Answer: C. creating a buffer against Western influence.

The main purpose of the Japanese imperial expansion was the desire to create a buffer against Western influence. Japan felt that the West and their imperialist plans were likely to continue to spread. Instead of waiting for these countries to overtake them, Japan wanted to develop its capabilities and engage in imperialism themselves. In order to fulfill this goal, they greatly developed their military. They also engaged in intense modernization and industrialization.

Creating a buffer zone against Western influence was the argument given for Japanese imperial expansion.

Further Explanations:

Japanese imperial was the act of expansion of the Japanese to expand its influence in the Pacific fleet and eradicate the influence of western nations. The expansion in Eastern Asia started with the attack of Manchuria in 1931 and ended with a brutal attack on China in 1937. Japanese imperial army successfully occupied Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan during heir expansion.

To fulfill their desire they conspired against the United States and attacked Pearl Harbour on 7th December 1941. They thought that continuous attacks on the United States weaken its strength which will directly reduce its influence in the Pacific fleet. The main intent of the attack of Pearl Harbour was to prevent American intervention in its annexation of Dutch East Indies and Malaya. The annexation would also help the Japanese to continue its further annexation towards Southeast Asia. During the “Second World War”, it too allied with Germany and Italy to fight against America.

CHRONOLOGY

Japan, 1800–1900 A.D.

Overview

In the nineteenth century, Japan experiences a dramatic shift from the conservative, isolationist policies of the shōgun-dominated

Edo period

to the rapid and widespread drive to modernize and engage with the rest of the world that characterizes the Meiji Restoration. During the first half of the century, decades of fiscal and social disruption caused by the growth of a market economy and a complex monetary system in a country that is still officially based on agriculture, which supports both the farming and privileged but unproductive

samurai classes

, continues to weaken the country in general and the

Tokugawa regime

in particular. Increasingly aggressive intrusions by Western powers not only puts pressure on Japan but convinces its political leaders that the Seclusion Policy has limited the country’s participation in technological advances and worldwide changes and also handicapped the economy by restricting its involvement in global trade. Taking advantage of the disruption caused by these internal and external crises, in 1867 several powerful daimyo (regional warlords) band together and overthrow Shōgun Yoshinobu (1837–1913), forcing him to resign authority. Marching into the imperial capital Kyoto, they “restore” Emperor Mutsuhito (1852–1912) to power and establish the Meiji (“enlightened rule”) Restoration.

In the name of Emperor Meiji, numerous striking and far-reaching social, political, and economic changes are legislated through a series of edicts. Japan also opens its borders, sending several high-ranking expeditions abroad and inviting foreign advisors—including educators, engineers, architects, painters, and scientists—to assist the Japanese in rapidly absorbing modern technology and Western knowledge. Throughout the century, however, the drive to Westernize is paralleled by continued isolationist tendencies and a desire to resist foreign influences. Eventually, as has happened numerous times in the nation’s history, after the Japanese assimilate what has been borrowed, they use these imports to formulate a new but distinctly Japanese modern society.
