[QUOTE="Arrgh! Mark!, post: 1818325, member: 14559"] Ahh, warlike discussion is fun :D (Snippy) And don't forget that there was a small provision that the Japanese requested be made to the Treaty of Versailles to endorse the principle of the equality of all races, which was flatly scratched by the US and Britain, and is thought by many to have been that slap in the face that further pushed feelings of racial japanese superiority. Plus, there were several factions with power in Japanese government that saw the US as a direct threat; an imperialist nation creeping ever closer to Japan's imperial ambitions while using treaty to limit Japan's expansion (while similarly expanding nearly unabated into areas that Japan coveted). Ledded: An interesting and probably quite valid point - as I said, Japan really did get the shaft from our more paternalistic nations. I'd be unsure if this slap in the face was any marking point though. I think the denial of territory claims probably hurt a fair bit more - to a growing imperial presence. I had a very large post detailing lots of interesting facts and then I realised most of it was speculative nonsense anyway. So I spare you reading it. Ledded - I've read your story hour - good work too - but I'd like to ask how much history makes it into the actual game itself? Realistic battles or political events I mean.
