Well, to put it simply, after being forced to switch on and off, domestic forces reshuffled, shady factions launched an uprising, overthrew the Tokugawa era, established the Meiji famine, began the Meiji Restoration, and embarked on the capitalist road.

However, Japan itself does not have some conditions (resources and markets) to develop the capitalist road, so it will expand, targeting North Korea and China. Through the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, stepping on Japanese bones and eating Japanese flesh and blood laid the foundation for development! During World War I, it seized the German rights and interests in China, used Yuan Shikai's "2 1 article" to betray the country, drank China's blood again, embarked on the road of becoming a powerful country and entered the ranks of powerful countries! Until he was trampled to death in World War II.
