Can someone explain how Japan was able to bully n invade China in the early 20th century

[BrothaZay]

The thread about the atomic bomb got me thinking


More was a island country like Japan able to bully n conquer to the most populated country in the world and what made them even bold enough to try

And how did China go from a country that let nikkas bully them to a super power in 50 years

China was not organized in any way. It was split into 4 sections that not only had issues amongst each other, but internal strife as well. As a result they were a pretty much a peasant nation. Japan however had an emperor and a robust army that had been organized for hundreds of years

China’s post war advancement came primarily from the Soviet’s giving Mao Zedong and the communist party a blank check which he used to beat the country into submission in the 70s. An organized China could use its most powerful assets, it’s population and the waterways, to become an international powerhouse

Japan was a few hours away from the battle while Russia was days away. It was a logistical disaster for Russia in that war.

China was very unstable it had just over threw its government and Japan had been putting 1000% of its effort into modernizing its country and army

Superior tech. Japan had better tech than the US. Remember, it took years for america to figure out how to fight back against zeroes.

I’m guessing you are talking about WW2. Before Nixon/the Communist takeover, China was a very poor argro country reeling from civil war and almost a hundred years of interference from countries like GB. Their last dynasty got smoked in war and was forced to allow Europeans to pilfer that land for resources all while not paying taxes and forcing the rulers to pay tribute. They also use to export cheap ass opium to China before war and got a lot of ppl addicted. Dirty shyt. Gotta also remember China is massive and had multiple factions/warlords controlling the country that weren’t on the same page

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Like many have already said, China was unorganized, poor/broke, and in disarray and Japan wasn’t...

Japan was ruthless before them bombs got dropped.. they weren’t this weird, anime loving, country it seems to be now.

Better technology and because Japan was always overwhelmingly more agreesive throughout the centuries because they were on an island and lacked resources.

It was either take other folks shyt or be hungry.
