In the 19th century, Japan established two principal military academies to train its officers: the Army Academy, founded in 1868, and the Naval Academy, founded in 1869. These institutions were central to Japan's efforts to modernize its military forces following the Meiji Restoration. Both academies were eventually disbanded after World War II.12
