Hideki Tojo's "non-negotiable" war goals for Japan's inevitable victory. Does not include the lands also wanted to annex, but was willing to bend on. Was this a realistic goal for Japan?
Hideki Tojo's "non-negotiable" war goals for Japan's inevitable victory.
Was the Japanese Empire ultimately victorious at the end of World War Two? That was a rhetorical question. The answer of course is no.

the idea of Japan trying to swallow down India when they were choking on China is hilarious and I want an alt timeline viewer to see it
They had an (admittedly small) collaborationist army crop up to fight the british who would have assisted and theoretically grown with victories, but they were very poorly trained, and did not perform well.
What’s funny is that Indian nationalists lionize them today as if they weren’t getting their marching orders from the same people that were slaughtering Indians and eating their hearts.
they might have not performed militarily well
but they were excellent propaganda tool and served as excellent spies and saboteurs
INA was supposed to fight a guerilla warfare first then once they have achieved political moment they were supposed to used it into a nation wide insurgent similar to Vietcong
Japanese were unwilling to give them heavy arms and armour so it would make sense for them to only fight guerilla war
They didn't spy or sabotage anything, poojeet
They were laughably useless all around
The British had more trouble from the Burmese
>british had more trouble from the burmese
lol
burmese were even more pathetic
Their only contribution during the war was beating up chinks and allied PoWs
general aung sang changed sides at the last moment and "defeated" the japanese
Actually, the INA were called out pretty easily because the British had a large number of sepoys
Kachins however gave them more trouble in the patrolling and covert ops stage of 43-44, and the Burmese populace from whom they bought intel and supplies were known to be playing both sides against each other
>when they were choking on China
They were making gains there even in 1945
His point was, by then they should have pushed through and conquered the hordes of barely trained and equipped peasants.
they werent holding territory well though they had a partisan problem
But still never had any hope whatsoever of winning
Nice cope chink
>They were making gains there even in 1945
Choking is just swallowing but really, really slow and painful, anon. I think you could say the same about those gains, no?
Black person, they were getting nuked in 1945. The fact that they were on the back foot against ANZAC, GB, and USA… while STILL taking ground against the Chinese, is proof that they would have won handily if not for FDR baiting them into a war for his israeli masters
imagine a bunch of lil japs tryna fight their way through the hindu kush, get up to banzai charge slip on a rock and tumble a few thousand feet to the valley below while little muslimas dressed like ewoks run for their lives from the yellow menace
No, and it probably reflects an inherent understanding that the war could not be won.
why
Panama canal probably
They wanted to be THE pacific power but they didn’t want to only be a PACIFIC power
For the creation of latina/Korean hybrid comfort girls
>the Japanese would have breed a superior race of blasian Afro Cuban women
VGH what could have been...
Chiquita
To acquire banan
I am surprised they didn't want Mexico considering Japan has a niche subculture where they LARP as cholos who don't commit crimes.
This seems like a case of, "if we proclaim so much ludicrous shit, they'll willing give us what we actually want, if we get some type of win", sort of thinking.
Frick no, I think this must be made up, at least as far as holding in America are concerned
How the frick were they to hold carribeans?
>was this a realistic goal for Japan
*checks tonnage launched during the war*
No
>nobody realizes he said all of this to sink the possibility of a peace negotiation by making ridiculous demands
I expected better from /k/
Why would he want to sink a peace negotiation when his country was in the weaker position?
He was moronic.
So there was no chance japan could surrender obviously. This is a country that started the largest naval battle in human history purely so their navy could commit suicide with honor
>started the largest naval battle in human history purely so their navy could commit suicide with honor
That's the kind of shit you do in a strategy game when it becomes clear you're gonna lose. The Japanese really were just map painting.
this is imperial japan dude they didn't really negotiate
for what purpose did japan want half the world's population
They figured that if Britain could do it and become the first industrial superpower, then them doing so was the only hope Japan had of becoming a self-sufficient superpower in charge of its own destiny. 'Realistically' if you magicked an Axis victory into existence, a lot of that would've been 'allied' client states economically dominated by the Zaibatsus rather than actual territory annexed into Japan, though some places would probably see a Japanese settler elite installed to replace the Europeans in the colonial hierarchy.
