September 19th is remembered for the Meiji Restoration in 1868, a pivotal period in Japanese history that restored imperial rule and led to significant political, social, and economic transformations. The restoration marked the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the beginning of Japan’s modernization and emergence as a global power.
Additionally, September 19th marks the birthday of William Golding in 1911, the British novelist best known for his novel “Lord of the Flies.” Golding’s exploration of human nature and societal breakdown in his works has left a lasting impact on literature, earning him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983.
