Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Japan replaced China as the dominant power in East Asia beginning in 1899. Japan's rapid modernization and rise as a major imperial power, coupled with China's decline and weakness, allowed Japan to exert its influence and control in East Asia. This culminated in Japan's victory over China in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) and ultimately Japan's domination of much of East Asia during World War II.
