the history of e and se asia during the middle of the 20th century is so depressing
#whites dont interact#like war after war after war#also a heavy dose of war profiteering#like following the devestation of the 2 atom bombs and us military occupation japan provided a ton of aid to the us during the korean war#like all the harbors and air strips japan had built to colonize e and se asia before and during ww2#were used by the US to bomb every major city into n korea into rubble#and this provied a huge influx of cash into the japanese economy and got japans war reparations waived#and s korea (which was absolutely devestated by japanese colonialism and the insanely bloody korean war) followed japans example#and sent a bunch of troops and military aid to the US during the vietnam war#like in both cases supporting us imperialism in other asian nations was what allowed japan and korea to jump start their ecconomies#like i fucking hate how colonial collaboration is like the fastest way to acquire wealth#capitalism and imperialism r twin scourges upon the earth
