      While the WW2 comparisons are of course not perfect they’re still certainly interesting to make. Appeasement seems to have had very similar results. Both Germany and Japan also miscalculated when they thought the western powers would be willing to just sue for peace at certain points (Germany thought Britain would give up the fight and go for peace talks once France fell and Japan thought USA would if taking their occupied areas back would be costly enough).
