Alright, this is something I've been thinking about for awhile.
Basically, had Japan retained its colonies, and perhaps gained slightly more, how would it react to decolonization?
Would they go the British route and form Dominions to try and retain some influence in the new nations, would it go the French route
of trying to form an integral Union/Federation, would they simply outright refuse to allow the status quo from being changed or would
they go another route?
Another thing, what would they considered colonies, Korea was more or less an unequal but integral part of the Empire and Taiwan was
close to becoming a full integral and equal Prefecture, so what would gain independence, and how might the world react?
