Japan's expansion began in the late 19th century, particularly during the Meiji Restoration, which started in 1868. This period marked Japan's rapid modernization and military expansion, leading to conflicts such as the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). These victories allowed Japan to establish itself as a dominant power in East Asia and laid the groundwork for further territorial ambitions in the early 20th century.
