We all know for the Khalkin Gol incident in 1939.
The Khalkin Gol ( Nomohan ) incident between japanese and soviet troops ended with japanese defeat and peace with SU.

But, what if, Japanese wanted to avenge this defeat, and declared war on the USSR?

Ofc, I think that Japan would very soon be defeated totaly in Manchuria and soviet forces would go for Korea. Japanese troops from chinese mainland would have to retreat, so Japan might only hold Korea and Hainan, maybe Liaodong peninsula and Shandong peninsula, but I'm not sure ( in range of canons of IJN ).

Japan would probably managed to occupy northern part of Sakhalin island and to keep it with help of IJN.

So, what consequences for Japan and Asia?

In my opinion, consequences for Japan would be very positive.
