Gum card from the set UNCLE SAM by Philadelphia company Gum Inc (now defunct), published in 1941 shortly before Pearl Harbor. The focus of the set was directed to US preparedness for hostilities, and it is devoid of the vivid and horrifying details of the overseas warfare which was already taking place.

Right after the foreign interventions, the Shogunal government also launched its own preparations for a punitive expedition against Chōshū, the First Chōshū expedition. The expedition was aimed at punishing the 1864 Kinmon incident in which Chōshū forces attacked Shogunal forces in Kyoto. The expedition was however cancelled after a compromise was brokered, involving the beheading of the leaders of the rebellion. At the same time as this campaign, the British Royal Navy engaged Satsuma samurai at the Bombardment of Kagoshima, one of the several engagements of the Japanese conflict of 1863 and 1864.
