The Japanese were trying to establish a Modern Empire -- that had never been done by Asians. White Euros/Americans responded with a kind of a odd respect for the idea. A big Japanese power to colonize and represent all the Asian Countries.

So they were a little bit more a wider spread and sophisticated then your run of the mill rape and plunder operation. They are in the big boys club with US/Russia/France/UK etc. The Japanese were some of the worst colonists to these smaller Asian countries.

I guess all that warrior training on their Island for thousands of years paid off.

Edit: We teach about how we killed all the Indians after Thanksgiving etc...we don't act like the old chief is telling out children wild tales in 2017. But we were more fucked up in the immediate aftermath of killing Native Americans. The point is: Japan is still pretty silent on how it provoked aggression in WW2 unless you in college politics or something.
