sounds you know some Japanese history, but fact is no, you only see some surfice but not the nature of that time.
tokukawa Japan was an example of loose controlled nation, through whom the strength lies in warlords in locals, not the Edo government, and a surrender was a prefix of meiji revolution, a catalyst. warlords was indifferent of a win or loss, or even happy to see an openning to outworld, they know americans better than those in Edo.
it's silly to talk to me about Japanese history, If I am a college students, you could be only a pre-school kids.
I don't know about the war of 1967, Korean war against the US and French? but I'd rather believe it's a war between China and French US, etc in Korean peninsular, as at that time Korean this nation was still in China's hands, until 1890 Korea was handed to Japan by China.
