RIP Abe. It's a shame Kishida is not popular back at home. My dad always complains about him back home but listening to CSIS and other geopolitics I am a fan. We debate this often.
It's good that Abe's now joined both of his war-criminal grandfathers.
@@user-iz3gv5vo6b
Neither of them were ever tried for, or convicted of war crimes. Abe never would have been elected without China’s ceaseless efforts to steal their neighbors territory. I personally thought Abe was a bit of a douche, but China is the sole reason he was in office as long as he was, so that’s who you have to thank for it.
"What's behind Japan's big pivot from pacifism..." Simple, North Korea, China, and, Russia are all right next door. They have the good sense to follow the old adage: "Si vis pacem, para bellum".

Japan is a Good Neighbor,Good Partner. They are an island nation that is Democratic in nature and is 100% reliant on goods imported from Shipping and Air. With a Violent Russia,NK and China just a few hundred miles away it makes sense they are fashioning a Naval force not unlike the Strike Groups The US and NATO employ. The beauty is today's Japan makes some wickedly reliable,safe and deadly accurate Military vessels.
Japan has always been great at super high quality manufacturing
@@giftedtheosQuite amazing actually. Even during WWII when resources were very scarce for Japan, especially late war, the US army research arm had tested bolt-actions from each major nation after the war. The Japanese Arisaka was found to have the strongest bolt receiver out of any nation.
Quite impressive since native Japanese metallurgy is quite low quality, compared to say like a Scandinavian nation.
Japanese planes of the war get flack for being underarmored and lacking self sealing tanks but this was addressed in new designs after 1942. Quite structurally sound aircraft, and beautiful IMO. Japanese ships were always great. Unfortunately they did not have as much natural oil and resources as us and could not keep up war industry demands

M6 grandfather fought the Japanese in WW2. After all this time past, Japan needs to re arm to deter a common threat.
Let them be to protect themselves and assist neighbors
Those bringing up Japanese history hear me out. Tbh, I actually think only reason we villainize Japan is because they lost. Yeah they were unethical for what they’ve done in imperialism but so was US, France, UK, Spain…
And if you think about it, Japan didn’t really start the war with the US either. It was the US that colonized the Mariana Islands, the Philippines etc… surrounding Japan. They attacked these places with out warning them - a surprise attack. Making a big military base in Hawaii - which isn’t theirs originally. They were slowly making its way to Japan slowly, to the West of the Pacific. It’s very clear it’s the US that was expansionist first. So Japan’s reaction is expected and why can’t Japan attack when the US was attacking everywhere else.
In fact, Japan was a completely closed country, a samurai governed country in a traditional system until 1868. Surprisingly, less than hundred years before World War 2 started, Japan was still in Edo Period. And the only reason it ended was the US forcing Japan to open by threatening with them with fire - which showed its intention of colonizing them if they can. (Japan could’ve been the next Philippines or Hawaii).
So yeah what Japan did to other Asian and Pacific cultures and people need to be held accountable. To the US and its position as a global power, I feel like it can be justified and much better than other Western powers.
RIP Shinzo Abe 😔

Germany has been accepted back into the fold after at\ll the atrocities it committed during ww2, why not Japan - like Germany it is not the same country as it was then!

There’s some deep seated political reasons to have an axe to grind against Japan in China. Relations were actually pretty good between the two before the Chinese killed all those folks in Tiananmen Square. After that the Chinese government decided they needed a common outside enemy for their people to hate, and Japan was a convenient scapegoat given past historical atrocities. China also uses past Japanese aggressions to justify their current territory grabs in the Pacific and elsewhere.

