ok, another alternate universe 'what if' game
this time, would imperial japan still be a world power today if they'd stayed neutral throughout the whole 2nd world war?
if they jsut held onto korea, taiwan, manchuria etc and not caused much waves?
obviously the chinese would've had something to say about that, but would the united nations post 1945 in this hypothetical world of having defeated hitler have made japan give up its ill-gotten gains?
