After lost war against the Soviet Union, Japanese Empire fell into the hands of expansionist, nationalist regime that started rapid industrialization of the Home Islands, militarization of society and aggressive war to establish new Peace under the Sun in Asia. Phillippines, left without protection after American Civil War, were the first target for Japanese war machine, followed by Dutch East Indies (weakened by the loss of mainland Netherlands to the syndicalist revolution) and Legation Cities in China. Empire of India, that arose after Princely Federation defeated both Delhi and Communard regimes, was defeated in the long war of 1943-1947. All these regions were made into puppet states, ruled by the Japanese Emperor with some rights to autonomy.​
