Some people would say it was justified and others would say it wasn't, but Kōtoku Shūsui, a Socialist leader in Japan, vividly described in 1901 Imperialism's serious drawbacks (Iriye 1972, 75):
"Imperialists in Japan and elsewhere are like drunken men, intoxicated by patriotism and militarism, which are nothing but expressions of their animal instincts. They bleed people white with taxes, expand armaments, divert productive capital for unproductive ends, cause prices to rise, and invite excessive imports. These are all for the sake of the state. Government, education, commerce, and industry are sacrificed to patriotism, which is the root of militarism and imperialism."
NO. Imperialism and subjugation of other peoples is almost never justified. The crimes and atrocities that the US committed in Cuba and the Philippines are innumerable.
Its as important as any other nation's history on the subject of imperialism. In fact Britain's imperialism record might be greater than Japans as England colonized far more territory than Japan ever did.

New imperialism differed from old imperialism in several key ways. Unlike old imperialism, new imperialism was driven by industrialization and the desire for raw materials and markets. It also involved the colonization of territories in Africa and Asia, rather than just trading posts. Additionally, new imperialism was characterized by a more aggressive and militaristic approach by European powers, leading to increased competition and conflict among them.
NO. Beveridge was known as a strong Imperialist and actively supported American expansion and Imperialism. His arguments were very similar to Rudyard Kipling's "White Man's Burden" and Social Darwinism in terms of why he justified the expansion of American power.
The war qualified Japan to commence Imperialism; it demonstrated that they had the means and skills to do it.
