Used western methods to modernize.

Japan modernized the country to mimic western countries to prevent an imperialistic takeover of their land.

To become an modern country, Japan sent delegates to England and the US to study their methods of industrialization, government practices, and culture. The Japanese began a steel industry which became the cornerstone of their industrialization. They shifted the government to be more democratic and even brought in cultural elements such as golf and baseball. Japan began to expand in the western model as well becoming an imperial power in the East.

Answer:

After the arrival of US Commodore Perry in 1853, Japan ended with 251 years of isolation and exclusion policies (Sakoku), thus opening the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to trade with the United States and later the rest of the world.

Explanation:

The Kanagawa treaty was signed on March 31, 1854 between Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States and the authorities of Japan, in the Japanese port of Shimoda.

The Kanagawa Treaty was followed by the Treaty of Amity and Commerce of 1858, which allowed the concession of foreign establishments, extra territories for them and minimum tariffs for US imports.

Similar treaties were subsequently negotiated with Russians, French and British.

What motivated England to colonize the New World? How similar to or different from Spain’s motives, dis-cussed in Chapter 1, wer

Tema [17]

Answer:

In the first place, to create its ultramarine Empire just like Spain and Portugal. And second, because England was late on this process because of the political problems and the constant wars which were involved. But the colonization process of what later became known as the Thirteen Colonies was different from Spain or Portugal because the puritans were going there to settle, and these colonies were created under moral, philosophical and religious rules, which motivated different behaviors related to trade and market.

Explanation:

The religious persecution of Puritans, the English Calvinists, especially after the creation of Anglicanism with Henry VIII, led them to move to America. The objective was to create living spaces where they could freely exercise their religious precepts. In addition to the political and religious disputes, which in different periods took Anglicans and Puritans to America, there was also the expulsion of a large part of the peasant population from the fields, mainly with the Fences. This process of land encircling by large landowners generated an urban population swelling, contributing for part of the population to emigrate to North America. All these aspects lead to creating colonies strictly based on the settlement, different from the Iberian colonization that was based on exploration.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

A.US manufacturing had surpassed industrialized Britain, and the United States had become the world’s largest producer.

Explanation:

The other answers are simply impossible or make little sense. China, Russia, and Latin America were agricultural societies.

Brittain was the leading industrial nation during most of the 1800s. But the Second Industrial revolution brought changes that benefited the United States.

The railroad connected the vast territory and allowed for rapid development, coal and oil helped the industry. A huge internal market gave companies unparalleled opportunities for business.

Finally, steel and oil boomed and made the US the leading industrial country by the turn of the century.
