which far eastern country was successfu; im avoiding european imperalism?

Question

china or japan or indo-chine or korea

Answer 1

Japan.
China was divided by various European countries. The event was called the Cutting of the Chinese Melon.
Korea is still divided since the time the West divided into two states.

Answer 2

Japan was; they took a "if you can't beat them, join them" attitude. They took control of Korea in 1910, and bothered China from 1894 to the end of WW II, and occupied large chunks of China in the 1930s to 1945. Indo-China (got to stop reading those postage stamps) was under French control from the late 19th Century thru 1954. Thailand was also successful in avoiding European imperialism.

Answer 3

Japan was occupied by the US for over seven years after WWII, which I would consider a kind of European Imperialism, albeit a relatively benign form. Historically Thailand is the only nation in that region never to have been officially colonized, although the British government really had their way with them through other means.

Answer 4

Japan

Answer 5

Thailand always kept it's independence, was not involved in imperial conquest in any way (neither was colonized nor was a colonizer) albeit was a struggle. Japan may have kept it's independence, but it was heavily involved in impirialism. Japan believed in colonization. It followed England's model and colonized China: The Korean Peninsula, and other parts.

Japan avoided getting the short end of the stick in imperialism, but it fell into the idea wholeheartedly.

Answer 6

Japan, definitely. It was able to modernize without succumbing to European imperialism. In fact, it was so successful in this respect that it was able to form an empire for itself.

Answer 7

japan.

it eventually signed a treaty (konagawa?) that opend it's ports, but it was never imperialized like china or Korea.

Answer 8
