I was watching some lawtuber earlier, they claimed nick was sperging out in a huge lawtuber group chat and making a lot of claims, but the guy refused to leak them himself
so we might get some good leaks later
vassalize is the word you're looking for I think
colonization would be if they were an undeveloped nation
well, vasselize implies they become a client state
and are semi-autonomous
there are a bunch of obscure words that *technically* mean that
that I've never heard used
like suzerainization
I feel like there is a word Max, that I just can't think of
denazification in Germany
idk, it's not an uncommon thing historically, weird that whatever the word is eludes us
acculturation is similar but different
according to wiki
for Japan is was limited though
it really was, you will adopt a Western model of governance, but keep your primary culture
I'm giving @Rusp the win on this one
for whatever reason
imperialism and cultural imperialism are different
I still feel like there's another word too
for supplanting various foreign institutions by force
^ We made them a client state
On the day the occupation of Japan was over, the Asahi Shimbun published a very critical essay on the occupation, calling it "almost akin to colonialism" and claiming it turned the Japanese population "irresponsible, obsequious and listless... unable to perceive issues in a forthright manner, which led to distorted perspectives".
yeah, it just feels like we're missing a cool sounding verb
Max, up to you to make one
I feel like it would be accurate to say Japan "Westernized" in the 1880s-1890s as well though
The whole Meiji modernization era
