Seriously, i was discussing the current situation with Senkaku, i do hope to get back onto subject matter now.

It was a historical discourse i had with @IsaacNewton , @OCguy et al, before you started chiming in an attempt to court my reaction, response.

First of all, that will never happen because we won't start a war, we will merely uphold our territory. Second, your country does not have a first strike capability, and if it violates this , the United States and all other nuclear powers will reign destruction on China that would render the...

Correct. If it was not for the United States, China more or less would have remained part of the Japanese Empire.

I love how you say "our american friends" considering, if your flag means anything at all, you live in the United States...o_O

Les they threaten to use their 'Mega Ton Thermo Nuclear Nukes' ad nauseum...:omghaha::omghaha: :rofl:

Not all of France was conquered by Germany, effectively half was occupied by Germany, the other was controlled by Vichy France.

The British were adept masters of colonial building. That , and we started our empire when the age of imperialism was practically ending. On the British tho, i wouldn't credit their military forces that much; it was more so their strategic visage that allowed them to take advantage of the fact...

Overwhelming majority of their population was in the Eastern seaboard.

Japan wouldn't have to march all the way to Siberia, the forces of Zhukov were stationed in the East , close to the border of Mongolia. A coordinated land and aerial force of the 13th, 15th, and 16th Armies of the Imperial Army could have knocked Zhukov and his forces out of the war. This would...

Interesting isn't it? Since the overwhelming bulk of the Chinese population at that time was in the coastal areas. There were nothing but ethnic tribes and outposts in the interior at that time. I must say tho, Japan did pretty well considering we were at war with the Chinese, Philippines...

Your historical comprehension is very poor. Qing Fleet was amassed , it was the incapability of its officers to engage in proper naval battle. Japanese Navy eviscerated the Qing Fleet, which literally tuck tail and ran. We merely sank the retreating ships... :lol::lol:

Stopped Japan? Are you kidding me? You can't stop something that didn't foray into the interior. What was left in our possessions in China were Korean conscripts and new trainees; the bulk of the Imperial Japanese Army, Imperial Japanese Naval Force and Naval Marines as well as Imperial Air...

A lot of historians also argue that had Japan not honored the 1941 Neutrality Pact, and engaged the Zhukov's forces when Germany initiated Operation Barbarossa, then Russia might have been neutralized. But that's all theoretic. ;)

Ah yes, if i recollect my South East Asian history classes in the past, I do remember the many failed attempts of the Qianlong Emperor of China to destroy King Hyabyushin of Burma's Konbaung Dynasty. If i remember it correctly, the goal was to remove the Burmese from Siam, which was historically...

We defeated China in 2 wars and Russia in the Russo-Japanese War; both nations (Russia and China) had more resources and a greater population than the Japanese Empire. The size of a nation does not dictate the results of its victory. Look at how Greece conquered the Persian Empire, how Israel...

No, it was due to the Japanese Empire - Soviet Union Neutrality Non-Aggression Pact signed in 1941.

the Russians attacked when days before declaration of peace was signed. And they violated the Non-Aggression Pact we signed, so we were unprepared for it. Why didn't Russia attack years prior when the Japanese Empire was in its height?

Yes you did. And Japanese view the Americans highly and nobly for this. As per the Code of Bushido that values the victor. It was the United States Military , alone, that broke the Japanese Empire. And no one else.

All of the former Axis Powers , to this day, have to host American bases. Germany, Japan and Italy (which is home to the United States 6th Fleet). So, we , in good faith, followed through with the Peace process. The Americans would say we were a 'noble yet ferocious enemy'. Objectively, it was...
