The Philippines was not really a warring country, they are peaceful Asians with trade relations with China and others.not ready and wasnt really getting ready for battle when the war broke. no wonder they didnt have enough armaments for war.what they only had were brave Flips. they fought as guerrillas till the liberation day.

Remember that quote that "General MacArthur" said?

"Give me 10,000 Filipino fighters and i will conquer the WORLD!"

@Falamu445 i may say you're right about karl marx if he wasnt born,.. but thats contrary to the history...

[Falamu445]

@devilcruiser So what are you trying to say? All I'm trying to say is that, well, if Karl Marx wasn't born, and if Japan didn't attack...the China of today might be a very different one...

@Falamu445 Karl Marx died before realizing his class conflict ideology spread in russia as well in china, russia before is allied with japan through manufacturing pact with the axis, until the turning point of war were diplomatic disaster between germany and russia broke up

[Falamu445]

@devilcruiser But even Communist ITSELF isn't even a Chinese concept or ideology - the German, Karl Marx, and his followers spread it there through the Soviet Union. Do not get me wrong - I just read about the Tiananmen Square incident a few nights ago, and I myself am sickened at the Chinese Communists. But so many Filipinos seem to fawn over the Japanese these days, and it's a bit too much, you know...I mean, 20 million Chinese died, which was more than the entire Filipino population then...

@Falamu445 i think its not.. whether China invade or not by Japan, still they got support from the Soviets that makes them communists, Soviet at that time taking countries as part of their expansion to political alliances against western democracies, cos theyve been always suspicious with the Americans and Brits since before.
