Ōkuma Shigenobu
Marquess was a Japanese politician who served as the prime minister of Japan in 1898, and from 1914 to 1916. Born in the Saga Domain, Ōkuma was appointed minister of finance soon after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, aided by his friendship with '' genrō'' Inoue Kaoru. He unified the nation's currency and created the national mint before being dismissed in 1881 after a long series of disagreements with members of the Satsuma and Chōshū cliques in the Meiji oligarchy. In 1882, Ōkuma formed the Rikken Kaishintō party and founded Waseda University.

Ōkuma again returned to politics in 1896, merging the Kaishintō with several smaller nationalist parties to form the Shimpotō party in March 1896, and becoming foreign ...

Political Parties Established In 1913
Politics () is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science. Politics may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and non-violent, or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but the word often also carries a negative connotation.. The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or in a limited way, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it. A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising internal and external f ...
