No but The US and UK are far less notorious and so are not as good examples.
> Also, the nazis aren't a nation
Given the foulness of the topic but limited space, I wanted to emphasize the enormous difference between the Germans and Japanese of today vs 80 years ago. In retrospect, I should have written Tojo instead of Japan even though he is not a country either.

In terms of conquest and genocide, either easily outdoes germany or japan. > I wanted to emphasize the enormous difference between the Germans and Japanese of today vs 80 years ago. What's the difference? People are people. The Germans and Japanese of today are pretty much the same as the Germans and Japanese of 80 years ago. Did they evolve? > In retrospect, I should have written Tojo instead of Japan even though he is not a country either. In retrospect you shouldn't have tried to push propaganda.
