read the entire page please.

I see no reason why Japan would have gotten into a major war with the Soviets they easily could have during most of the war but they did not neither did the soviets declare war against Japan until they new they would win after both atomic bombs ask yourself why neither side went to war with each other until the very end.

Russia is so vast Japanese aircraft would not have been able to reach the regions of the Soviet Union had its factories they where not stupid they realized the Neutrality Pact aka Non-Aggression Pact might fall through with Japan at anytime and there are not very many large Soviet cities very close to Japan anyway only Vladivostok at that time so there is very little for the Japanese Navy to have done along the Russian coastline.Further more the Soviet Union always had the numerical advantage they had very poor leadership at the top and through out most of their officer corps early thanks to Stalin's purges(heck of a guy you just had to get know him) in the war and the Germans fought better against an a first poorly motivated,poorly trained enemy.

Japan did not do so well in the small border war against the Soviet Union called Khalkhin Go in 1939 so they felt like avoiding conflict with them at least for several years was wise.This was very helpful to the Soviet Union because in meant that they did not have to consume much manpower defending from Japanese attack.

The Japanese Army was not **** they where actually pretty good extremely aggressive fighters look at Singapore they where outnumbered I believe 5 to 1 by British and Common Wealth troops yet they took over rapidly the entire peninsula with acceptable casualties.The same can be said about the Philippines in 41,42 though the US and Filipino troops where able to delay the Japanese victory for months.

Next taking all non-US controlled areas in the Pacific would not have worked when the Japanese had no way to prevent the US government to consider attacks on Brit and Dutch colonies an obvious threat to our own. There is not an easy way to get around the European and United States strongly disliking the idea of Japan wanting any territory in the Pacific they did not already have after WWI.

Sorry but your theory sounds pretty unsound and not based on much factual data.
