  1. A. China


  2. japan. see excellent post above.

    however, the chinese didnt do badly either; they really didnt want or need anything from us, we had to resort to peddling opium to get trade goods out of them.

  3. Have to go with D.  China was not too happy about it either.

  4. Japan was never colonized so I say Japan

  5. Japan, absolutely - She was not only not colonized, but at the high point of European imperialism, was the only Asian country to DEFEAT a European one in a war.  (Japanese-Russian war, 1905)

  6. Depends on what you mean by "resisting". If you mean not being turned into a puppet state by colonial powers, then, yes, Japan would be the one. Japan was (and is) very ethnocentric and limited access to the countryside. Portuguese and Jesuit priests were allowed in for several decades, and later the Dutch and the English arrived, but eventually Japan closed itself off in 1635, entering a period of extreme isolation. This ended in 1854, when Commodore Matthew C. Perry literally opened the country with gunboat diplomacy.

    There is another example of "resistance" to outside pressure, however. Certain parts of New Guinea were so inhospitable and geographically remote that they remained almost in a prehistoric state of existence clear up to World War II.

  7. Japan.

    It was Japan because until the the nineteen thirties there weren't so many buildings with European architecture.

  8. D

  9. d.
