    What if the Japanese territorial spoils from the 1894 Sino-Japanese War were limited to Korea?

    What about supporting Indochinese independence fighters on top of that? Or better to only focus on one prize at a time?

    What if the Japanese territorial spoils from the 1894 Sino-Japanese War were limited to Korea?

    Yeah, I mean, fair enough. It would certainly be a good way to impose a blockade on China if China will ever once again become hostile towards Japan, that's for sure! I also wonder if a Japan that's already stationed in the Philippines (either directly as a colonial power or indirectly through...

    What if the Japanese territorial spoils from the 1894 Sino-Japanese War were limited to Korea?

    Ah. Sorry. Didn't realize that. Should have read more carefully. This would, of course, make a Japanese move towards the Philippines a bit harder since Taiwan will be in the way. So, it won't be quite as much of a natural expansion for Japan in this TL, you know?

    What if the Japanese territorial spoils from the 1894 Sino-Japanese War were limited to Korea?

    Not so much that so much as merely inquiring into its plausibility. But Yes, the Philippines are Japan's version of Mexico. Korea would be Japan's version of Canada if Canada was much more populous. Taiwan doesn't really have a US equivalent, I think.

    What if the Japanese territorial spoils from the 1894 Sino-Japanese War were limited to Korea?

    Is there any chance of this causing Japan's leadership to attempt a Philippine adventure in 1894-1898? Spain was already busy with Cuba after 1895, so it won't be able to resist all that much.
