The Teikokutō (Japanese : 帝国党, lit. Empire Party) was a political party in Japan. It was active from 1899 until 1905.

Japanese is an East Asian language spoken by about 128 million people, primarily in Japan, where it is the national language. It is a member of the Japonic language family, and its relation to other languages, such as Korean, is debated. Japanese has been grouped with language families such as Ainu, Austroasiatic, and the now-discredited Altaic, but none of these proposals has gained widespread acceptance.

History

The party was established on 5 July 1899 as a successor to the Kokumin Kyōkai. [1] It initially had 21 seats and was supportive of the government and army, calling for increased military spending. [1] In the 1902 elections it won 17 seats, retaining all 17 in the 1903 elections and going on to win 19 in the 1904 elections.
