The last US airplane to be shot down by a naval vessel in WWII was by an Italian Submarine in the Pacific. When Mussolini lost control of Italy, there was still a lot of Italian military in their province in China, who were completely surrounded by the Japanese. Since most of Italy was now siding with Allies, the Japanese invaded the territory. Some Italian military still loyal to Mussolini, like this submarine crew, cut a deal, and agreed to join the Japanese, and fight for them until the end of WWII.

@Depresso Caspico Then please give us sources for your claim.

@Depresso Caspico I am also Italian, and your statement is somewhat false. Italians did want an empire. Obviously the pathetic failed attempts disheartened this will. Examples are the political campaigns in 1912 and 1934 by Italian politicians, and the massive popular support they gained.

@Depresso Caspico I think it would be fair to say that everyone *wanted* an empire (including the italians), but most didn't want to sacrifice for it. I'm sure many Italians believed that attempting to form an empire would always end up being a net negative for the Italian people. If empires were free, everyone would have one. Seems likely that many Italians generally didn't want to burn foreign peoples and their own to get an empire. I think that this is a fair assessment :)

@Depresso Caspico Italy also was only Italy for a limited time once the world order was largely established. But before then mercantile states like Genoa and Venice had colonies throughout the Mediterranean and Black Sea.

That's fair ha.

Japan: I wouldn't say "freed", more like under new "management".

He did say freed from Chinese influence

To be fair, Japan around 1900 is an entirely different beast compared to Japan in the 1930s. The most traumatic experiences the Koreans suffered through came later.

Also some areas they didn't control at all. At least not directly. There were some inland groups who didn't know they were under European influence until decolonization created the modern nation states in africa.

Without rapid fire weapons it would have been impossible to colonize Africa. Even with the west African empires in a weakened state it would have been a suicide mission. Europeans would probably have reduced their population greatly only to lose the colonies in less than a year.

Now Europe is wiped eunuch.

It wouldn't, they would only need to divide it into small "independent" states, like USA and Russia did to Europe after the world wars.

@@user_____M The colonial empires of the late 19th to early 20th centuries had very different goals than the US and USSR during the Cold War. The colonial powers wanted to take land for themselves to make money instead of creating ideologically aligned states. Creating small "independent" states would be costly and unbeneficial to any 19th-century colonial power, not to mention being very difficult as regionalism in China very much does not exist as it did in Europe. Edit: "regionalism" is probably not the right word; it's more like "regional nationalism"

Britain almost won over China when that Emperor wannabe wanted to be a British puppet to rule China but America put that idea down hard.

Not that hard. The number of people that you need to run a colony isn't that much.

@@alexshi1679 I think this reverses cause and effect. Different parts of China are as different as different parts of the Arab world. The reason that China is very anti-regional comes from the efforts to partition China. If those had succeeded, China would have looked like the Arab world.

Exactly. The maker of this video doesn’t really know much about China - you can very obviously tell he has zero perspective or context from the China side. Any Europeans actually taking over land would have been ejected later - and it would just bring nationalism to China decades earlier than what actually took place.

I mean, the Europeans managed to conquer Africa and it is territoriality massive. And China at that time was much richer than Africa, it could definitely support a larger troop presence. But in all likelihood, China would be made into a string on protectorates not direct colonies.

@@sn0wdon Sure but their populations were tiny, and most of the people were not under their direct control just colonies. Those people have their own issues to deal with their colonial masters.

@@sn0wdon India was never one people. It's a modern British creation. They had local identities etc... Different histories and different languages etc.. Much easier to conquer.

@Ярослав Л What?

@Ярослав Л Every country on Earth was at one point genocidal slavers

@Ярослав Л Uh, why do you think I hate those countries? You just assumed I'm American huh? Those are my favorite regions/countries/cultures in the world, though I love all countries, cultures, and regions as well. I'm not shallow and small-minded as you seem to be, nor do I hate a singular country. Life is too short for hatred. Those countries were once genocidal slavers at one point, but that does not mean I hate them. Every country has something beautiful and something terrible, and it's your choice to hate them for their mistakes or to see past their flaws. It's not even the country at fault, it's the people who control it. The Mongols under Genghis Khan were much different compared to Ogadai Khan. You clearly chose to be pessimistic. I doubt you even know a thing about your countries history. Do you even know who Perun is, or what the Tale of Bygone Years is? Do you even know the NAMES of the 12 tribes that created the Russian and Ruthenian identity? Do you even know the name of the Varangian who united the Russians? Do you know any of that without even looking them up? I don't think you do. I doubt you don't even know where to begin with Syria, Iran, and China. Especially China because of how ancient they are. I hope one day you grow up and find peace with yourself because you are clearly distraught and not mentally sound.

@Ярослав Л good respond to your comment is those people got genocidal slaved do not exist anymore. Only the genocidal slavers survived after these years.

@Ярослав Л are you really saying Russia, China and Iran never conquered/enslaved? Heck China is still enslaving Uyghers.

Nobody accepts humiliation, sometimes a nation fucks up and pratfalls. China seems to think that power and military can prevent that. It cannot. Hard power has its limits. China tried to threaten people to keep them from questioning the corona virus origin. It did not work. Now they look bad, humiliated if you will. Such are the limits of power.

@@Snipergoat1 Lmao, what did you think China was doing for the past 40 or so years? Sitting around? No China's been making itself stronger every day. No, your wrong power and military can prevent it. We have a Chinese proverb, "好战必亡，忘战必危." "Those who are warmongers will die inevitably, those who forget war will be in mortal danger inevitably." The purpose of having a strong military is so that you do not have to use the military. China needs to look strong in order that foreign countries may not humiliate it once again. Your right absolute brute force will not do the trick but that's not what China is doing. It is merely showing its power so that people can know that China is back and is not afraid of enemies this time.
