unless the story already has ALOT of drama

One brit turned out to be pivotal for a unification of Japan under one ruler, AND a great technological leap forward

That series was great except for bloody Marco Polo

Fascinating story that

well, that phenomena is well documented; hell, i've experienced it

especially when dating a german

you tend to come up with different ways to express things and make less hard assumptions

hard assumptions impede communications

i can see how one Brit could affect such an impact

Well, Japan was also scammed by NL at that time

NL?

And this one brit disspelled the lies

The Dutch

ah, Netherlands

yeah, there is that aspect to; cultural blindness

They monopolised the trade with Japan, and didn't allow any other nation to trade with them

All while outright lying to japanese

things like that is why i couldn't stand Borat

And trying to push christianity onto them

That brit, he was a protestan, and he ruined their little scam

interesting

ching chong, the trade war is on.

never had much interest in asian cultures. Russia, yes. but never China nor Japan

how is it amphibious?

🌈 china 🌈

probably can lauch hover-craft

launching landing craft makes it 'amphibious'

My guess is they refer to the tanks and trucks inside

typically, there is an open landing pad inside the hull

If i was japan, I would increase military even more and faster
