As world war 2, being in Poland in Europe, Japan was having his own war between his neigboordhoods in half continent Asiatic, his primary and most rouft war was in Manchurria, China. Nevertheless, as german-sovietic pact was temporary and invasion to the Soviet Union was inmienent, Japan has a pact with the Axis Power which constit in antiComunism politics, but Japan has no intension to strike the soviets, he instead attack the U.S (??), which its inteligence service told them they has no chances to win a war in full scale vs U.S.

If Japan had not attack the U.S and decided, well either attack the soviets or do "nothing" (because they had a war), the profile would the :
Where they still be an Asiatic most powerful Empire?
Have they conserved all the territory gain? (Manchurria, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Malasia, Philipin Islands, both Corea)

What do you thing?
Judge another history that it would have not been far away (more real than imagine)...
