Which is NOT a reason to target Japan as a new market? A. Proximity to China and other Asian markets B. Chance to create a refueling station for ships C. New and wealthy market for trading surplus goods D. Easy to attack and target due to small size

D.Easy To Attack And Target Due To Small Size

Explanation:

Japan was not officially colonized by Western powers but was itself a colonizer. It is an island country and has a strategically important position in the pacific ocean. It is a vital access point to other Asian countries. Western colonial ambitions had always kept an eye for it but never got its full control. Nevertheless, it has undergone formal semi-colonial circumstances, and Western colonialism has deeply affected modern Japan in several respects.

D. Easy to attack and target due to small size

Explanation:

Japan was targeted by many large powers in the West as a new market.

It was seen as a profitable location due to its proximity to other Asian markets that had luxury goods which were desired.

Japan would also be a helpful new market because it could serve as a refueling station for other ships belonging to the Western powers.

However, its small size was not a reason to target Japan. If Japan was too easy to attack, then the Western powers would not want to occupy it.

So, the correct answer is D. Easy to attack and target due to small size