And other Asian countries as well like Indonesia 😂, but untill now Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore seems like they prefer to stay neutral
@@lelianarochefort3077 SEA countries want to stay neutral due to us not having strategic weapons in our possession, so we have to resort to neutrality to ensure that we don't get dragged into any large scale conflict, or, y'know, get nuked by Russia or China. Our friendly ties with the US is the only other deterrent we have.
From: Singapore
You’re a few years late, they’ve changed and started building up a few years ago already.
Modern Japan can be trusted as regional military power that can assist American stabilization in the region with a growing aggressive China and North Korea. This can buy time for the American military to reinforce the region due to the vast distance between the mainland and the region of conflict. As for America's Northern and Southern partners are unreliable.
That's not the only issue. At least not for China. The Japanese navy is becoming a truly magnificent force in and of itself. Now suppose a crisis comes around where the aggresive China will suddenly have to face both the US and the Japanese navies working together full force. That would be one very dangerous and well armed enemy to contemplate. Especially since China is not unaware of both countries being high quality, high production, high yield weaponry if the economy will suddenly shift towards a war economy, while China is to a large extend far behind in both production and quality, not to mention that even though they have electronic knowledge far surpassing Russia, they are still not quite up to par with either Japan or the US, meaning that they can produce guided weapons, but they would still be a generation, most likely 2 generations behind.
Not much in terms of years and ideas, but a significant disadvantage in a war. They can employ defensive countermeasures through guerilla tactics to a degree most unpleasant to Japan and the US, but this also means that they cannot have the strategic initiative at the same time. And that would leave only nukes to regain initiative. A choice that even China has to recognize as a less than desirable choice because they are fully aware that the US can redirect their nukes to be targeted on China within minutes (Don't tell me that the US are not already in possesion of a full target resolution plan for both infrastructure and military hubs in case of a nuke threat). And Chinese are not dumb. They are fully aware that even if they manage to hit some missiles before reaching their target, the cost to China would still be so humongous that it could ultimately cost them the victory. Not a total defeat and occupation, but an attrition that they would never be able to break free from.
So meating a naval threat like the US and Japan put together, and aided by other nations even if less impressive might just be the challenge they don't need.
@@Jens-Viper-Nobel Thinking China is behind in production and quality is hilarious. China is a manufacturing superpower. No one comes close to them. In a wartime economy, I cannot imagine the amount of things and with speed they'd be pumping up. Russia is currently outproducing the US and European countries in artillery shell production and they have nowhere near the industrial capacity of China. Saying they're not "up to par with Japan" is hilarious. China doesn't think about them at all. And stop with this stupid nuke fantasizing talk. China has a no-first-use strike policy. So if they end up using them, it'll be because someone nuked them first.
China's aggressive behavior has made it necessary for a nation's like Japan and the Philippines to rearm themselves considerably. I would definitely put Australia in that group also. More of us strengthening of their military than a rearming.

I think time has put what happened 70 years ago into greater context... and horrific 'domestic so-called cleansing' that regimes such as Stalin's USSR and Mao's CCP have inflicted upon the people within their area of control have had an impact as well. The focus that some of these nations put on Japan's atrocities often deflect their citizens from the ones that they themselves perpetrated. In reality... both are horrific.
I would say credit for "civilizing" Japan doesn't so-much go to the conquerors, as much as it does to the will of the Japanese people themselves. A beaten nation can choose NOT to change, after all. Certainly, the Japan of today feels like a completely different nation than Imperial Japan... but I suppose that's true of many nations. Rwanda comes to mind as well. They've the horrific genocide between the Hutu and Tutsis behind them and are a completely different nation as well.
@@TheNewGreenIsBlue Certainly Japan has developed, but only due to having peace and democracy forced on them by defeat and occupation, it wasn’t going to happen otherwise.

Amazing Japan ❤
I think Japan should get the VARS system for their V-22s. This will allow their Helicopter Destroyers to provide significant assistance in a natural disaster, allow them to supply their fleet from longer distances & allow their F-35Bs to have an extended range without using land based refueling aircraft. The Pacific is unbelievably large, having the extended range would make their fleet much more versatile.
On a side note:
The US army is developing & testing a nuclear power plant that is a series of 20' shipping containers. They are connected together & produce 1 - 5 MWh of power. I've been told you can make synthetic liquid fuels (like JP-5) with just air, sea water & electricity) I don't know if they would ever use it, but having a self-filling fuel tanker would be quite useful, both in the military & in providing aid during natural disasters.
The new technology that has been created in the East has made Navies obsolete. With China and Russia's GPS systems, the US can no longer hide our assets and with China and Russia's hypersonic technology, ships will be blown out of the water in the middle of the ocean. This is a new world order, and it doesn't include the US and the west as the master race any longer.
china will spend 600 billion on military, but only 30 million will actually be used for military
No, that's the USA. China has a larger and more powerful military than the USA and blows poor old Japan right out of the equation.
Just to put things in perspective, Japan owned 18 aircraft carriers way back in WW2, and China only built its first carrier with highly questionable viability- the Fujian in 2022.
This is the difference between a sea power and a land power country

