Japan was able to balance learning with isolationism.
Japan was able to help china improve during imperialism.
Japan was able to build a strong nation-state and modernize their entire nation.

Answer 1

The most accurate explanation from the options provided would be: Japan was able to build a strong nation-state and modernize their entire nation.

By being open to learning from the West, Japan was able to study and adopt Western technology, industrial practices, and political systems. This modernization process allowed Japan to transform from a feudal society into a strong nation-state with a modern economy and military. It is important to note that while Japan did engage in imperialism themselves, the question specifically asks about Japan's experience with American imperialism.
