The Dutch and French approach to colonization were much different than English efforts. One area where this is evident is each groups relationship with Native American groups. The English consistently struggled with developing positive relationships with Natives, as the first permanent English settlement (Jamestown) saw constant fighting between the English and Powahatan Confederacy. However, the Dutch and French became allies with the Native Americans. The French were able to establish a very successful fur trade with the Huron tribe.
After 1900 Japan aligned itself with Britain, and Germany and Japan were enemies in World War I. Japan declared war on the German Empire in 1914 and seized key German possessions in China and the Pacific. In the 1930s, both countries adopted aggressive militaristic attitudes toward their respective regions. Hope this helped!!
