Most Nuked Countries in the World

Japan's involvement in World War II was a pivotal element in the conflict's dynamics, shaped by a combination of militaristic expansionism and geopolitical ambitions. The roots of Japan's aggression can be traced back to its desire for greater resources and territorial expansion, particularly in East Asia. This ambition led to the invasion of China in 1937 and subsequent territorial encroachments in Southeast Asia.

In 1941, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor marked a significant escalation, drawing the United States into the war. The strategic goal was to secure dominance over the Pacific, countering Western influences and acquiring vital resources. Initially successful, Japan's military campaigns resulted in the capture of numerous territories, including the Philippines and parts of Malaya.

However, the tide of the war shifted after pivotal battles, such as Midway in 1942, where Japan faced significant losses. The Allied forces gradually reclaimed territories, leading to a peace treaty.

Funny, but lots of deserts that belonged to nuclear powers in the middle of the 20th century got nuked quite a lot for testing purposes: The US tested in Nevada, New Mexico, Bikini, etc. France in Algeria, the USSR in what is now Kazakhstan I believe, the UK in Australia I think, etc, etc, etc.

this is vile. i love it.
