Description

Lore:

Allies gathered in Shanghai (Truman, Stalin, Churchill, Shidehara) where they divided China between them: Stalin would gain Northern China, the Western Allies would gain Southern China and Japan would gain Manchuria and Fujian. They would agree on a division of the former capital city, Nanjing, as well, and also turn Shanghai into an international concession, under the future United Nation's control: in the end, Shanghai would be an international territory with strict rules based on the future charter of the UN.

Meanwhile, Britain would gain Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan and strengthen its control on these territories, while regaining Hong Kong again after Chinese invasion.

Colonies controlled and conquered by Chinese would return to their owners, but at this stage, the colonies aren't even on Western's hands: militias in Indochina and Dutch Indies are already turning their territories into a giant battlefield with Europeans ; India's independence was already negotiated, as well as Philippines. The main reason is the failure of the Western powers to counter a non-Western power, proving that the West isn't invincible.

Most of all, Japan is shown being a new opponent of the West, whom many countries decided to align (Afghanistan, Manchuria, Taiwan...). Many countries and colonies never hid their preferrence to the Empire of the Rising Sun and are hurried to be part of a shield against the West.

Also, as a reward for their active participation and as an apology to this country, Japan made Korea (as well as other Japanese dominions) completely independent and free to be neutral.
