Well, clearly you are a well read person. You will see a pattern in Turkey, China and Japan. When exposed to European superiority there were two impulses. One to go insular and go clutch tradition or face the Europeans by adapting liberally from them - the ideas and thoughts that gave them the edge. This also included the outer manifestation of dress etc. That is why you will see Chinese banned the pig tail. The Turks banned the traditional Ottoman Fez cap. The process of adapting European ideas was not easy as many forces within Turkey, China and Japan opposed them. It was at times a bloody affair but the pro west forces won. And in doing so put those nations on road to where they are today.I would go on to say the 1898 Boxer Rebllion was the start of Changes what occured in China, Turkey and China went through a simmlar process both the Qing and Ottomans tried to reform but failed due to the monarchs decadence and clinging to negatives of traditional culture I mean 40 years before Ataturk ablioshed the Ottoman Empire the Ottomans were the first Muslim State to have Democracy and a Parlamient however those were cosmetic, China,and Turkey had to deal with hard truths and pain to get where they are today
