And the Japanese, too, sought to expand their agricultural holdings by, for instance, resettling farmers in Korea. So, while it's tempting to say that World War II was about the Allies fighting for democratic ideals against the totalitarian, militaristic imperialism of the fascist Axis powers, it just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. For instance, a hugely important Allied power, Stalin's Soviet Union, was, like, the least democratic place ever. Stan just said that was hyperbole, but it's not. Stalin's Soviet Union is tied with all of the other completely undemocratic countries for last place on the democracy scale. It's a big community there at last place, but they're definitely in there somewhere. And by far the biggest imperialists of the war were the British.
