Japan was not modernized at the beginning of the age of Imperialism. After many years of Japanese isolation, the United States wanted Japan to open up their ports to American trade. Japan was forced to industrialize. Japan industrialized so quickly for a number of reasons: everyone in Japan spoke the same language and had the same customs, they had a strong economy, and they had the experience of learning and adapting Western ideas. Social distinctions were erased as people crowded into cities to find work in factories. Japan was able to compete with imperialist European nations, and took over Taiwan and Korea. At the start of the 1900s, Japan was the strongest Asian country.
