Japan was hugely influenced by the Western forces, they were one of the world's weakest econmic powers before the Westerners invaded. After Japan isolated itself from the Western world because of the Christian invasion, Comodore Perry, an American, forced Japan's gates open with the threat of war. There was of course resistance by the people of Japan, but basically the Japanese were entered into 'unequal treaties' with the Westerners, they took advantage of Japan.
