibility within the administration. According to Sato Jiro, Mishima had received three secret orders upon appointment: * To destroy the Jiyūtō * To develop his own party, the newly created Rikken Teiseitō * To build certain roads One of the first things Mishima did was to purge the administration of ninety members of Jiyūtō – this includes school teachers who were government employees. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fukushima Incident」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
