Historians may use geographic determinism, political and social determinism, and economic determinism in order to explain the contrasting destinies of China and japan from 1900 to 1929. ...
Through geographic determinism, the different land mass and structure of China and Japan can be identified as of Japan being a small island and China a very large mass of land and be linked to the different ways of life. Japan, being a small island, didn’t have very many natural resources and very few arable land which they could use to create crops to grow food. ... Natural disasters of Japan did not include major problems of rivers flooding, but suffered from powerful typhoons and Earthquakes. ... These factors made Japan and China consider different aspects for living and led to different destinies.
