For the case of Japan, in 1868 new government of Japan underway
after Shogun decided to reestablish prerogatives of the Emperor's removal in
peace. Political style had altered from the shogunate to constitutional empire,
which constitution was founded on German's Staatsrecht those days. Japan
was reorganized and swayed by western society and culture but Japanese
government didn't follow as same. Instead Japan adapt and select some parts of
them only very suitable for them. Japan tried to draw near with West and
USA. They completed a lot of allocation to get worldwide rational, knowledge
and education for evading from the closed society (national isolation) in the
world.
For the case of the US, Twain and Warner were not erroneous
about the era’s exploitation, but the years between 1877 and 1900 were likewise
some of the utmost significant and active in American history. They set in signal
advances that would mold the country for generations like the reunification of
the South and North, the incorporation of four million anew unbound African
Americans, westward growth, immigration, industrialization, and urbanization.
The American colonists were all similar in several ways. The
colonists had their own self government system and the people governing were
chosen mostly from farmers that had their own lands and also voted for the provincial
government. All the colonies were similar in the fact that all white men had
the voting rights and most black men were slaves. All the colonies were rich
and had good amount of food and so their growth rate was also very high.
It would be the "Midway Atoll" that is is south of the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and this was the location of one of the most pivotal battles between the US and Japan in World War II.
I'm not really in this but hope this helps.
