I really don't like the wording in this video because it's almost impossible for Japan to surpass the US as a world power. Even though they have a bigger economy they still wouldn't be the strongest country on earth. And even after they surpass the US Japan will just fall behind again in the 2000s the US just has too much going for them. If Japan ever wants to surpass the US as a world power they will need more than their current land. They don't have enough resources, land, and people to even rival the US.

japan has alotta problems that're linked-up-to eachother, like Zaibatsu, Gerontocracy/Ageism, the way women are treated, the schoolsystem, their archconservatism and strictness, and maybe some others that ik of but I'm probably forgetting. People say alot that America should take somethings from Europe, in a way I agree but I'd also say: Japan should be more like America, and America should be more like Europe.

[@ImLure]

The biggest problem with Japan was that they had to devalue their currency at the pinnacle of their economy via the Plaza Accord in order to not overstep the US. Also at this time, we were already off the gold standard and in the debt standard, therefore if the Yen was at parity or greater than the USD, you as japan hold roughly 2-3% of US Debt and then half the value of currency, while also having a 100% tariff tax on your values as well as USD sanction taxes like the ones used on Russia in present day. Your debt just doubled, and now your economy has gone to shit because all the money people borrowed has now been doubled WITH interest. Now your central bank has to artificially keep treasury bonds low so that the government doesn’t default as well as devalue your currency even more to allow for more exporting goods which makes your country’s GDP look great but your domestic market suffers. This is the story of japan, and Germany as well in regards to what the US did.

[@patriot9487]

The US has so many resources I am sure we would be fine if we went isolationist, as long as it isn't complete and total North Korea style isolation. Sure, isolation isn't the best thing to do, but Canada and Mexico are still right there, and Latin America as a whole has a lot of resources. They're not that far away to not trade with. Yeah I do think that our economy would take a massive hit if all trade was ceased, but why is it unlikely or impossible for some other country, or likely, countries to take the place the US and its Navy had when it comes to trade? I would argue that isolationism is what made the US successful in the first place and our recent global entanglements have been horrible for us. If we pulled out of countries militarily it would be good for our budget since a good portion of our defense budget is spent on oversees bases, we could then spend that freed up money on infrastructure upgrades or something otherwise beneficially. Hell, I am sure we could halve our military budget if we were defending only the Homeland, given how the Second Amendment also exists. If the government forced large businesses who outsourced their jobs to third world countries, to employ Americans, on American soil, using American resources, and also forced them to pay their workers a better wage instead of taking massive bonuses; that will kickstart the revival of American industry, and if paired with massive infrastructure upgrades, it would likely be the very thing done to get America OUT of a economic depression. Let's not forget about how America is World Police and how isolation would completely change that. Cool scenario and great video but come on

[@patriot9487]

@@dankpuffalous6260 Well, there is more to talk bad about the United States than not. The very foundations of this country is wrong and backwards. Sure our country may have good rivers or ports, but that doesn't matter when we don't even take care of them. Our canals are deteriorating, as is the rest of our infrastructure. That arable farmland is very quickly reducing because of suburban sprawl and stupid zoning laws. And the United States has brought more death, chaos and destruction than another country in the last 70 years. You cannot seriously believe that the US has brought peace to the world, they haven't. We love fighting Israel's wars. Don't be delusional, the United States deserves all the flak it gets. That doesn't stop me from telling Europeans off when they make fun of the US; I think only Americans should talk bad about the US. However those same Europeans always bring up good points. We aren't even the freest country, by far, we're number 17. We could be so much better, in so many ways, but we're so hyper individualistic, we don't have the political will to do so. More Americans are leaving to live in other countries now than ever, because our country is rotting. I love America, but I'm not brainwashed.

That could have happened if both World Wars never happened, or if they happened, the UK came as a victor power in better shape than they did in our time line, as WWI and specially WWII really diminished it's power.

[@Destroyer4700]

For Japan to be a superpower it would need to follow the British model of colonisation (Which is actually what it tried to do from the 1910s until WW2 to mixed results). That would never have been sustainable anyway. Japan would have been better off if it had managed to keep the southern half of Sakhalin and the Kuril Island (Having an indigenous source of petroleum always helps). But geographical superiority of the North American landmasses versus the Japanese archipelago is just difficult surmount. The Japanese islands are just not suitable as a place to establish a superpower in all fields. A Naval superpower, yes, but not much else.

[@Marylandbrony]

While maybe more likely, I still think the scenario in the video is rather realistic. Although a full U.S stagnation is rather unlikely. It’s more akin to Japan and America switching lucking around the 1990s.

[@Emilechen]

Japan is a WWII loser under US military occupation and its loses definitely Koreas, Manchuria and Taiwan territories, so how can you expect Japan in the cases could become a superpower able to compete with US, it makes more sens if you make hypothesis that Japan won WWII and then becomes a superpower,

[@randommonkey4900]

they could've co existed just fine and have had a alliance against china and the like

[@idocohen853]

I could easily a scenario of Japan keeping an American level of GDP per capita, and also birthrates and a system of legal immigration into some extent. This means their GDP could be doubled and they would be much stronger. That's enough to make your scenario a bit realistic, but in the real world I don't see any need in American decline. The US would still thrive and trade with Japan, but it could be cool if the Japanese built up a huge navy, got diplomatically closer to South Korea (apologizing for previous occupation and everything) and established their version of NATO to defend South Korea and Taiwan, and also a similar thing to the EU, and then gradually expanded it to Vietnam, the Philippines and other areas of South East Asia. All of that would still make Japan far stronger and rellevant, and the American would just be happy to have a fellow liberal superpower that works for the exact goal of standing uo to China that is America's biggest issue today in foreign policy. A huge win-win for everyone except for Chinese nationalists losing hope to ever get Taiwan.

[@CevicheGato]

Well here’s a crazier alternate history. The earth is surrounded by 12 mini earths. And this pushes the main earth nations to make space programs and create space colonies. Nations with some corporate backings would get their pieces of pie for their host nations. The major imperial powers of earth: USA (with Canada, Mexico, Panama, Cuba, Jamaica, UK, and Australia) Europe (EU but it also contains outside nations like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and New Zealand) Soviet Union, China, and Japan (with parts of Southeast Asia under Japanese zaibatsu influence) Developing major nations: India. Brazil. Equatorial Africa. Hispanic America, Southern Africa. Israel. And the Middle East Major enemies: narco states. Mafia states. Terrorist states. Space Independence movements. Martian resistance. Neo communists. Eco terrorist. Woke cultist states. Anti woke states. Anti corporate states. Rogue corporate states. Aliens. Anything that aims for self sustainability and not giving tribute to their host nation.

[@serteshsardrakal2272]

I'd love discuss this with you since there are alot of hurdles unique to japan that it has to overcome and can overcome but in this video i very much doubt they would go about it in such a way. As an example for immigration there is the possibility the japanese corporations (most likely due to government pressure) might instead opt to bring in workers from usa, canada korea and europe instead of creating localized semi-autonomous branches trained by japanese employees. (I am really stretching for this but its one of the few ways i could see them allowing largescale immigration in any way.)

4:00 Honestly this is the ideal scenario. Japan avoids the lost decades, manages to successfully restructure it's economy and get rid of it's ghost companies etc etc, and remains a relevant but not overwhelming power in the world, allowing for other countries to also grow. It's birthrates decline much slower and it opens up for immigration like western europe did in the 90s and 2000s, allowing for it's population to decline less sharply and more sustainably. In my opinion, something like this could have happened if the Plaza Accords didn't happen, stopping the real estate bubble from forming.
