Answer:
c. Sent many Japanese abroad to be educated in the ways of the west and adopted many western reforms in political and military organization.
Explanation:
The Meiji Reformation was a time in the history of Japan that brought the biggest change in the nation's political as well as military scene. This period of change made Japan into a modern nation-state.
This period began in 1868 after the emperor adopted the Charter Oath that gave him the power to make changes to the nation. Japan had seen and observed that the most powerful nation, China, had been defeated by the Western powers. And so, Japan decided that it must try to be the same as western nations if she is to be safe from any attacks. This was what primarily led to the Meiji Restoration.
Japan then began welcoming western technology and merchants into the nation. The scholars and government began adopting western methods, including the many reforms regarding the military as well as political spheres. According to Japan, the only way to defeat western power is to be like them, equal to them in every form.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Answer:
The biggest difference between Wilson's Fourteen points and the Paris Peace Conference agreement was on how to deal with the war losses and the socio-economic future of Europe.
Explanation:
Woodrow Wilson did not talk about war repatriation or any 'revenge' upon an enemy nation. Instead he spoke about the rights of people, discussed free trade and an end to hostilities and also discussed the formation of a few borders, especially an Independent Polish State and the future of the Ottoman Empire.
This however, did not go down well with the European powers, who had bared the real cost of the war. The French industry had collapsed under German pressure and the country was looking for millions in repatriation costs.
The Russians were not happy with an Independent 'Polish' State and had their own claim to the region.
Eventually, the 14 points were rejected, which many claim, eventually led to the second world war.