>Wanting Haiti
I can't imagine the reaction of the IJA when they arrive at Port Au Prince.
>Wanting Haiti
>I can't imagine the reaction of the IJA when they arrive at Port Au Prince.
Back in the 1940s Haiti was a sleepy tropical island full of natural resources and harmless joggers wearing straw hats and selling fruit, not that different from Cuba, Jamaica or any other Caribbean island.
>imperial Japanese Cuba
はぁ... 何ができたか...
Poojets have always been the ultimate yes men, they served the Boongs with little to no resistance and they would have served the Japs. But Australia, Canada and Washington state? LMAO Tojo was off his meds, what made him think he would have tamed the f a v s t i a n anglo-saxon spirit?
Ironic considering poojets fought japs with no reservations
Meanwhile Canadians, Australians and NZs were shitting their pants that japs will invade them
>Slave race has no problems dying
>Aussies concerned their less fortified position is at risk after multiple island chains and literal fortress cities in more defensible positions full of ANZAC and bong troops, is not shit colonial troopers, have been put down and they're now next door to your sparsely populated continent.
It's a mystery
he didn't, they would have deported or genocided the white population.
I wish the nips had tried to land marines on the Continental US. Their mothers would've cried when they saw what the locals did to them.
sauce?
There's a reason why absolutely nobody was upset about Tojo getting hanged.
absolutely not, you would need to bring both the british empire and the US to unconditional defeat to get them to agree to those terms.
>wanting Australia and New Zealand
I am starting to believe this guy wasn't very smart.
>I am starting to believe this guy wasn't very smart.
Tojo voluntarily chose to take the blame for the Emperor's part in the war so the myth of the 'captive Emperor' could survive, so no, he wasn't very smart.
Source on these goals.
I think USA should have compromised. Peace is what always matters and Japan's security interests should be taken into account. Better not anger the rising sun
[citation needed]
As the Japanese went from victory to victory, Tojo and the rest of the Japanese elite were gripped by what the Japanese called "victory disease" as the entire elite was caught up in a state of hubris, believing Japan was invincible and the war was as good as won.[66] By May 1942, Tojo approved a set of "non-negotiable" demands to be presented once the Allies sued for peace that allowed Japan to keep everything it already conquered while assuming possession of considerably more. [66] Under such demands, Japan would assume control of the following territories:
the British Crown colonies of India and Honduras as well as the British dominions of Australia, Australian New Guinea, Ceylon, New Zealand, British Columbia and the Yukon Territory
the American state of Washington and the American territories of Alaska and Hawaii
most of Latin America including Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and the rest of the West Indies.[66]
Additionally, Tojo wanted all of China to be under the rule of the puppet Wang Jingwei, planned to buy Macau and East Timor from Portugal and to create new puppet kingdoms in Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaya.[67] As the Burmese had proved to be enthusiastic collaborators in the "New Order in Asia", the new Burmese kingdom would be allowed to annex much of north-east India as a reward.[68] The Navy for its part demanded that Japan take New Caledonia, Fiji, and Samoa.[68]
After kicking out western powers a power vacuum was left in a lot of asian countries. All they had to do was occupy the same positions as westerners had before and it was easy cruising. Going against the US however was pure lunacy and relied on the decadent western democracy giving up before having to fight.
SLAPPED
>Turn the Pacific into a Japanese lake
what an absolute mad lad, you've got to admire the ambition if nothing else.
An actual reason for being this ambitious would be that, in the event of total Axis victory, anything less would leave Japan weaker and vulnerable
>Alaska
>BC
>WA and OR
>Central America
>Caribbean
LMAO, it'd be insurgent central.
Why Washington but not California?
