My impressions on The Second World War.

In my opinion, there was no benefit for any party, after the second world war, as it should be. There were acts of aggression instigated by all nations, except the United States. The Japanese attacked the United States, when it should have normalized relationship with her. Japanese interests were in Asia, but even then she should not have used aggression. England, was at a disadvantage. She was controlling territory, for example, Burma, in Asia, and she was a small nation in territory, although an earnest nation in her people. She had decided to give up her claims in Asia, or at least the political circles in England had, except for those who followed Winston Churchill's peacetime plans. She decided on this course of action, perhaps, before the Second World War, when Hitler gained prominence. A valuable part of her armed forces was stationed in India. If the Japanese had concentrated on her interests in Asia, I do not believe, that English resistance would have endured in Asia. And, I am sure, British practical thought would have accepted, that the English military presence was misplaced in South, South-East Asia. However, Japanese inappropriateness in her military actions in Burma, Korea, and against the British Armed Forces, strengthened that Dogged, and brave nation England's resolve. I believe, if The United States was not attacked, England would have attacked Germany, in the scenario just mentioned earlier. There was no need for Germany to attack the British Isles, in any situation, and instigate her hostility. If I were Japan, I would have only considered aggression, if I had friends in Asia, who needed military assistance. I am sure, that in hindsight, the political thought in England today feels that it benefited by her major withdrawal of her military presence from Asia, then. Japan could then have assisted the Asian Nations, and withdrawn. Japan then could have assuaged English feelings in the best manner possible. England was a reasonable and practical nation, but she was justifying her presence in Asia, which was not to her interest, keeping in mind Adolf Hitler. Even if Hitler had not risen in German politics, England would have been strained. The Indian Army under the British, was greater in number than the British Army, in peacetime. Indian Industry was accepting western technology. A pioneer in this regard was the House of Tata & sons. India, under British rule, would have benefited more industrially, than England, and perhaps, England would have left India to her considerable fate, more gracefully, in the future, then. This is all hindsight. Japan, and all the nations involved in the Second World War, did great disservice to themselves, in the aftermath of the war. This was to the extent, that the Allies did not trust each other after the war. The United States cannot be blamed for entering the war, but she did use atomic weapon technology in war. Perhaps, the Japanese would have fought on, if The United States had not used atomic weapon technology.
