Explanation:

The consequences of sixteenth and seventeenth century imperialism varied. In few cases, the host country was able to keep its own identity while allowing Europeans to establish trading posts within their borders. Others lost their personal identity altogether and were not able to get it back until the twentieth century. In a very few cases, such as Japan, European advances were stopped almost completely. Even after the Americans made inroads to Japan in the nineteenth century, this island nation was able to retain its own identity.

The story of history is filled with examples of interactions between cultures. As you can probably tell, even though many small nations were forced into relationships by larger and more powerful ones, there was always a profound need to be free. This is another historical pattern and a very important one. People everywhere want to be free from outside invaders. Nearly all of the nations who lost rights or land to foreigners eventually gained them back.
