@Vincredible__ WW2 in Asia was a Race war.
Asia and Africa were able to become independent because Japan fought against the West.
And the fall of Europe started after WW2 due to loosing all colonies.

@Vincredible__ After Japan was defeated by the US, the Dutch tried to re-colonize Indonesia.
Even after WW2,thousands of Japanese soldiers stayed in Indonesia and fought and died with Indonesians in the Indonesian War of Independence.

@Vincredible__ Even now, every year on Indonesian Independence Day, Indonesian ambassadors and Japanese government officials in Japan celebrate in front of the statue of General Sudirman that Indonesia donated to Japan.
@Vincredible__ And do you know the difference between a colony and an annexation?
Colony is the use of the people of a country or a region as just a labor force.
Annexation means to treat the people of a country or a region as citizens.

@Vincredible__ When Japan won the Russo-Japanese War, Asians, Middle Easterns, Africans, and African America rejoiced.
It was a major turning point in the history of the world.
Because Japan, a country of Colored , had defeated Russia, a White superpower.

@Vincredible__ Soon after that, over 1 million of the 12 million Koreans sent telegrams to Japan asking for annexation.
It was the beginning of the annexation of Korea.
Former JP PM Ito opposed the annexation, but a Korean man assassinated him, which accelerated the move toward annexation.

@Vincredible__ Before Japan annexed Korea, 40 %of Koreans were slaves and 90% of Koreans were illiterate.
Japan gave them all infrastructure, sanitation, education and doubled the population of Koreans, who had an average life expectancy of 26 years.

@Vincredible__ During the Japan era, Korean commoners attended school for the first time.
Had Europe ever provided education to the commoners of Asia and Africa that it colonized?

@Vincredible__ Japan ruled Taiwan for 50 years.
Japan took same policy to Taiwan and Korea.
However, unlike Korea, Japan and Taiwan have always maintained a good relationship.
Have you never thought it's odd?
