Answer: C. Japan during the Meiji Restoration
Explanation: Meiji Restoration, or else known as Honorable Restoration is actually a Revolution in Japan, also can be seen as a reform, is an event from 1868 when an empire was returned to the Empire of Japan to rule this country, under Tsar Meiji. Of course, before him there were emperors who ruled, but with his arrival the political system in the Empire was restored, as was the great industrialisation of Japan by the model of the Western countries.
Russia, although a large country, did not have a developed industry during the 19th century. Largely due to the interests of landowners, whom any more advanced industrialisation would jeopardise their financial interests. Although Russia had a tough industry like mining, and finding oil, but it was weak compared to the western empires. After the defeat in the War in the Crimea (1853 - 1856), the need for industrialisation was shown because, among other things, there was a great need for the production of weapons. Also, the railway was inadequate for the needs of such a large country.
Thus began the industrialisation by the Meiji model in Japan and one of the bigger and more important investments was the Trans Siberian Railway.
