  1. The charge for SE Asian independence was the Japanese putting natives in charge of lands they conquered from imperials

  2.  @aleembaksh1880  it is over simplified, there were plenty of axis victories dependent on power, not speed You can’t call Dubno fucking speed, or the landings in northern Malaya, or the operation Ichigo

  3. Britain: “we have 80,000 men, you have 26,000, go away” Japan: “I missed the part where I asked”

  7.  @ennui9745  is that why all the revolts came after the Japanese? Did you miss that part? I mean your unnamed nation (telling) can have a national narrative, that’s fine, doesn’t mean it’s the whole story

  11.  @ennui9745  I don’t have any admiration for imperial Japan, you idiot, let alone ‘slavish’ still waiting for an explanation of that term I think you’re just offended judging by your other comment that I’ve inadvertently upset you by, seemingly, disrespecting your national pride Grow up please

  12. Of course not, the Chinese and Japanese are the main ways to find information for most of it, imperial Japan ceased to exist and the Chinese language is hard, and of course suffers the fate of being under a virulent anti western communist state, meaning there are lots of narratives that must be held, and the archives are sealed toward 99.9999999% of people
