One reason why Japan has such a distinctive culture is because it was closed off from the world from 1623 to 1641. The Tokugawa Shogunate closed Japan because they were afraid of all the new ideas and cultures that came from trading. Because of this period of isolation, Japan created their own unique culture without being influenced by any western ideas.

False. Thomas Jefferson tried to negotiate with the indigenous peoples to purchase land, or to convert them to join the Americans in a peaceful way, seeking to have allies in the American Indians rather than they allied themselves with the British. He created the "program of civilization" to educate Amerindians in American life, and encouraged them to borrow money so that, after borrowing, they would have to settle their debts by selling their lands. Five tribes accepted the Civilization Program and joined Jefferson, known as "Five Civilized Tribes."
Answer:
Leopold II, French in full Léopold-Louis-Philippe-Marie-Victor, Dutch in full Leopold Lodewijk Filips Maria Victor, (born April 9, 1835, Brussels, Belgium—died December 17, 1909, Laeken), king of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909. Keen on establishing Belgium as an imperial power, he led the first European efforts to develop the Congo River basin, making possible the formation in 1885 of the Congo Free State, annexed in 1908 as the Belgian Congo and now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Although he played a significant role in the development of the modern Belgian state, he was also responsible for widespread atrocities committed under his rule against his colonial subjects.
