Japan was one of the only Nations who did not get directly colonized. But in 1853 under Commodore Matthew Perry, the Pacific American Navy arrived on Japanese shores to force open up Japanese isolation using "gunboat diplomacy" which works a something like this, "Open up your country or we will shoot you with our gunboats" and so the Tokugawa Shogunate agreed to Perry's terms without a fight. This made the Tokugawa's leadership highly unpopular and the Emperor of Japan took over and gained its former political and military power. The era was known as the Meiji Restoration which also modernized Japan with new western technology. Japan in the future during WW2 then became an Imperial powerhouse conquering most of East and South-East Asia under the Rising Sun.

The Mexican War of independence had ended 300 years of Spanish Rule, but civil war had erupted in 1910 which was the Conservatives against the liberals. This war lasted 14 years. This war eventually led to a revolutionary victory and concluded the Mexican Revolution.
