First sentence: The colonial expansion of Western nations into Asia beginning in the sixteenth century made it inevitable that China and Japan would eventually be drawn into a relationship with a nation that did not even exist at that time, one that would ultimately be founded as a result of concurrent exploration and penetration into the Western Hemisphere by representatives of some of those same European countries.
