Japan emerged in 1853 from two and a half centuries of self-imposed peaceful isolation, but within a few decades the country’s leaders embarked on a policy of aggressive territorial expansion. During the last half of the nineteenth century, the Western imperialist powers of England, France, and Germany established the model for acquisition of colonies in Asia and for the partition of China into spheres of influence. Near the end of the century, about the same time Japan began to capture colonial territory, the United States and Russia also initiated their imperialistic expansion in Asia.This paper will examine four of the most influential theories of imperialism to determine whether they can provide explanations for Japan’s imperialism from 1894 to 1910, when Japan formally annexed Korea. The four theories to be reviewed will be Hobson's theory of domestic market underconsumption that leads to capitalists seeking profits overseas, Lenin's theory of the monopoly stage of capitalism, Schumpeter's theory of inherited warlike tendencies from prior generations, and nationalism's focus on politics as the critical factor. Although other theories of imperialism exist, these four theories cover a broad range of economic, political, and sociological factors that could explain Japan’s imperialistic expansion. This essay's review of Japan's history of imperialism from 1894 to 1910 will show that the theory of nationalism provides the best explanations of the causes of Japan's militaristic actions and colonial acquisitions, although Schumpeter's sociological-based theory seems to provide some explanation for the actions of the Meiji Period (1868-1912) leaders.</span>

Stalingrad is now called Volgograd, a city located in southwestern Russia on the Volga River.
<h3>What is Volgograd?</h3>
Volgograd, formerly Tsaritsyn and Stalingrad, is a city and administrative center of Volgogradoblast, southwestern Russia.
In 1589, Volgograd was founded as the fortress of Tsaritsyn to protect newly acquired Russian territory along the Volga. Joseph Stalin organized the defense of the city in a major battle against the White Russian armies during the Russian Civil War, and the city was later renamed in his honor.
From August 1942 to February 1943, one of the decisive battles of World War II took place there. The German armies, at the limit of their advance, attempted to capture Stalingrad after bitter fighting during which the city was reduced to rubble, an army group of some 300,000 men was annihilated, and the German salient was cut off.
