Maybe it’s just because I’m black, but I don’t understand why the Japanese attacked Australia in World War Two. I’m not a bad person so I wouldn’t have an empire, but if I was in charge of expanding an empire and I was tasked with finding some new land to settle, I’m not landing a boat in Australia. I’m just not. The nature is too scary, the mammals lay eggs, the spiders are too big, I can’t do Australia. Send me to conquer Siberia and I will make peace with the reindeer. That’s what I’m cut out for. Send me to invade Russia in winter. No tarantulas. If I get too cold, I don’t drink, but if I need vodka to stay alive, I’ll become a heavy drinker. I’ll spray paint T-34 on a polar bear. I don’t care what I have to do, just don’t send me to Australia that’s the last place I want to go. Send me to conquer North Korea. That’s fine. I can’t do the spiders man. I can’t do it!

Japan used the dumb navy strategy and failed. It didn’t have the fuel or logistics to hold or manage a far flung archipelago empire. The army strategy wanted to focus on China and seizing Siberia, which would have worked in 1941 when Zhukov brought the entirety of the Soviet army to defeat the Wehrmacht at Moscow. Hitler lost the war in that battle. But Zhukov left the east dangerously exposed.

I’m not an expert on it, but from what I understand it seems like ironically the reason why Japan is wealthy today, Japan wanted an empire, Japan lost their empire, and Japan’s economy is screwed because of the war in Iran is all for the same reason. Japan doesn’t have any oil. So they can’t make money via resource extraction within their own borders, so they have to manufacture high-value products using resources imported to Japan, which is better for their economy, but it also means they’re always in a precarious position where if the imports stop coming they can’t sustain their own society with their own resources, so it’s a double edged sword.

I mean, Japan literally invaded China because they wanted access to oil in Manchuria which sounds ridiculous because China doesn’t even have enough oil to sustain itself but Japan is so resource poor in terms of oil, that was actually worthwhile for them.

Although if Japan did have oil, they’d probably be poorer because they never would have had the same incentive to industrialize because they never would have needed to because they could make money without it.
