What if All Went RIGHT for Modern-Day Japan? #history #whatif #japan #usa
So, what if all went right for Modern-Day Japan and they became the strongest country in the world?
Believe it or not, it was actually possible to happen, as after the Second World War, Japan was left in ruins. Then they recovered, but their economy started to explode, as they were the pioneers of electronics, manufacturing, cars, and etc.

Doesn’t seem very possible
Love the work keep it up
Would love to see more videos in this style. I’d love to see one about what if Australia was a world power since they had the capability I’m pretty sure they’re treaty that united Australia also included New Zealand and Fiji, which would’ve given them a huge strength boost and on top of that after World War I, I think That New Zealand got Samoa and Australia got Papua New Guinea so yeah Australia would’ve had a huge influence if all of that happened but it’s just an idea that I am giving you full legal allowance to use 🙂
Japan be getting payback
I've been addicted to this guys videos since ive found him two months ago😭
This is assuming reunited Korea doesn't act as a buffer between China and Japan. Tensions following WW2 are still major today so imagine in the 50's…
Great video. what if Atilla the Hun lived longer?
Greatee yougoslavia part 2 when???
What if everything went right for Japan:- Japan becoming the Strongest Country
Hideki Tojo intensifies
Now what if everything went perfect for imperial Japan?
this was really interesting
Japan has pretty strict immigration policies and don't really have a favourable view of south asian countries so don't think the last part could happen. Japan has an aging society which would be the same in this alternate universe which would severely harm them long-term. Also, a stronger south korea without communism to be a mutual enemy would likely not have warm relations with japan, unless Park Chung Hee or another dictator stays in power. Otherwise, there would be tense relations or Korea could even favour China over Japan. Also even if Japan overtakes America economically, militarily it could do little without American backing, despite like anime and stuff would have nowhere near the soft power of the US. The best Japan can get is being viewed as an equal to the US, which is still unlikely even with a stronger economy.
Do the same buth with Russia i think that is cool idea😊,And nice video stronger Japan is like very big change for the world
The et in et cetera is and.
Can you make a video about “what if North and South Korea unites tomorrow” plssss I am subscribed to you and love your vids
Also the guy who was elected president of taiwan after chiang ching kuo was really pro japan and even said that taiwan should still be part od japan, so if he got his way, japan could have reannexed taiwan. Then let's also say china would start a war over this but the two strongest countries would be japan and america, so they'd get rekt and a friendly government could be installed in china.
I recommend to read about Solow's model, that would explain Japan's miracle after WW2 and why it stopped
What if everything went right for philipines
Eyy are you only making modern day and current day content, I have a favor can you make an alternate history of many great empires before the 1700s
The most unbelievable thing here is Japan accepting migrants, hell they discriminate against the Japanese diaspora from countries like Brazil, let alone any other ethnicity😅
i dont think japan and korea would ally as they kinda hate each other
Most of your statements make no sense Japan doesn't want foreign an immigration and it has access to plenty of resources without Korea. The problem was their real estate bubble exploded and they went into a massive depression that they totally mishandled and still have not recovered. You also didn't talk about how Japan's falling population also is a huge problem since there is no foreign immigration to speak of. Your premise should have been that Japan somehow solved its population collapse and therefore their economy started to recover and they started building up their military in the 80s so that they could protect themselves better and project power again.
I doubt very much fhat just uniting the Koreas and accepting more immigrants would stop the japanese housing bubble from popping (no idea what english term is)
Electronics……. Manufactoring…………. Cars… And etc 🥶
Can you do one for the philippines my firend?
China would still be aggressive towards taiwan island, as Japan has its military limited. China with its large resources will inevitably rise to what it is today so as long as order is maintained on the inside
No if South Korea would have one the korran war they would not be allied with Japan.
Strongest in the world? No strongest in Asia? Absolutly
A lot of Japan's economic success is due to the fact that they spend less than 1% of their GDP on military and can dedicate more towards their civilian economy. The US takes care of their security. No truly great power can be reliant on another nation for protection.