Japanese invasion, especially the annexation in 1910, wasn't all that bad for Korea. In fact, whereas a colony is just about exploitation, as Britain and France did, what Japan did for South Korea was to develop infrastructure, build schools, and open railways. , the abolition of slavery, and the rise of literacy. It goes without saying that the foundations of modern Korea were created through Japan's implementation of these modern reforms.
Korea and Taiwan have some infrastructure and education left. The British and the French empire in Africa was the worst one, they've developed very little. The french even destroyed some infrastructure before they left. They are focused on siphoning natural resources. The Spanish and the Americans are better in comparison they have left schools, railways and other infrastructure that are still being use today in the Philippines. The Baguio city for example where developed by the Americans and Vigan city was built by the Spanish both are popular tourist spot. there are more but some where destroyed because of WW2 never got rebuilt.
Then there is no problem in letting Russia go to Ukraine to develop infrastructure.
@@jeffng1712 Russia will not develop Ukraine's infrastructure to that extent. And it won't be a colony.
@@jeffng1712 Russian interest in Ukraine is in destroying the national and cultural identity of Ukraine.
@@KSmifune Japan did pretty horrific things leading up to and during WWII to Korea, China, and elsewhere in East Asia. Trying to whitewash or legitimize their actions isn't helpful. On the other hand, the current Japan is very different than the Japan of 80 years ago, as is the status of Korea and China, and you can't just look at hundred-year-old political situations to determine the way to move forward. Post WWII, Japan has mellowed significantly, and established some reliability in their desire to avoid conflict, while China went from a dominated country without much external influence to a fairly belligerent country seeking to dominate it's neighbors. It's perfectly reasonable to support the current Japanese government without trying to deny or whitewash the terrible things the Japanese did in WWII.
I love Japan❤
As hinted, Hideyoshi's main motivation for invading Korea was to employ Japanese soldiers which might otherwise have been used against him. The ambitions of invading China were never real. Japan did gain valuable technology from the invasion.

I am surprised to learn the favorable rating for Japan in Taiwan isn't overwhelming. Though China put Taiwan on its map in the 17th century, China had NO desire to cultivate Taiwan. The conquest of Taiwan was only aimed at eliminating its enemy who fled to Taiwan following a civil war. Essentially China ignored Taiwan for 200+ years when Taiwan was part of China on paper. In fact, China placed a travel ban to discourage its people from migrating to Taiwan! This is why though Taiwan and Korea were both Japanese colonies during the 1st half of the 20th century, the Koreans still today hold a strong animosity toward Japan because the Koreans didn't exist under the Korean kingdom in name only. When China ceded Taiwan to Japan in 1895 as a permanent Japanese sovereign, the Taiwanese learned to read and write for the 1st time in history during this colonization. Taiwan went from a godforsaken fringe territory under Chinese rule to a model colony under the Japanese empire and became the 2nd strongest economy in Asia by the end of WWII, only behind the Japanese homeland. As a result, many Taiwanese held a nostalgic sentiment toward Japan long after the latter was expelled by the Nationalist Chinese who came to occupy Taiwan at the end of WWII. The word, occupy, is so chosen because NO ONE ever signed a treaty to transfer Taiwan back to China! If I have to guess, I assume the unfavorable rating is given by the Nationalist Chinese on Taiwan. Unlike the Taiwanese, ie. people who have been in Taiwan for centuries and are the beneficiaries of the Japanese expansion, the Nationalist Chinese are the victims of this endeavor since they were still on the mainland during WWII.
true, Taiwan is the one of many pro-Japanese Asian countries and the highest pro-Japanese in Asia like Thailand Kingdom
i think this channel is just taking from edited left-wing website, Wikipedia afterall
also i adding information about KMT in Taiwan, the fact that not only that KMT occupy Taiwan,
- KMT also did bring hyperinflation (because KMT want exploit Taiwanese for buying US guns) that causing February 28 incident
- KMT imposed harsh political suppression by accusing 100 thousand Taiwanese (and Japanese in Taiwan) as leftists or pro-communist, the fact that almost all of them is just pro-Japanese and members of indigenous autonomous movement
- and KMT starting "White Terror" that killed =/- 4 thousand Taiwanese and Taiwan Japanese
- banning to speaking and learning Taiwanese and Japanese language in Taiwan schools, forcing all Taiwanese students to speaking Chinese and being fanatic cults to KMT (ironic that KMT is enemy of CCP but going same like how CCP did in China schools)
- etc
that why many older Taiwanese and younger Taiwanese is being pro-Japanese especially for many older Taiwanese who living in modernization and Golden Age of Japanese Empire like Lee Teng-hui
Lee Teng-hui is giga chad, he anyway speaking the truth that anyway piss off both Communist China and KMT alot,
how you know that Lee Teng-hui speaking the truth? i mean if you speak something that making CCP and KMT get mad on you, that mean you speaking the truth. that why many Taiwanese love Lee Teng-hui

