In the mid and late 19th century Japan searched for the best instructors in western military science. They selected the French to instruct their army & the Britain to train their navy. After the French were defeated by Germany during the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, Japan exchanged their French instructors for German Cadre for their army; but retained their British Cadre for their navy. With training completed; The Japanese Army & Navy tested themselves against China during the 1st Sino-Japanese war of 1894. With victory complete; The Japanese corrected any shortcomings, and rebuilt & re-supplied and went to war with Czarist Russia in 1904-1905. With victory again completed; they learned new lessons (they didn't want to fight Russia anymore!), re-grouped, re-paired, re-armed, and joined the Allies during WWI (1914-1918). Taking German possessions thru-out Asia and the Pacific, they fortified them in preparation for the future (WWII). From the 1930's until Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Japanese CONTINUED (mostly in Manchuria) to train (practice), and train (practice), and train (practice).
