Answer
Contact with Western countries was the major reason for the internal turmoil during Emperor Kōmei's reign. This is because Japan had been closed off to the outside world for centuries, and the sudden arrival of Western ships and people was a shock to the Japanese people. Many Japanese people were afraid of the foreigners and their technology, and they did not want Japan to change.
