The correct statement regarding why Japan avoided colonization is:

**By quickly industrializing, Japan was able to build a capitalist economy and their military.**

Japan's rapid industrialization during the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912) allowed it to modernize its economy and military, enabling the country to resist Western imperialism and maintain its sovereignty. This transformation helped Japan emerge as a world power and avoid the fate of many other Asian nations that were colonized.
