Buddhism, known as the fourth largest Indian religion of the world and the two main forms of Buddhism are Theravada Buddhism and Mahayana.  

Theravada Buddhism: It is the one of the branch of Buddhism and believed as oldest form. Burma, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam are some of the countries in which this form of Buddhism is performed. It is an orthodox tradition and thus it emphasizes walking on the same path as ancient Buddhism did.

Mahayana Buddhism: Mahayana Buddhism is one of the two major branches of Buddhism in the present time. It is initiated from India and spread northwards to many other Asian countries, such as China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Tibet, Bhutan, Mongolia and Singapore. There are further subdivisions of the Mahayana sect, such as Zen / Chan, the Holy Land, Tiantai, Nichiren, Shingon, Tendai and Tibetan Buddhism.

In the 1920, did japan become more or less prosperous? More or less democratic?
valkas [14]

The correct answer is more prosperous and less democratic

Japanese conquests led to a wave of euphoria and enthusiasm in Japan, which, coupled with extensive indoctrination, developed a strong nationalism that defended imperialist ambitions. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, there was an extreme right-wing authoritarian regime in Japan that fueled nationalist militarism and Japanese imperialism.

This nationalist and imperialist discourse in Japan claimed that the mission in China was unique and exclusively civilizing, but it is known that Japanese interests were motivated by economic issues. During the 1930s, two incidents led to the Japanese invasion of Manchuria (northeastern China) and, finally, the start of the war.
