Write a paragraph of not less than eight lines on” How Japan has become an imperialist power”?

Like Western industrialized nations, Japan's economic ambitions fueled its expansionist policies. As a small island nation, Japan lacked important resources for industrial growth, such as coal. Driven by nationalism and a desire to equalize with the West, Japan sought to build an empire. Equipped with a modernized military, including a powerful navy, Japan began to assert its influence in East Asia. It engaged in wars with China and Russia, acquiring new territories and resources. This expansionist policy, fueled by economic needs and national pride, transformed Japan into a significant imperialist power in the early 20th century. Signup and view all the answers
