The correct response is:
**Western imperialist powers realized that Japan was on the way to becoming a powerful empire, just like they already were. This made Japan a friend.**
After the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), Japan emerged as a significant military power in East Asia, having defeated China, a historically dominant force in the region. This shift prompted Western powers to reconsider their approach to Japan, recognizing it as a rising power rather than a weak nation. Consequently, they were more inclined to engage positively with Japan to foster diplomatic and economic ties, seeing it as a potential ally in balancing power in the region against other colonial interests.
