During the 1800s, the United States claimed several territories as part of its imperial expansion, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, following the Spanish-American War in 1898. Additionally, the U.S. annexed Hawaii in 1898 and expanded its influence in places like Samoa and parts of the Pacific.

Africa was the continent most divided by European imperial expansion, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized the partitioning of Africa among European powers, leading to the establishment of arbitrary borders that disregarded ethnic and cultural boundaries. This division resulted in significant political and social upheaval, impacts that are still felt in many African countries today.

Imperial Japan grew as a world power during the early years of the 20th century. They were prominent and became members of the League of Nations after WW1. The territorial expansion of Japan was a deep concern for many nations of the world when Japan invaded China in 1931.

Invading other countries is the reason for the concern of other nations.
The British were interested in Asian countries primarily for their vast resources, strategic trade routes, and potential for economic gain. Colonies in India, for example, provided valuable raw materials such as cotton and spices, and served as a crucial market for British manufactured goods. Additionally, controlling key territories allowed Britain to expand its naval and military power in the region, ensuring dominance over global trade networks. This pursuit of wealth and influence drove British imperial expansion throughout Asia during the 18th and 19th centuries.
