I don’t really care about your emotional attachment to the issue. But for someone who claims to be “well versed in WWII pacific history” and not read that Japan would have surrendered without a ground invasion and without the bombs being dropped is frankly, ridiculous.

You obviously have not done much research on the subject then.

That is why it is called Germa. Short for Germany.

Even Hitler agreed that the Japanese people were equivalent to the Ayrans. That’s why they teamed up.

Not to mention that most prominent WWII historians agree that there was ABSOLUTELY no need to drop the two atomic bombs to end the war. The US did it to show the USSR their power.

Yep, japan really learned a lot from the europeans.

Asia still is. US bases are still in Asia for a very good reason.

The eagle is not associated with nazis. It is associated with germany, as it has been used throughout german history, since the HRE. But I get where you are coming from.

I met his granddaughter. She was nice.

They probably also do not know what Jews are. It took me a while to understand the concept of anti-semitism as Jews look the same as most Europeans when I first got to the US. It’s really something you grasp after seeing it constantly in person.

And Hitler took the Native American genocide as a template for the Holocaust.

The Japanese do not teach WW2 history usually. It paints themselves in a negative light and the government has been taking steps to get rid of these negative portrayals.

What’s more, the ambivalence to Nazi iconography could also be because a counterclockwise swastika, or manji as it’s called in Japanese, is traditionally used in Japan on maps to denote Buddhist temples.

There are also atrocious crimes commited in Asia by the Japanese. I would rather they learn those before the holocaust.

Burma? Probably mistook it for a buddhist helmet then.

Japan also does not teach the hisory of WW2. 

That’s not a Nazi uniform...

Yea, my Civ games last for weeks... So I dunno how it would work. When the timeline is too fast it loses the charm for me.

Sorry, I am only 400 hours in to CKII. I have to finish it before I can do another Paradox game.

What perspectives are available in the single player? I read elsewhere that there is also no Russia...
