Japanese was really stupid. If they stop at manchuria they could have consoladate expand into a real superpower but instead their military wanted to fight and expand to actual china. In the end lost everything and got nuke and stuck on their tiny island. How they even thought they can totally conquer china is just so ridiculouss

WW2 was a war for lebensraum, both for Germany and Japan.
Both were industrializing rapidly and was facing resource problems in terms of what to feed the factories and people.
Manchuria can solve the factory problem, but cannot solve the food problem.


Didnt stop Himmler from trying in 1945.
But also wouldnt have worked if Senior H wasnt assassinated.
IMO, the Lost of WWI and the "we could have won if we held out" attitude was stuck with not just Senior H, but everyone else.

Number 2. kek.
After the atrocities in Singapore, Burma etc. I think no Western powers would agree with that.

This.

Manchuria under Japanese (puppet) rule was still crap, but it's arguably better than the rest of China at the time. The Japanese built railroads, infrastructure and manufacturing & industrial areas the rest of china could only dream of (mostly for export to Japan though).

On the other hand, whenever you hear of Japanese atrocities in china (unit 731 et al), it mostly happened in Manchuria.

Pu Yi no balls.
If got balls, raise army and overthrow Jap, then restore Qing Empire, then earn achievement Hail to the Qing.....

owait

Reallt? Im thought manchuria is a food power even to today. Many agriculture land for wheat (but no rice)

For its size Manchuria was pretty sparsely populated (most of China's population then was in the coastal and central areas). However the region was fertile and in the early years agriculture was pretty huge in Manchuria, with production of grains and soybeans being the principle agriculture product of Manchuria. As in most things produced in Manchuria, this was almost exclusively for export to Japan though.

As Japan's war in China intensified, local farmers were conscripted into factories, worsening the food problem.

Pu Yi was too traumatized by his youth growing up to be any sort of aggressive person.

Solly....
I was under the impression that Manchuria was basically like the Mongol Steppes or Harbin....
either no rain for agriculture or too much snow for agriculture.
Maybe I need to take a vacation there instead of Wuhan next year

Northern part and interior is very cold like Siberia, but the south Liaoning region is very warm and fertile.

How is the condition this nation today?
Follow Singapore step or what?

Still pretty bad though. The economy is very highly reliant on agriculture. Service and manufacturing sector is practically non-existent. The O&G sector is literally half of their GDP.

Regarding their meagre military, the ground forces only consists of 2 battalions of infantry, the naval forces only consisting of several patrol boats and the entire air force is a single Cessna 172 single prop light aircraft. Their defence budget of USD30 million is nearly 3% of their entire GDP already.
