Every major combatant in WW2 had an interservice rivalry of some sort, but the interservice rivalry in Japan between the IJN and IJA seemed to be leagues worse than their military contemporaries, having a debilitating effect on the Japanese war effort. For example, they introduced in 1939 the A6M Zero and the Ki-43 Oscar fighters with essentially the same performance characteristics.

In the 1930s, the Army (or at least part of the Army) picked a fight with the Soviet Union without telling the Navy. Japan also controls the puppet states of Manchukuo and Mengkukuo. Fun fact, the V1 / V2 was already ready before the historical date, the problem was that the army and the luftwaffe were fighting over who had to go to control this weapon and this thing lasted 6 months / 1 year, imagine if the V1 / v2 rain on london 6 months / 1 year earlier having more time, they can also produce the V3 You must log in or register to reply here.

Katsura was again tapped as prime minister and the Navy tried to pull the same stunt, refusing to appoint a navy minister unless they got some new battleships. The Navy, by contrast, had a large number of officers from the former Satsuma han in southern Kyushu. Of course, the army didnt tell the navy what it was doing in China. So, a "balanced" rivalry becomes "army strengthened" after the first pro army choice and becomes "balanced" again when choosing the navy next. Caught in the middle of the budgetary crossfire, many civilian leaders balked at the prospect of higher taxes and diverting money away from things like railroads, but they were increasingly powerless to slow higher military spending.

When did the US military officially adopt tank names? As far as enemy opposition is concerned, the colonial nations are usually not very well defended so Japan's starting military power alone should be sufficient to capture the colonies if one acts fast enough. Both of these countries are located in Northern China and are quite lackluster in terms of industry and military. Just south of Japan lies Indonesia and Indochina.