NATO vs USSR/Soviet Union (who would win in a war without nukes involved)
NATO would win within about 6 months. That's how long it would take NATO to fully exhaust Russian equipment that means on land sea and air but it would come at a cost to NATO. It won't be easy. It won't be like going into Afghanistan or Iraq. Russia has an air Force and missile defense and they can produce munitions faster than NATO but NATO would take out their capability to make these munitions causing Russia to pull munitions from its already exhausted reserves thanks to Ukraine. NATO would also disrupt Russia logistically by gaining air superiority and denying Russia the ability to send equipment by air or rail. Although Russia has air defense America and NATO have ways to trick and fool their air defense systems. NATO wouldn't want to conquer Russia though we just want to dismantle it's corrupt dictatorship of a government because it's just too much of a thorn in the side to NATO. Not Russia itself but the government of Russia.

The European countries really fumbled the ball. Both Japan and S.Korea recognized America being overstretched and was uncertain of our leadership due to internal turmoil and leverage it to level up the military and take on a more active role. Germany should have also used this opportunity to assert itself militarily in the region too, but I get it, they were already propping up the EU's economy, they didn't want the regional military leadership role too. Poland complains other EU countries aren't pulling their weight and France will be France.

Those bringing up Japanese history hear me out. Tbh, I actually think only reason we villainize Japan is because they lost. Yeah they were unethical for what they’ve done in imperialism but so was US, France, UK, Spain…
And if you think about it, Japan didn’t really start the war with the US either. It was the US that colonized the Mariana Islands, the Philippines etc… surrounding Japan. They attacked these places with out warning them - a surprise attack. Making a big military base in Hawaii - which isn’t theirs originally. They were slowly making its way to Japan slowly, to the West of the Pacific. It’s very clear it’s the US that was expansionist first. So Japan’s reaction is expected and why can’t Japan attack when the US was attacking everywhere else.
In fact, Japan was a completely closed country, a samurai governed country in a traditional system until 1868. Surprisingly, less than hundred years before World War 2 started, Japan was still in Edo Period. And the only reason it ended was the US forcing Japan to open by threatening with them with fire - which showed its intention of colonizing them if they can. (Japan could’ve been the next Philippines or Hawaii).
So yeah what Japan did to other Asian and Pacific cultures and people need to be held accountable. To the US and its position as a global power, I feel like it can be justified and much better than other Western powers.
I'm glad they're rearming they will be a big military ally to the USA and regional nations in the future
I think it’s about equal to what’s happening in response to Russian aggression in Europe it’s really understandable that they want to be able to defend against a dictator who thinks the sea and other countries are his to take if and when it pleases them to do so…….. I’m my opinion these so-called dictators need to think what’s happening all across the world. Even previous neutral countries are joining in defense if this escalates further we could end up, not in a new Cold War but in a new world war!
You mean US aggression. The war in the ukraine is a US proxy war to reestablish dominance over the East. Why should Russia allow that? Read up on the Cuban missile crisis and you will understand the reason Russia had to go to war. This is a national security issue for Russia. The US is the one at fault and the clowns in DC are destroying our economy.
With Australia and many European powers spending so little on their own military, its Japan, and Korea who will take the lead and are trusted partners to lead in the West
Personally I think more credit should be given to Australia, they are more involved in understanding the rise of threat they are facing and have been more cooperative. Meantime I'm excited we get to help many of these Asian countries from South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan, very proud that both the Philippines and the Japanese are stepping up to the task. That said I worry about South Koreans, unlike the Philippines who have embraced Japan in this new role, we might need to find a way for the Koreans to trust Japan. In the meantime I'm interested in how put relationship with India will form, they have a ways to go but I'm putting my bet that if the country can strengthen itself, it has a good future being more involved as a possible superpower. It would be nice having another superpower to help relieve the stress from the US, the Indian government seemed to have wanted to be a more peacemaker but China has pushed them too far it seems.
