   Canada was most responsible for saving the day in WW1 (Vimy Ridge was the   
   turning point, all scholars agree) & in WW2, most of Europe credits Canada more   
   than any other.   
      
   Japan was separate from WW2 -- that was a private economic+power struggle   
   disagreement between Japan & USA. Japan gave written two week notice before   
   attacking Poearl Harbor. (a military target; Nagasaki & Hiroshima had no   
   military bases)   
      
   Japan was in the South Pacific separate from WW2. It was all part of the   
   oingoing Sino-Japanese wars that were of no defense concern to the West.   
      
   Your billionaire munitions & Big Steel manufacturers wanted in on a big scale   
   very profitable war & they pushed those they needed to to make it happen.   
      
   Funny thing, Canada declared war on Japan hours before the USA did.   
      
   Sorry, but I've talked with those who were in command positions then, & done   
   other research on the topioc. Fascinating stuff. . . & I'm so glad that episode   
   of "Global F*ck Everybody With War" is finally over.
