Like many of the old generals said "The young will feed off the old's success until they fall on the road and not know how to get back up."

Eh, the theory of decisive battle hadn't really been disproven at that point, and the Japanese experience at Tsushima backed it up.

Italy is still worse, Japan stomped across SEA and made a lot of gains in China is a short amount of time before the war grew stagnant. Italy got beaten back by Greeks who were poorly trained and with poor equipment and no one knew they invaded Egypt for a month.

>"AIAIAIAAIAIAIAI ARIBA LET'S GRAB SOME LAND"
>Proceeds to lose land including their entire coastline

None of this is accurate

All of it is very accurate.

Bolivia still maintains an active navy, and every year they have a national holiday where the entirety of the navy marches to the Chilean border and demands their land back, only to get denied and have to march all the way back
It's hilarious and also sad.

>Can you name 1 (one) more pathetic attempt at a war?
Yes, easy

Vietnam War desu

It is though, the only victory (((B*itain))) ever achieved in ww2 was the their heroic defeat and retreat in Dunkirk.

Is there any country more JUST than Bolivia

>a national holiday where the entirety of the navy marches to the Chilean border and demands their land back, only to get denied and have to march all the way back
tell me you're making this up

>lost to Paraguay
>Paraguay was even smaller than it is now when it lost

kek

How the shit do you even manage that? The population, resource and industrial differences alone should have made that war a walk in the park.

Has another nation ever lost a war against a country that much more ridiculously smaller than it?

nice b8

Before Midway, they had some chance, if they could crush the U.S. before relative production capabilities really kicked in (and the U.S. moved its attention to the Pacific). They really just had bad luck, which resulted in multiple carriers being sunk. Or, perhaps, bad training, but either way.

muh north afrika muthfugga

This. At least the Japanese offensive worked for the first six months. No one, literally NO ONE is worse at war than 20th century Italy.

Radar isn't some sort of magical omniscient device m8. Especially not in early WWII, and especially not in the hands of the USN admirals who considered them untrustworthy. Hell it barely even do anything at Guadalcanal.

They sank their carriers because of bad damage control. WWII carriers were incredibly flammable, and Japanese ones even more so because they didn't adopt the USN policy of only rearming refueling their aircraft above deck. The end result was a floating powder keg ready to be ignited.

Bad training and bad luck, but either way Japan was fucked.

> Chaco is too fucking dry for horses
>Paraguayans have five rail lines and the Paraguay river that go into the Chaco and they nationalized every bus in the country

They fucked up long time.

First Congo War.

>Even mentioning radar when the cunts at Pearl saw Jap bombers en route and ignored it as just some B-17s returning home; from the opposite side of the fucking island
A system to be feared for sure

Get fucked kraut

easy one
Russia
India
China

Why do I find it funny that Paraguay doubled in size after the war?

You realize Guadalcanal was as costly for the USA as it was for the Japanese right? They don't call it "Ironbottom Sound" because it's only a mass Japanese grave.

They also like to pretend the Japanese never had radar for some reason. Once again, it's not exactly a "I win" card.

>Put a bunch of transports in a bay with no protection
>Japanese cruisers come in and fuck them up
What a great prank

Do you have a source for that? The wiki numbers show significant American casualties, but much higher Japanese casualties.

Thanks.

>Bow of USS Minneapolis

Ah yes, the Longest Ship in the World

>the front fell of

having civilians nuked is a reason of shame for the defeated? or for those who used it instead?
anyway we are talking about an archipelago who industrialized heavily and extremely fast all by itself

America in Vietnam war is the epitome of war failure

It was a victory but damn, im surprised those Marines held out so long what with being surrounded.