Mixed with Europe, there are a good handful who are trustworthy, but there are too many that are making us question our involvement with NATO. To many have soured our trust, rather work with the Quad alliance than NATO where we get crucified asking why we have to carry the majority of the load all the time. Too many Europeans have demonstrated they don't care or like us, so why send our troops to die in a foreign country that doesn't like them?
wrong , Australia spends a higher percentage of its money on defense than European and Asian Countries spend only Russia and China outspend Australia in the East/southern parts of the world it has under 30m people it spends a lot for its population size.
@@basillah7650 True, but because I lift more weight than my younger sister doesn't mean I am strong.
Japan has no choice. Simple!
Can you vloggers please call it "West Philippine Sea"? The Philippines already won UNCLOS and please show some support. Thank you
Only problem is that japans economy is on the edge of a huge downturn.
Slava SAMURAIs🦾
thanks to wuhan virus
I expect it is to little and to late but better late than never, I guess.
Japan 🇯🇵 has the quality to overwhelm quantity of china and technology wise japan is still a way ahead of china and china already lost 2 wars with japan so china don’t have the spine to go to war with japan.
Infact Deng ideal role model is japan and china is a cheap copy of japan which could not match its quality
I like how japan totally forget about what usa did to it in ww2 and let usa set 125+ military base in its land.
In the 21st Century as of today I had no doubt that China would be ready for Japan !!!
If China is so weak why Americans are so fearful. Just like the Korean war this USA never had the stomach to fight but bribe all her vassal states to join in call allies. Cowardice n fearful of paying a price call death.
Taiwan and South Korea actually appreciated what Japan did economically during its colonial era. European colonialism was about sucking raw materials from the colonies but the Japanese idea was to actually turn its colonies into a miniature version of Japan. There are still lots of Japanese influence left behind in those places and it’s also why Taiwan and South Korea redeveloped quickly postwar because Japan had already laid the foundation work during its colonial era.
Stop lying , you are not Taiwanese or korean
If Japan's military power could terrify China, then the United States should also be worried. Don't forget who attacked Pearl Harbor and who dropped the atomic bomb.
i think Japan has proven that they like peace, and should be able to have their own standing army, and should have the right to defend themselvs and their allies. i allso think that we should help them if anyone attacks them too, not like in Ukraine, but i mean full scale support with troops, naval and air power. Japan is to valuble as a friend to let anyone take them from us. pretty much everyone wants to be thinr friend and we should spend more time nurturing our friendship with them.
Do you know many Japanese dislikes US because humiliating and still occupying Japan. Many Japanese think they are Colony of the US.
I read all those comments but none of them really understand about Japan.
Very stereotypical and old images from WW2.
@@NightnDay402 ---Considering the history of entirely too many Americans stationed in Japan, I don't blame them for wanting our bases gone. I don't see why any Japanese citizen would consider themselves to be a colony of the U.S. though, and think the idea is ludicrous. If most of the Japanese people wanted us gone, then we would be gone. We don't need bases there to be their ally, but we're better allies with the bases, as they are very convenient for reaching East Asia in defense of Japan.
@@NightnDay402 you forget how the US helped them rebuild their country after the war. and that they even promised to defend the country in the event of any attacks so they could focus their efforts to rebuild as well. i am not naive about the past, and Japan were no saints either during the war or the past leading up to the war. but post war they had a pretty intense turn-around in ideology and way of doing things. and the americans aren't occupying their country, they have signed defence treaties wich had them make army bases in certain areas in order to defend japan as well as keep an eye on Russia and China, so it was for mutual benefits.
China has proven that they are war maniacs by having no war for past 40 years. It's hardly to believe that China goes to a war with Japan
Don’t forget the cultural impact on the US that would happen if we didn’t help Japan. They are key Allie’s and must be supported 100%
Woohooo!! Everyone knows Japan has Chinas Number!!!!😂😂😂
You know their is a giant Mecha involved some how 🤗
Japan is such a self aware, intelligent, and beautiful country. They went from an imperialist nation to one of the most peaceful and biggest defenders of the free world. 🇯🇵 🤍❤️
Thank you for letting the world know that Japan is threating China.
unbeatable army Japan
Except they have lost multiple wars throughout their history? (Like all countries tbf)
Japan can ,literally overnight, turn into a huge Nuclear/Missile power. Its Navy is eons ahead of the rubbish PLA navy. Yes--the Chinese are right to be terrified of Japan on the rise. We in India love this new attitude in Japan.
