[50 points] what was the main goal of japanese modernization?

to avoid china’s fate by making japan strong
to avoid colonization by colonizing other weaker nations
to end japan’s monarchy and introduce democracy
to stay out of the growing industrial revolution
to exchange ancient traditions for european ones

I believe the answer is: B.to avoid colonization by colonizing other weaker nations

Japanese government realized that modernization contribute greatly to the increase European's wealth.

This create a fear among them that the European would eventually grow far stronger than Japan if they fail to keep up. To avoid this, Japan start its own modernization and started to colonize weaker nation to increase their power.
