Let's go through the list: - entered medical school at 17 - president of Nagoya Medical School by 25 - distinguished medic in Satsuma Rebellion - became head of Home Ministry medical bureau - published Principles of National Health - worked on new water & sewage systems in Tokyo
- first civilian governor of Taiwan - ordered a land survey & worked on water & sewage systems there - built public hospital and medical college in Taipei - built clinics to treat tropical diseases across the island - ended opium epidemic in Taiwan
"he tripled the road system, established a post office network, telephone & telegraph services, a hydroelectric power plant, newspapers, & the Bank of Taiwan. The colony was economically self-supporting [...] despite numerous large-scale infrastructure projects being undertaken."
I can say the only colony of theirs that doesn’t hate the Japs are the Taiwanese
I'm calling Ch^na, Manchukuo, the Phillippines, Vietnam and Indonesia their colonies (albeit the last 3 are wartime conquests)
Manchukuo counts as a colony, I'll grant that (tho not held for long, and never out of military rule iirc) Indonesia likes Japan well enough nowadays, Philippines are nice too, idk about Vietnam but certainly it's Korea and PRC have the most ire for Japan
This Vietnam-ish gril told me that the Japs caused a famine that polished off a million people - without even meaning to - made them grow cotton (cash crop) instead of rice. Viets are more anti-Chnese than anything else.
...that sounds like what the French were doing. I imagine the Japanese didn't want to change it, though