China gangsta until Japan's Gundams flies over its skies
Where's the fuel coming from to fill their war machine...
us or now they have a dedicated synthetic refinery source and now have at least some oil to tap in to.
@@TheManofthecross Yup, Japan still has _plenty_ of coal, which can processed into diesel and gasoline.
Strong South Korea and Japan is a reliable Allie the UNited States needs in the region to counter China. India stepping up and Austrlia as another strong allie. Philippines hopefully another allie to build up. Make China think twice.
War is all about $$$ and it always has been. Imperial Japan wasn't all about the money (on the cultural level) but after having been "reinvented" by the USA after WW2 it is moreso now will be. This is what makes me unsure of Japanese fighting abilities regarding, moral and unit cohesiveness being anywhere near what they were in the 2nd World War. Japan at the time of WW2 had about 200 western modeled division sized units of about 17-18k men each based on a population of around 100 million people. The IJA also had six armoured divisions and various parachute units. The IJN, and lets face it, had many ground based units usually of regiment to brigade sized, engineers, artillery, flak, etc etc.. Then there were support units of and for both branches of various sizes also. Anyway, that was 80 years ago and what we really learned from Japan in WW2 is just how big a military Japan can form if they really have to expand to their maximum strength. Organizationally, what they retained from their Army of the pre-war era and what's new and/or American modeled needs some serious investigation. Which I haven't done yet. As far as the lessons learned from the war time IJN, fighting the USA and the UK just about all of the time, with a few skirmishes thrown in early in 1942 with the Dutch Navy, they are likely be far more interesting, lasting and useful. As Japanese rearmament proceeds, (they already have a BIG, though non-nuclear Navy) just how and what they prioritze going forward for both offensive and defensive operations with their Allies, that being the USA, Taiwan and just what kind weaponary they'll be needing for those operations. Also, if Japan wanted to build a partilly nuclear powered NAVY they can do it pretty easily. I'm sure they have the blueprints, ship designs and everything they need to do it with. "Friends" of the USA in East Asia are going to, whether they like it or not, be needing Japanese military assistance against China and/or (in every conceivable war scenario. Is Japan going to be able to maintain it's very fearsome military reputation well earned in the 20th Century moving into the 21st Century? That is the GIANT question to friend and foe alike when and/or if East Asia becomes a major warzone yet again. This is the question that our finest military mind, Secretary of Defense, (formerly known as "the War Department") retired Full General (4-Star General) and former Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff of the most powerful military in World History! Things are moving very fast nowadays and we, the American people have to have the answers to these extremely important questions from our top soldier if only for reassurance if for nothing else.
Thanks!
Japan has been “pacifist, but with self defence capabilities” since 1946. Allowing Japan to re-arm on a large modern scale will create a combined military with state of the art everything. Not to forget that Bushido is still there, just waiting to re-emerge. Terrifying.
But it all changes when you have major nuclear powers like China and North Korea in the region.
The population is collapsing. The way things are going there will only be hello kitty robots left to man the Japanese military.
@@tokukeitaro it only takes one
What Japan did to China during WW2. I would be scared too.
China is too powerful to ever let that happen again. China has the largest military in the world and is more modern than the US military.
About time!
Residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are sweating profusely.
Why? Hahaha It’s Beijing that is sweating profusely?
The Philippines welcome Japan's military involvement in the region.
Those bringing up Japanese history hear me out. Tbh, I actually think only reason we villainize Japan is because they lost. Yeah they were unethical for what they’ve done in imperialism but so was US, France, UK, Spain…
And if you think about it, Japan didn’t really start the war with the US either. It was the US that colonized the Mariana Islands, the Philippines etc… surrounding Japan. Making a big military base in Hawaii. They were slowly making its way to Japan slowly, to the West of the Pacific. It’s very clear it’s the US that was expansionist first.
In fact, Japan was a completely closed country, a samurai governed country in a traditional system until 1868. Surprisingly, less than hundred years before World War 2 started, Japan was still in Edo Period. And the only reason it ended was the US forcing Japan to open by threatening with them with fire - which showed its intention of colonizing them if they can. (Japan could’ve been the next Philippines or Hawaii).
