Claim
At the start of the 18th century, Japan almost completely cut itself off from the outside world under a policy called Sakoku.
“18वीं सदी की शुरुआत में जापान ने खुद को बाहरी दुनिया से लगभग पूरी तरीके से काट लिया... और इस नीति को साकोकू नीति कहते हैं।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion (Japan isolated itself under the Sakoku policy) is correct, but the stated date is wrong: Sakoku was imposed in the 1630s — the early/mid 17th century — not 'the start of the 18th century.' The contradicted date detail makes it inaccurate.
