just sayin...
Japan are a nation of imitators...
That shit did not just start with cars and music
It started earlier.
lrn2history yourself
Japan wanted to be a big imperial power like the US, so it started conquering other nearby countries and branding itself "imperial".
But the US Russia, and Great Britain told them they could not annex land, and annexed it I believe either the liaodong peninsula or some area Japan had conquered for themselves in a big "do as I say not as I do" move.
So the US, including Teddy Roosevelt, taught Japan o be imperial and a one time praised their 'imperial' ambitions, but later when the shit really went down exposed themselves as racist hypocrites.
The right to expand and occupy territory was shown as solely the white man's right. After that, Japan started mobilizing for WWII.
