It's unknown. Korea claimed a while back that they where alive, but knowning how communisim and monarchies mix, thats dubious at best. And yes, sorry for forgetting the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria.
Still, a peaceful Japan? If France couldn't keep Indochina for much longer after 1945, then Korea should really be strugelling against Japan.
Yeah, I find that claim Japan "peacefully" surrendered to not just Korea, but a COMMUNIST Korea very unlikely.
Especially with the monarchy thing. The US had the sense to know that removing the Emperor was a terrible idea: in the people's eyes the Emperor's supposed to be a God and Japan was fully willing to fight to the bitter end even after the bombings and the invasions if it weren't for the Emperor finally getting his act together and saying "no, we're done."
If Japan barely bowed for one of the two industrial superpowers in the world, who had the sense of allowing the monarchy to remain, then they'd most definitely not bow to the whims of not just a former colony and the upholder of an ideology they held in even more contempt then Western Imperialism who doesn't have nuclear weapons, but also one who dissolved the monarchy (and knowing North Korea, probably dissolved the monarch too).
I'm just sceptical I suppose. I'm always a bit sceptical whenever one guy decides to take a bunch of territory on a whim while not considering the ethnic and nationalist repercussions.
That perfectly sums up the scenario. Heck, by the 1950s I can gauaruntee there will be ethnic strife in France. It may not lead to indepence, but there certainly will be issues.
And yes Canada took Denmark and then gave it to me. But frankly Denmark was a) still in need of rebuilding, and b) not long after given to it's rightful Nordic/Scandinavian overlords. So while therec ould have been ethnic strife, Denmark wasn't French for long enough to cause all those issues.
