Wasn't he executed by Stalin during the Second Great Purge? I wasn't aware the Corn Lord was capable of necromancy.

The Footprint of Mussolini - TL
1) No, that’s the standard colour for Mexico, Mexican pink. The Congo however has the colour for the Simba Rebellion meaning that it’s not under the Kinshasa/Leopoldville.
They could thank their lucky stars Mongolia isn't being subjected to the OTL treatment of Xinjiang, and I'll leave it at that.
Considering Ochab lived long enough to serve out his prison sense as he died in 1988, where did he go after release? Did he join Kim in Swiss exile?
Or worse, the Ainu ITTL. I mean holy hell, I'm afraid the Ainu might end up being driven to extinction, like the Slovenes before them.
Well, they'd probably argue Tsar Nicholas II was someone with outdated political views but a well-meaning man instead.
I doubt it, they're isolated in remote islands away from the rest of Japanese culture but close enough to have contact between them. I imagine Tokyo would for the most part leave them alone. They would allow them to live by their culture ONLY in those islands. Kinda like an American or Canadian Indian Reservation.
Great chapter.
I hope there is some kickback on the treatment of the Ainu when it all comes out.
Kim made the right decision- it probably saved his country. Horrible person or not I bet later historians are lighter on him for only that.
Well only one horrible ideology left to go now....

Why do I have a feeling Fascism in TTL's 2020, with stuff like Mussolini's 60% adoration rating, is probably seen much like Communism is seen IOTL?
Oh, well, in that case we could expect a Trail of Tears scenario. Hopefully enough will survive to keep their culture alive to some degree.
This seems likely. Sato while seen as a hero in Japan is said to be more controversial overseas. Especially as the fate of the Slovenes and other oppressed peoples comes to more attention, I expect the Ainu on the Kurils and Ainu immigrants will bring more attention to their plight. Unfortunately it will likely be at least a few years until the hype over Communism fades and the liberators come under more scrutiny.
The fate of the Ainu and doing nothing to halt other Japanese military atrocities coming to light my help the Republicans back into power with the Freedo APrties clsime moral supertiority being called out over enabling warcrimes. Even without that it seems the Freedom Party is set to lose the White House.

Some thoughts on China vs Italy for prestige in the coming years:
Italy is increasingly under pressure over Ethiopia and isolated from the West. While China has just waged a highly successful war cooperating with the ITO.
Also China may build a stronger relationship with Japan f Japan comes under fire for it Ainu policy and China back them up.
China may also be able to appeal to Indochina if France or the West start demanding more democratic reforms.
China likely will start alying groundwork for its own space program soon which will be much hyped, while italy may have to make cut backs on its own with the ongoing Ethiopian money pit.

Perhaps there could be a corporatist style doloprano, or strength through joy on an international scale.
