'''Zaibatsu''' (zye-BAHT-soo) is a large and powerful [[Japan]]ese business conglomerate, especially in [[bank]]ing. The word is based on the Japanese word for money ("zai") and clan ("batsu").
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.
