I don't understand why, all through history there have been people that wanted to "take over the world". And it always ended badly for them. I guess that the Axis Powers didn't study world history much. The Allies gave them a crash course in history repeating itself. Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. It is a shame that between 65 to 80 million people had to die in the process. I believe that China & Russia had more dead soldiers & civilians than the rest of the Allies combined. And the biggest reason the Japanese had such success was that with the Great Depression that military outposts in Asia were not being kept up to par cuz of the lack of funds from the UK & USA. And in 1940 we were just getting over the Depression but military funding hadn't had a chance to start reinforcing the much neglected military outposts in Asia. Which imo is why large troop concentrations of the USA & UK had to surrender to smaller Japanese forces. They just didn't have the appropriate equipment to keep fighting. And weren't fanatical enough to do bonzi charges like the Japanese.
