        Germany could pretty accurately be described as “Warring Tribes” until Bismark unified Germany in 1870. Doesn’t take that long for these things to change.

            LMAO 🤣 US occupation wasn’t about rebuilding them; if that’s what You believe

            Anyways, judging them or any other war torn nation is equivalent of judging homeless people and people who are mentally ill ; " it’s their fault, was their choice"
            It’s pathetic to say the least

            Today’s US isn’t the same US that existed during WWll btw… The country has changed drastically

        Japan didn’t have anything pre-WW1, it’s literally why in WW2 they had to invade China, there weren’t enough resources in Japan to establish an industrial base for their empire.

        And Germany wasn’t even unified until what, the 1870’s? Germany is technically a younger country than the U.S, same with Italy, it’s pure revisionism to say that European countries were ever united because they weren’t until WW1 when Ultra-Nationalism became the name of the game in geopolitics.

        I think you people are just legitimately uninformed about world history. The Afghans have the same thing going on for them, but Russia screwed it all up and created their divisions when they invaded
