Over what? Another strip of what was thought of as a useless backwater back then? The problem is more with the clarity of borders, the relations between China and Russia, and how much each country actually cares about such a backwater.
You mean how long until they were assimilated into Chinese culture with minimal impact? The thing is China is massive melting pot, historically it is the only place in the world that has assimilated the reclusive Jewish immigrants. Also they would probably be called a bastardized version of...
They will be cut back during the depression by Bennett-really no way around this (decommissioned or simply keep at pier), not very useful during WWII where Canada's chief naval duty was escorting, and somewhat obsolete in WWII as aircraft dominates the sea.
In China yes, but in the Pacific theater? No , they didn't have the logistics nor naval support (so essentially against the Allied powers) to employ artillery much.
The flip side being, once again logistics. They could never supply all their men properly so often Japanese forces were reduced...
No, it was what they did in OTL as it was deemed as better than giving it to the Japanese. Also fix your quotes
They didn't have the ability, strategic bomber: wasn't in their inventory. More importantly if one looks at what happened during the blitz you'd see that bombing only strengthems the...
We went over that already, they implemented a scorched earth policy. Also that only concerns food and shelter:not ammo and spare parts plus going light negates the IJA's material advantage in things like mortar and tanks.
The point stands, how subs did against warships have nothing to do with...
Do you have a link for that? Look this isn't even relevant to the original point which was the effect of British subs on shipping.
They aren't going up against warships, just slow moving merchants moving on pre-defined routes.
Well duh, you don't use subs to sink warships, you use them for recon and merchant shipping.
Wait so are we talking about the manpower in OTL's 1940's IJA or something else here. Since if we assume a different scenario we'd need some numbers to play around with. Also are we assuming that the...
Why not? Like I stated before the KMT and communists were only fighting the Japanese half-heartedly, it would change if the Japanese pushed further . Also Japan would be occupying more ground to guard, and all the resources required. The KMT was on the defensive during most of the war, the...
Ugh, then do your own research, you've been around the site long enough to know how things work. We aren't your helper monkeys who at your command for stats. The onus isn't on us to compile evidence to disprove your suggestions if you never provided evidence to back up your points in the first...
Which allows it to overextend itself by occupying more parts of China. As stated before, difference between battles and guerilla warfare.
It's the first, it's not a matter of food allocation: it's that the system of industrialized agriculture broke down entirely. Unless the military is...
