[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 472428, member: 1131"] Greetings! Joshua! I think I have a solution for you! In pre-war Japan in the mid-late 1930's there were various secret societies throughout Japan, most of them devoted to the Imperial Conquest. A few were devoted to supporting the various politicians in Japan that were moderate, and did not desire war with America. However, through a series of assassinations and terror-campaigns, the Imperialists got rid of key moderate opponents, and paved the way for the Imperialists to take complete control of the Japanese government. The Emperor, by the way, supported the Imperialists, but because of the way the Japanes government was organized, the Emperor didn't have many direct ways of controlling the government. However, it *could* have happened that the moderate politicians found a leader or two, and some agents with a ruthless streak, and managed to knock off some of the key Imperialists *first*--thus, avoiding war with America, because Japan would have agreed to withdraw at least partially from China, and Japan wouldn't have been on a course of empire building, but would have been more conciliatory. This would mean that the current Japanese government would be friendly, or at least conciliatory towards America. This always sets the stage though, for the Imperialists to finish what they failed to do in your *alternate* world a few years back in the 30's, and who knows what could happen?:) What do you think?
