Answer: Imperialism.
Explanation:
Japanese imperialism was most evident in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, until World War II. That was the reason the Japanese were continuously arming themselves.

2. pirates - these nations tried to do everything in their power to diminish the authority Spain had in the Americas. This is why they resorted to privateers - that is just a fancy name for pirates who preyed on Spanish ships in order to steal their treasure
