Japan has always been independent. Unlike many other countries in Asia, Japan was never taken as a colony by a Western power. The only small footnote is that Japan was occupied by the U.S. following World War II (from 1945 to 1951), but that is different from colonization.
No. Of all the countries in the world that Britain ever had influence in, Japan was never a part of Britains catalogue of dominion. Japan has always been an independent nation. Japan was never part of the British Empire.
No, never. Japan has always been independent and self-governing.
It never gained independence as it was not a democratic. It never gained independence from anyone because it was never under the control of any other country. Actually it did gain independence again in 1952 from US occupation after World War II. The state does not need to be democratic to be independent, and Japan operates under a parliamentary government with a constitutional monarchy. Ending an occupation does not imply gaining independence. It simply means an occupying power leaving the country and restoring/handing back administration of the affairs of a country to its nationals. Otherwise, Uganda would have another independence after Tanzanian troops pulled out after liberating it in 1979 (in addition to the one in 1962).
Korea has always been an independent nation. Of course there were periods of contraversy , but the country has been able to keep their name, though occupation may have been involved.
