Question

A) Explain ONE way the event depicted in the image reflects political change in the western Pacific in the late 19th century.

b) Explain ONE way the event depicted in the image reflects economic change in the western Pacific in the 19th century.

c) Explain ONE way the event depicted in the image changed the relationship between European powers and Japan in the late 19th century.

Answer 1

a) The sino-japanese war, a conflict over dominance in Joseon Korea between the Qing dynasty and Japanese Empire, is referenced in the illustration. Therefore, the imperialist mindset that characterized events in the western Pacific during the late 19th century is depicted in this illustration. This was happening as a result of nations wanting to increase their political and economic sway over neighboring and other regions.

b) The illustration illustrates how nations sought to encroach on other areas and employ their resources for the benefit of their own economies. One instance of this is when nations started sending citizens to the Americas to take advantage of the continent's resources for the benefit of their own nations.

c) The image demonstrates how imperialism changed the relationships between European powers and Japan because there was increased competition for land in regions like Africa and Asia and because resources in these regions became valuable to all of the participating countries as they built their respective empires.
