If Russia doesn't go Communist in 1917, is Japan still going to behave aggressively towards China in the 1930s? And could this prompt a Russian military response against Japan sooner or later?
A Russo-Japanese War 2.0 where Russia kicks Japan out of both China and Korea while also securing at least southern Sakhalin for itself would certainly be very interesting. China should subsequently become a pro-Russian independent country, as should Korea, while southern Sakhalin could outright become a part of Russia. What do you think? Is this actually realistic? Actually plausible? And would any other countries get militarily involved in this, other than of course Chinese and Korean fighters who will be fighting for their freedom against their (would-be) Japanese occupiers?
Any thoughts on this? @Ricardolindo @stevep @Zyobot @Skallagrim @History Learner
