Answer 1

The colonization that was performed by Japan and the European countries had multiple similarities. Both initially developed their industries and made them strong, and only after that started to colonize. The main reasons for the colonization of Africa by the Europeans and by Japan of Asia were to get lot of natural resources and raw materials, while also opening up new markets for their products. Both modernized their armies, made them strong, well trained, and large, so that they can easily conquer the desired territories. Another similarity was that both were very cruel toward the native population, killing, torturing, forcing them to work etc.
