Why did the Japanese build an empire in Asia?

In World War I, Japan entered on the side of the Allied Powers and picked off Germany's colonial empire in the Pacific Ocean.

This was probably the high-water mark of Japan's acceptance by the Western powers prior to 1945.

And to this point, Japan had really acted exactly as the various European colonial powers had.
