What conquering nation of humans doesn't do this during and after wars?

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.

Humans are always gonna kill each other, no matter the century. We’re animals after all.

Basically Poke is pointing out -- the reason Europe pulled ahead had to do with them getting start with Horses, Sheep, Chicken, Pigs.

Americas didn't get Jack except Llamas in the south Americas. Everything else was too hard to domesticate. Only Llamas didn't quite cut it though.

So not only did we have bacon and eggs -- we got a dose of the plague when those in the Americas did not. European explorers basically killed a huge portion of the Native population long before England started to colonize the eastern shores of North America.

So maybe we couldn't have done that so easy if it weren't for huge sweeps of plague. But I think North America might have been fucked anyway personally...too much factionalism. It would look like Southeast Asia at best.
