Explanation:
So Japan had a period of moderniziation (The Meiji Restoration Period) where they developed rapidly and managed to get a military and navy similar to the major powers. However, they weren't seen as equals to the Europeans. Now they weren't colonized because, they did isolate themselves but when they were forced out of isolation, they knew they had to modernize or they'll become like the Qing Dynasty (modern day china) and have imperial powers take advantage of them and there lands. So unlike Africa, Japan actually had a realistic chance of defending themselves from invaders, something that would make invading Japan costly. Not only that, but after 1900 it would be almost impossible to treat the Japanese like they did to Africa, as they rapidly grew a European like military and navy. Also, they were one of the 11 nations that sent troops to Peking in the boxer rebellion, which kind of showed how the Japanese weren't equal to the Qing Dynasty, at least in terms of military and navy as they were shown to be much stronger. Finally in 1904, the Russo-Japanese war begun, and while Russia had the largest army in the world at that time (in terms of troop count) the Japanese managed to invade Manchuria which was partially owned by the Russians at that time. Also, they destroyed the Russian naval fleet, ending the chance of Russia ever being able to invade Japan again (at least until WW2). So after the Russo-Japanese war, Japan was considered a great power, and most likely the next asian hegemony, which they were for a time in WW2.

Answer:
Explanation:
thing to keep in mind that during the early 20th century the economy was global at that point. Therefore, even in the closed off economy of the Soviet Union there were repercussions when the Great Depression hit America on the other side of the globe. Keep in mind that not all of these were negative, either.
For example the Soviet Union benefited from the Great Depression by using surplus labor in western countries for specialists in the growing Soviet Union. The Soviet Union brought in engineers, contractors, and farmers, most from Western countries and a lot from the United States. In Kotkin’s book, Magnet Mountain, he describes that a great number of Americans were brought in to build the Soviet Union’s “Gary, Indiana,” at the time the largest producer of steel in the world. Also, in my own specialization there was a great many of farmers from the United States that were brought in to help develop the plan for “mega-farms” in the Soviet Union. These farms would be larger than even farms in the United States, and they used the specialization of the American farmers to plan and organize these farms using their experience. The ability to hire and move these men to the Soviet Union was likely easier because of the depression, the lack of work these people may have had, and in result made it so the Soviet Union could industrialize at a faster rate, and use American experience to do so.
