Compare and contrast China under the Ming nad Japan during the Tokugawa Shogunate with regard to Europeans.? -

This is a practice essay for AP World History. I kindof know but not really. So Compare and contrast China under theming Dynasty and Japan duriong the Tokugawa Shogunate wiht regard to their relationships with Europeans. Thanks I will pick a best answer

I don t have time to give you an AP essay but the gist of it is that both were opposed to European influences and closed off their lands to foreigners. The Ming did so because as a rather repressive government, they were suspicious of outside quot;subversivequot; influences. The Tokugawa Shogunate was more concerned with preserving the fragile peace that Japan was trying to establish after wars between those vying for power as Shogun. Also, the Japanese were suspicious of European influence being aware of the wars and problems in Medieval Europe. That s the five cent answer, hope it helps you get started.
