What does imperialism mean in Japan?

In Japan, imperialism refers to the period of aggressive expansion and colonial rule that began in the late 19th century, particularly during the Meiji Restoration. This era saw Japan transform from a feudal society into a modern industrial power, leading to the acquisition of territories such as Taiwan, Korea, and parts of China. Japanese imperialism was driven by a desire for resources, strategic advantage, and national prestige, ultimately contributing to conflicts in the region, including World War II. The legacy of Japanese imperialism continues to influence its relationships with neighboring countries today.
