kicked the Japs out just to make sure of that.

Hmm. If the yanks had been neutral...
The Europeans would have been speaking Russian, the Japanese would
have been speaking Mandarin. We in the antipodes would still be happily
supplying the brits with thier subsidised butter and wool, what with no
european common market to interfere.

Meanwhile, South and Central America would be a nice place to live,
there'd be rather alot more South East Asians in the world, the middle
east would be ruled by proxy dictatorships (oh, that's right,
differences), and um...
