So much bykksht

japan and china traded

thatd be like saying greece was a phoenician vassal for using its alphabet

I think it's more like a little kid copying an adult

Being stared here

they didn't war as often as france and germany, because they were separated by sea

If all you got is ignorance

kind of like england and france

The. It’s k good

sweden and russia

also japan has a lot more storms than china

england and france is a more or less unique relationship

so china didn't bother colonizing japan

or annexing it

japan could assert independence

Japan helped pirates attack China for a few hundred years (The Wokou) iirc

like they could lol

yeah, because it's an island and shit

the chinese sucked due

there wasn't a rivalry, because japan couldn't match the power of china

they lost in vietnam

not until industrialization tipped the scales

they lost in manchuria

But, they still were heavily influenced by china, right

like

anyway, that's the reason

again

it has to do with geography

literally

one of their writing systems is ltierally chinese characters

anyone who trades

with another nation

meanwhile, france and germany were similar in power, so they became rivals

is influenced by them

dude

Yes but it's one sided

fucking france

also either one invading the other was easy

uses the same lphabet

due to landlockage

as germany
