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:
The cartoon expresses a view of utter contempt for Chamberlain, who was the British Prime Minister at the time.
Explanation:
The Munich Agreement was signed by Britain, France, Italy (Germany's ally), and Germany, and what the pact allowed Germany to annex a portion of Czeckoslovakia named the "Sudeteland", mostly inhabited by Ethnic Germans.
Hitler had threatened with starting a war if the pact was not signed, and claimed that the Sudeteland would be the last land annexation of Nazi Germany in Europe.
British leader Chamberlain, and French leader Philippe Pétain believed in Hitler's word, and signed the agreement.
The agreement was obviously a failure, because only a year later Germany would launch the invasion of Poland, starting World War II.
For this reason, both Chamberlain and Pétain are seen by historians as ineffective leaders.
