Wilson rejected Japan's claim to German concessions in Shantung, home of Confucius, which Japan had captured at a price in blood. Tokyo threatened a walkout if denied what she had been promised by the British. "They are not bluffing," warned Wilson, as he capitulated. "We gave them what they should not have."
In 1921, at the Washington Naval Conference, the United States pressured the British to end their 20-year alliance with Japan. By appeasing the Americans, the British enraged and alienated a proud nation that had been a loyal friend.
Japan was now isolated, with Stalin's brooding empire to the north, a rising China to the east and, to the south, Western imperial powers that detested and distrusted her.
When civil war broke out in China, Japan in 1931 occupied Manchuria as a buffer state. This was the way the Europeans had collected their empires. Yet, the West was "shocked, shocked" that Japan would embark upon a course of "aggression." Said one Japanese diplomat, "Just when we learn how to play poker, they change the game to bridge."
@911chopsticks chopsticks, heres some history for you. We kicked Japans ass after that "proud nation" attacked an American Naval base at Pearl Harbor. We WON! get over it. and yea poker got old, so dont get pissed when we changed the "game" to Bridge.
To understand why Japan attacked the americans, we must go back to World War I. Japan had been our ally. But when she tried to collect her share of the booty at Versailles, she ran into an obdurate Woodrow Wilson...
2. you're not American since u dont know english =)
3. u know u suck and that wasnt when you dropped Rofllll "BOMB" on us , the film is about a true story who were about few years when u "dropped the bomb" and By The Way "maybe a heros but no winners in a war" so u realy an immature ignorant ...
your "heros" killed many for no reson just to bring us in to war caue we were helping the UK and all over there cause of you shelfish noobs can stay in Japan so stay and get the F*$#! away form america and im a True American
Ignore BlimpKing were no better then you are and sorry for him that he thinks that way. And i am sorry to hear about your uncle that he died (atleast he fought his country which is good), I had a uncle who fought over in Germany.
Great job the words fit the video perfectly and thank you for making this video my uncle 2 of my friends are serving and i will serve in a year so thank you
