Something I've noticed around here....
There are an inordinate number of timelines where Germany avoids the Nazis; whether it becomes an authoritarian democracy a la Putin's Russia, a shiny happy FDR in the 1930s, or some other group starts putting on the Reich, we explore alternate Germany's in incredible detail.
But Japan? Well, no matter what the POD, people assume Japan will become insane military expansionists, to the point we discuss a war with France in 1936 (or 1906), or assume that Japan would go to war with a successful Republican China.
Why is this the case?
