Answer 1

Japan became the first industrialized nation in Asia

Step-by-step explanation:

Japan was the first Asian country to experience industrialization during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This was largely due to the country's rapid modernization and westernisation in the Meiji era.

The government implemented policies that encouraged the growth of industries such as textiles, shipbuilding, and iron and steel production.
