Can i just say, cuz i saw the tag and it’s bothering me a little (as a lover of history)

Yes Japan allied with germany in world ward II, but they didn’t really do it because they agreed with germany. Like i’m not giving Japan a pass on anything they’ve done (they’re very much a coloniser as well)

But Japan joined germany out of anger a spit not out of shared ideology. Japan was angry they got short shafted after world war I where they fought alongside the allied forced and helped win some major battles, and then when it came to making a peace treaty they got nothing.

They didn’t get any labd like britian, france and the USA.

They didn’t even really get invited to be a part of the peace treaty like other countries on the winning side.

Japan joined Germany more out of frustration than being actual fascists. Like, yes. Their country has gone a really sort of terrible way in terms of government and they did commit a lot of war crimes and murder for the sake of getting rid of people they deemed ‘beneath them’

But had the other allied countries shown them even an ounce of respect after world war I maybe they would have stayed on their side.

#this is not saying ‘oh Japan is actually innocent and good’#cuz it’s not #it’s a colonizing power even today that wants to increase it’s power abd subjegate people #including its own people #the general who won japan singapore from the i #from the allies #was cast out and rejected for the mere ‘crime�� of suggesting that the people of singapore were citizines of japan #like japan has a lot of problems #but no Facism isn’t really something they ever showed support of #hitler was facist and the italian leader was facist #stalin was communist #Japan was a colonizing nation seeking more power #and when it failed to get that power it saught from siding with the allies #all of the countries that fought WWII wanted more land andmpower #that’s why a big part of the epace treaties after WWI and WWII is handing land off to the winners from the losers #Japan joined Germany because they thought they could get more land and actually be treated as an equal party alongside the other’s on their #because the allies failed to treat them as an equal
