As I'm sure you all can remember Japan was part of WW1 just like the rest of us. And although they never really set foot on a battlefield they were against Germany and Austria-Hungary with countries such as France, America, Britain, and so on so forth. They also joined the League of Nations along with most of Europe and other countries (aside from America). But just because they fought with us doesn't mean that I will have any sympathy or support for them.
What Japan did and currently is doing is unreasonable, uncalled for, and unforgivable. What justification, if any, do they have for invading Manchuria and mercilessly killing hundreds of people? Now they have their sights set on China and after that who knows what. In a way you could relate it to Germany's current exploits in Europe. Both countries now have dictators, think with their military and less with their minds, and are forming small empires. For all I know Japan may just be looking to impress Germany and become allies with them.
Once again it seems like the League of Nations is doing nothing to help the problem, and in fact may just be making it worse. Europe is heading downhill and people are, and have been, worried that another war may soon be upon us. But unlike WW1 this time there is clearly at least one, if not more, noticeable enemies and Japan is assuming a position towards the top of a list.
