After [[Meiji Restoration]] of 1868, Japan saw the rise of several large business enterprises. These enterprises expanded during World War I. Each zaibatsu typically had a single family in control. The Allies ended the zaibatsus after World War II, but many of the individual companies that were part of the zaibatsu continued to survive.
