Why did the Japanese not take the opportunity to drive the Russians out of the East decisively during the Siberian Intervention? Fifteen years earlier, the Japanese won a decisive victory, why did they not press their advantage and conquer/establish client states in Siberia? As far as I can tell, they had almost every advantage. Japan had sat out WWI, and Russia had gotten some of the worst of it. Russia was undergoing a civil war, Japan had international backing during the intervention (at least early on) and there were some viable White Russian leaders that could be established as puppets.
So what went wrong for the Japanese? Could they change that?
