For Germany, the nation-state had its antecedents with Franco -Prussian war in the late 1800s and Japan in the Russia-Japanese war that lead to creating the modern nation-state.

Differences:
Japan had been in a isolation for a very long time under a whole different cultural system (the Shogun) and with the emergence of the nationalism under the rule of Emperor Meiji it started to fully engage in the foreign trade that also eventually paved the way for the creation of a powerful army. (Without Japanese nationalism it would have been hard to imagine the onward expansion and intervention abroad).
