This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Thank you, that helps. Was conscription going on outside of Japan at the time?

Yeah. Again you have huge build ups in the Royal Italian Army, The Red Army, The French Army, the British Navy, The German Navy... Those are just off the top of my head. There is so, so much info on the interwar period. Historians are constantly looking at that time frame because it is immediately after the second industrial revolution, during a global depression, the first major attempt at world government... Incredible leaps in medical, aviation, industry,.. this terrifying rise of Fascism/nationalism with some really horrific pseudoscience beliefs attached. Pick a geographic area and just search "x area 1930s"
