Both, Great Britain and Japan, are island nations, consisted of multiple islands. They developed in a unique way because of this, and it is very easily to distinct the culture, and way of functioning of the countries when compared with the others, even with the neighboring countries.

Since, both of them do not have enough resources for their own needs, they are mainly countries that import raw goods, but played very smart and started to focus on industrialization and technology, so they import raw goods, manufacture them, and than sell them for much bigger amount, thus making their economies very strong.

Explanation:

If you look at Britain, youll see that they conquered the largest empire known to mankind. This is because, in order to get out of the simultaneously amazing and garbage geopolitical position, they had to create a massive navy, and they had a massive naval culture, which they also inherited from the Viking and Anglo-Saxon settlers/raiders. You should also discuss the effect the Norman conquest had on England, especially since the Normans are the descendants of Viking raiders, given land by the King of France. As for Japan, they dealt with their geographic strengths and weaknesses in a very different way. While England dealt with it globalistically the Japanese went in the opposite direction, isolationism (make sure to bring that up in your essay) By locking themselves away from outsiders, they're strengths are expanded, but their weaknesses are exacerbated. Japan has never been conquered by a foreign power. Mr or Mrs teacher, if this bit is in his essay, it is plagiarized. Even the greatest military of the age, the Mongols, couldn't do it, and even the United States couldn't truly conquer it. The Japan we see today, and the emperor we see today, are fundamentally the same as the Japan from over 2 millennia ago. Their isolationism allowed them to create an incredibly rich, vibrant and unique military culture, which we still see parts of in present day Japanese culture. When they did finally come out of their isolationism, they were able to industrialise in a mere few decades (the Meiji Restoration) to the same extent that it took Britain, France, Germany and the US a century to accomplish, and what Russia hadn't even started. Still today they are the frontrunners in science and technology. So while Britain had a greater influence on the world as a whole with their globalistic approach, the Japanese were arguably more impressive, given the geopolitical hand they drew.
