>>540253871And you just rolled out the red carpet for the Japanese and co-operated with them in Indochina. Then you got defeated in open battle by Viet Minh rice farmers and run out of town. See also Algeria. If we are pathetic then what does that make you?
>>540255008We weren't the first naval empire with multiple colonies of french ppl across the globe. We got raped by germany two times, while you had the luxury of being on an island and put everything in your navy.
>>540255181The navy was kind of busy at the time the Japanese attacked, y'know trying to keep the Atlantic open to prevent starvation, the Meditterranean, the Arctic convoys to Russia. Everyone got buttfucked by the japs in 1941-42 then we all got our act together. That was the pattern of the war. The British-Indian army in 1944 inflicted on the IJA the biggest defeat in its history up to that point.

>>540253871I don't remember that, I remember the Japanese getting their asses handed to them when our army finally caught up with them. They were fighting militia for the first year while our army was in north Africa.

>>540255564>>540255716cope as much as you want but this doesn't answer why you split into cuck countries bowing to the US while you are all literally the same bongs

>>540253871The UK nearly bankrupted itself during World War I and it pushed the colonial governments to take care of themselves to help keep costs down, which suited them just fine because they wanted more control. World War II fucked it even harder and they were in no position to resist Germany and Japan, much less American and Soviet pressure to decolonize after the war.>>540254133Actually the Israelis were on their side when the nail was driven in the coffin, because they preferred European control over the Suez canal instead of Egyptian.
>>540253871What could have been...
>>540258286These fucking jannies really are shameless.
>>540253871typical case of empire decayas colonies develop they get more expensive and complicated to governmake retarded alliances and get dragged into retarded wars and overnight your empire becomes the vassal
>>540255716without america ausflags would be typing moonrunes rn
>>540258113Every one of these countries has fought in our wars.
>>540253871Shattering the British Empire is a source of pride for the Japanese people.
>>540261613Australian security doctrine has always been, suck up to the 'Great and Powerful Friend' and they will protect you.A doctrine their ancestors learnt in the penal colony.
>>540253871Lack of national spirit. The British spirit was crushed by WWI and WWII, whereas the other 3 were bred and psychologized to be totally submissive and docile.
>>540253871France used to solo the whole of Europe and win. France faced decline earlier than the UK which makes it less historically noticeable. The reasons for decline are multifaceted but basically boil down to feedback loops which are inevitable and unstoppable due to national elites always working in their self interest rather than having a grand long term plan like the player in a paradox game.
All sensible elites moved to support the Shadow Empire desu.My Life...For Nippon.
