Well, not really since Churchill started the war. He had the UK end it's alliance with Japan, and had them cut off from oil. He also created conditions which forced war from Germany. When you're the more powerful side you can start the war without firing a shot first.

After Japan increased its sphere of influence driven by militarism and Nationalism in China '31 (J. left league of nations) and Indochina (oil embargo). Also Japan feared Soviets, signed anti comintern pact with Germany.

You need to look into the earlier part of the 20th century when the UK was a treaty ally with Japan, and then, for no reason, broke the treaty, and made Japan an enemy.

It was the French who wanted crippling compensation from Germany which lead to the rise of National Socialism. Britains Lloyd George wanted reparation but not to cripple Germany as it is self-defeating and he wanted peace in Europe. France wanted to crush Germany.

Actually, true. It was also over five million. He was a monster. I think it's high time his legacy was reassessed. His genocidal tendencies weren't just confined to India either.

Rob, your insight to the history that is real and hidden from the masses is bang on. Like most things given to our civilization, it is bastardized, politicized, skewed , and full of doctrine. History is just that!
