Answer:
If I were a European leader during the Age of Imperialism, I would attempt to approach my goal of expanding my empire through diplomacy. Much like the control the United States achieved over China through the Open Door Policy, I would try to secure a strong economic influence in the country/territory and create international agreements (which made other countries feel like they had huge influence) to secure my own interests there. Then, I would find a resource that said country/territory could not live without and become the sole provider of said resource. Then, the country would have no choice but to depend on my European power (wah haha). Basically, I would manipulate the country/territory I want into needing my power while making other international powers think that they have a good deal while in reality I have the economic spoils and they have only a little. By using diplomacy rather than force or "international bullying," I have not created much of a conflict. Instead, everyone is blissfully ignorant of the fact that my country has completely taken over. Therefore, this is the perfect solution with definitely no disadvantages.

<span>The arrival of Perry was both a blessing and a curse. Japan had been isolationist for a lengthy period of time and marooned sailors who washed up on the shores of Japan were often mistreated and seen as 'invaders'. Russia and the United States were in a competition for trade in the Pacific and Perry's arrival meant that the United States was seeking better treatment of marooned mariners and use of port facilities. This caused Japan to become more engaged and engaging in international commerce, gave the United States a foothold in a new trade relationship and caused Japan to find the need to modernize, economically, politically and culturally.</span>
