These fucks never stood a chance.
Should have just pulled out of China when the USA asked, maybe grab some Chinese coastal provinces (I'm sure Chiang would be happy to concede them just so he can stop receiving the ass rape and focus on the commies) and try to salvage whatever relations they had with USA.

Every chink alive is one chink alive too many
There is never enough chink blood spilled, I for one look forward to the next time

Shut the fuck up. Don't bad mouth glorious Japan. Its imperial achievements are far beyond the scope of any European "Empire". Britain and France have always invaded empty jungles and deserts like Africa and Australia. Never could they envision a full scale invasion of China. The farthest Britain went was capture a few ports. Japan, on the other hand, was the second nation in all of History to completely wreck China. That itself is a great achievement, a very honorable one while we are at it. Unlike white pig Japan no afraid of battle.

Why invade it when you can just economically dominate it?
Also Japanese had advantage in tanks, artillery, complete air superiority and military training and you still couldn't defeat bunch of ill-trained peasants with 19th century rifles and bamboo sticks

To form the East Asia Co Prosperity Sphere.

Japan only controlled some coastal urban areas.

Japan controlled all of Manchuria, all of the important coastal cities and 1/3 of Core China.

Japan did not control 1/3 of core China or all of Manchuria. It controlled the urban areas.

Did you forget Mongols or Manchus?

China started the war.

>Should have just pulled out of China

Shouldn't have invaded China in the first place.

They already had Manchuria in the bag and had Japan stopped there, they'd still have it (and Korea) today.

Wo, kuai tang min tang! Ho ho! Si fu dai chu, ho ho!

Hitler could also have kept Czechoslovakia and Austria while murdering his "untermench", nobody gave a fuck about genocide back in the day.

Highly doubt it. Self-determination movements were too strong in those parts, and nationalist revolutions would've been funded by the Soviets.

So you invaded someone when they're extremely weak and far behind?? Sugoi!! . Although you still didn't beat them, you wasted over 8 years and still lost, Subarashi!!

Yeah, and Japs nuked themselves twice.

But m-muh face, we can't appear to be weak when it comes to the west.
*proceeds to get effortlessly curbstomped by yanks and become their bitch for rest of eternity*

the point is that they still could have kept the coastal territories under their influence
they fucked it all up by fighting a war on 3 fronts (China, Burma, Pacific)

>>China united

lol

> Self-determination movements were too strong in those parts

Ok sure, Japan wouldn’t still have them today but the point is that the war in China was a huge drain on the Japanese for virtually no return on the investment.

Had Japan stayed put, they would have had the necessary resources and could have strong-armed the Allies into granting “independence” for SE Asia during the war (that is, Japanese political and economic control) then joined the fight against the Nazis (with nominal military forces, providing mostly economic aid, while gaining access to Western tech) and came out of WWII as one of the Good Guys and the saviors of the Asian peoples from the racist White colonizers and gotten a seat on the UN Security Council.

> and nationalist revolutions would've been funded by the Soviets.

The Soviets weren’t able to do anything in Asia until late 1945 and by that point, the Japanese would have Korea and Manchuria (and possibly other Asian territories, like French Indochina and the Dutch East Indies) solidly under control and part of their economic/political/cultural system.
