he French and Indian War, a colonial manifestation of the same forces and tensions that erupted in the European Seven Years' War, was, quite simply, a war about imperialism. The French and the English were competing for land and trading rights in North America; these strivings resulted in a great deal of disputed land, particularly that of the rich Ohio Valley. Each nation saw this territory as vital in its effort to increase its own power and wealth while simultaneously limiting the strength of its rival. Although the war itself therefore stemmed from a fairly simple motivation, its consequences were far- reaching. The English victory in the war decided the colonial fate of North America, and yet at the same time sowed the seeds of the eventual colonial revolution. After the war, the British ended their century-long policy of salutary neglect, attempting to keep the colonials under a more watchful eye. The British also raised taxes in an effort to pay for the war. Both of these postwar policies resulted in massive colonial discontent and added to the budding nationalism that eventually exploded in the Revolutionary War.

2) Literally no one ever conquered Japan. Ask the Mongols- they tried. twice. and failed. twice.
3)Japan only has 20% arable land, so that's not much. And even still, the only country they actually traded with until after their industrialization was the Netherlands.
4) Japan, only a couple hundred miles from China, borrowed many aspect of their culture, which explains why Buddhism played (and still does to an extent) a large role in Japanese society.
