 Chinese soldiers are portrayed of being a coward and ugly and also being not able to fight properly and running away. On the other hand, Japanese soldiers are seen as powerful and god like, they do not die, and also, generous in a sense, they protect the enemy’s baby in some of the pictures.

 Yes, the weapons are different. Japanese wear western clothing and rifles with long samurai swords while Chinese primarily uses basic weapons such as spear and arrows. This tells us that Japanese technology advanced to an extant in which they are able to take over a country that over powers it is both land mass and army size.

 Sports become symbolic battlegrounds because people feel and like to feel that their country is better than any other countries and also, skill’s of the national teams in sports show the economic power of each nations because the sport player having good skills mean that the government invested that much to him or her and this investment shows //Why does this matter to a people? What do they find so gratifying in the experience of witnessing their team beat another in the arena of sport?//  that the nation’s so rich and peaceful that it can focus on the sport and develop it, I think.

 Imperialism and colonialism is simply about militarily and politically controlling another nation. However, ruling over a nation means that it is proving its self-perceived cultural superiority over another. Any nation can conquer another nation if the nation goes in debt and hire mercenaries and etc, but it cannot rule over them unless they show some sort of acceptance and the fact that their culture is the best with justifiable proofs.

 * <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">1905 was a turning point in Japanese and World History because it was the time when Japanese started gaining power and show that power to the world. By conquering Korean and winning Chinese and Russinas at war, they were able to show the world that now if asian countries westernize themselves and cause develop their own technologies then they would be able to conquer even the western nations and big nations that seem to be stronger and powerful than their own country is

 * <span style="color: #ffffff; display: inline !important;">They are similar in that they are oath made to specifically help Korea and Japan to have western ideas.

However, Japan achieved its objectives and had fairly positive outcomes. They were able to successfully modernize themselves and made it better and became number two, now three, in world economy.
