    In the early 19th century Russian rulers did anything in their power to keep the "French plague" from infiltrating Russia. The "French Plague" was a gradual move towards freedom and a more influential say in government. Russia avoided the "French Plague" by a period of isolation and oppression of their people. Japan also had a long period of isolation. The Japanese believed in the Mandate of Heaven or that there culture was the best. Because of their ethnocentric culture, only one Japanese port, Nagasaki, was open to traders once a year. During the late 19th century, both Russia and Japan were forced to make reforms and modernize by industrialization. They both had to do so rapidly because of Western interference and the West's increasing power in trade. During the early 20th century, Russia and Japan had managed to reform, industrialize, and make sufficient changes to build powerful nations, although they still couldn't compete with the West's supreme military and technological strength. The industrialization process for both Russia and Japan began during the same time period because of this they both shared many similar industrial responses, but also contrasted in many ways. Both Russia and Japan had some common characteristics, which explained how they kept independent from Western interference for such a long period of time. The two nations both new that learning from outsiders could profit them and not necessarily destroy their culture. Industrialization was easy for them because they followed a system of borrow and improve from other countries. Through Japan's Tokugawa shogunate and Russia's tsarist empire, both nations improved their political success. Instead, they used the state to pay for changes that in the West was backed by private businesses. In both Russia and Japan their rulers received more power.

    From 5,000 BCE to 600 BCE, the politics of Mesopotamia shifted from a religiously-led nation, to a secular nation due to the replacement of hunting and gathering for food, with agriculture. In 5,000 BCE, Mesopotamia was settled by the Sumerians, who built the main framework for the Mesopotamian Civilization. Mesopotamia is located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which is what made it an excellent place for growing crops. This change in lifestyle sparked the development of the first modern government system. Temples were located in the center of each city. Temples housed the deities who watched over their citizens. Priests made up the most powerful political force in the City. They tended to the shrine and managed the wealth of the deities, to whom citizens were expected to make contributions. By 4,000 BCE, farming had become the main industry of the Nation. Farmers used plows to turn the Earth. Families formed rural farming communities outside the main city. These villages were expected to grow a surplus for the citizens of larger cities. Since urban dwellers had a surplus of time and food, they devoted their days to other trades, such as metallurgy. In 3,000 BCE, the first kings emerged. The king was called “lugal”, meaning “big man.” Unlike Priesthood, the position of lugal was not necessarily hereditary, however, honorable sons were allowed to succeed their fathers. This was probably the origin of the monarchy. The Palace gradually succeed the Temple as the “central office” of the government, and by the end of 3,000 BCE, the Palace ruled over the Temple, supervising all of their religious practices. Many Kings claimed to be gods on Earth, however the more widely accepted version was that they were a representation of gods on Earth. Kings were responsible for overseeing the Temple, maintaining the city walls and defenses, supervising irrigation channels, and protecting the people. Thus, Mesopotamia became a…
