Japan was also able to resist European colonization. Instead, its government established a strong influential presence in Taiwan, Korea, and South Sakhalin. The government was aware of the threat of Western invasion and in response, it initiated the Meiji Restoration of 1868. This social and political reform readied the country to successfully defeat Qing China during the First Sino-Japanese War. When Russia later attempted to invade, Japanese forces were ready and won the Russo-Japanese War of 1905. During WWII, the country took advantage to annex Korea and Manchuria, becoming a colonial power as well.

2. Korea

Rather than fall under European control, Korea was ruled by Asian powers. It was a tributary state of Qing China until 1895, when the Japanese government gained control after winning the First Sino-Japanese War. It became a formal Japanese colony in 1910, avoiding European colonization.
