Talk:Saga Rebellion

Absurdly Large Imperial Army Size
The claim that the imperial government mobilised 906,679 troops against the Saga rebels seems completely absurd. Sources for the Satsuma Rebellion e.g. p.45 here claim between 45,000 and 70,000 troops mobilised in 1877, for a war which lasted considerably longer. Plus, the Japanese page accounts for 4,674 troops, plus 4 platoons of unspecified size. Because of that, I don't think it can be explained as merely a digit being wrong; it's a fully made-up number. 42.2.158.120 (talk) 14:01, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
