this is the answer i submitted, don't copy word for word or you'll fail lol

1: China created their own spheres of influence around the nation. One of the regions that were influenced by China is Korea. The Peninsula of Korea was mainly influenced by China for a long time, but Japan ultimately ended up taking over China because if Korea is influenced by China, Japan could make its own changes to control Korea. After Japan took over China, the government had weakened and was vulnerable to getting the large amounts of resources they had taken away from them by imperialist. China would have been at less risk if there was more control over all of their goods, but they were unfortunately the main target. The European interlopers made China backdown to prevent even more damage, but China kept resisting. This lead to China being defeated multiple times, and resulted in an even weaker government. After the Opium wars, Opium became an epidemic because of how many people were addicted to the drug.

2: Europe was motivated by the economic expansion, political power, rivalry, and others. If the economy were to grow larger, more resources would come in, and they could get them for a lower price. And make their own markets and sell their own goods as well. European nations spread their influence across the globe with imperial power. They influenced nations around the globe with their religion, education system, governing system, and the different languages in Europe. Many nations in Europe like Algeria, Korea, and Congo became independent and grew their economy over time. Korea was (or still is) the tenth largest economy in the world. They made a good recovery after a long time of loss.
