Question

Like any other country Japan, China, and Korea all resented it. Each on their own level if you will. The Japanese wanted to keep their own culture but at the same time Westernized. They really did put most of their resources into Westernizing. So Japan actually welcomed this Westernization. However, at first the Japanese were against it quite very much so. There is a story or a legend I guess that states that when the Japanese refused to open it's doors to any foreigner, the U.S. sent 4 ships (the four dragons as the Japanese stated) to force Japan to trade.

China on the other hand did the exact opposite. China was already practicing it's beloved age old idea of isolationism. The Chinese had the Boxer Rebellion. The Boxers were a peasant based group that was anti-imperialistic and anti-foreign. The American history books are correct, they did at times kill innocent foreigners but you have to understand that their situation is like that of the middle east. They were forbidden to go to many areas of their own country. They were also forced into the Opium war where the Chinese refused to buy anymore Opium but the British forced it upon the Chinese to buy it. There was also a second opium war in which France also fought along side the British. The Opium war led to the yielding of places such as Hong Kong.

Korea was basically influenced more so by the Japanese. If you ask any Korean, they will gladly tell you of the atrocities committed during the Japanese's stay up until they were defeated in WW2.

Answer 1

@aegidious

Answer 2

The first sentence bothers me....what did they all resent? "It" is not very descriptive..

Answer 3

hold on

Answer 4

see what I mean? ;)

Answer 5

yeah

Answer 6

western colonialism

Answer 7

Replace "it" with "western colonialism" then :) That sounds a lot better

Answer 8

yeah it does

Answer 9

The next sentence is fragmented, the use of "level" is confusing (because level can have different meanings), and the phrase "if you will" is way too informal...I'd go with something like....

"Each of these countries had their own unique reasons for their resentment."

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

okay, I see the issue here.... can it be 5 paragraphs instead? This is perfect for 5 paragraphs. Stretch out the first paragraph into an introductory paragraph and a Japan paragraph. Then add a conclusion paragraph at the end

Answer 12

yeah thats fine just no shorter than 4

Answer 13

Introductions and Conclusions are usually just summarizing what you just said in the body paragraphs so it's really just fluff :) Try adding those and then get back to me ;)

Answer 14

Japan's paragraph can start with the 3rd sentence you have. You can just expand your intro off of your first two sentences

Answer 15
