Blackpool :

then Japan would be beaten by the USSR

🧒Caleb🐻 :

Why would they attack the Soviets?? The only things that are even slightly valuable are Vladivostok and north Sakhalin.

Alyosha Karamazov :

Japan would lose. By 1941, their army were already overstretched. Their Kwantung Army was elite but designed for short offensive and not prolonged war, something USSR was very good at. Soviet forces also had superior armoured forces and artillery which gave them the edge to defeat Japan and historically, Stalin kept Substantial forces in the far east consisted of thousands of tanks and aircrafts and 700,000-1,000,000 Men. Their logistics doesn't help much either. But it depends on when the attack is launched, before Barbarossa, During or After that depends. The most likely outcome is defeat and failure. At least this is from my point of perspective, if there's any flaw in it please let me know.

☦️_Lomidze_☦️ :

they couldn't because after the U.S put an oil embargo on them, they had around 2 months left of oil. so they chose to attack Dutch east indies for quick resources rather then going into siberia with almost no oil supplies.

Erok ☭ :

USSR cooked Japan in khalkin gol battle therefore Japan ducked to face with Soviets due to most of main forces being in east rather than west

☀️🏔️ :

it could be so bad for japanese, how japanese didn't have enough anti tank to destroy modern Soviet tanks ,even Germans have problem with Soviet kv series tanks it would so bad

Javier Hernandez :

did Hitler was know about it before the attack??

jay😑✝️ :

So much worse for Japan Stalin doesn’t need to the defend the east at all and if they (which is worse for Japan). They likely don’t push or make any significant games and on the eastern front. Nothing changes, even if we wanna say on a maximus scenario. Germany some how captures Moscow, which is unrealistic because your supply lines were so stretched. They still don’t win that war they get pushed back. They’re not winning in the east just because Japan attacked some Siberian wasteland.

Mp :

If they did, the Russians would basically force the Japanese to not fight and put their army on stretched supply lines. Overall logistics would make even the thought of advancing into Siberia a nightmare

Jake :

Ah yes as if the Chinese front wasnt big enough already. And what happens when they go into the Russian Territory? there is nothing for thousands of km

Nishchal Mahato :

it can disrupt American logistical support to the Soviet union through the Pacific.

AKKAD :

Timbo :

dann müsste die sowjetunion ihre Armee teilen und das hätte Deutschland ein Vorteil geben können

sheinbarcelona :

theyd lose soviets either would peace out with the japanese after capturing manchuria mengjiang and korea leaving the empire back on the island or somehow soviets invade the mainland and get an japanese puppet which would change east asian geopolitics alot

𖣂 :

1939?

🇧🇬 Цеката 🇧🇬 :

Japan is brave nation with strong population ! I love them 🇧🇬❤️🇯🇵

Макс :

it's an impossible way cause Japan had not enough troops to fight against China

aryan :

two axis powers actually going into the war would had been interesting, you got germany launching the barb, and japan on the other side, i think ussr would had been delayed at deploying since japan had a range of soldiers whos as dedicated as ussr armies (they'd get gulag if they ran skull) in all front basically, great if to think about tbh and theres Italy whos probably js watching? Skull, maybe giving soldiers at best

Jr :

Omg I’ve never thought of that

Shabaz Malik :

if japan attacked the soviets in 1942 i think the chances of wining would be way higher

seva.great :

Japan just couldn't make it without resources of allies and Philippines, plus Soviets will cook them HARDLY in ground battles, maybe they will take Vladivostok and Soviets will make defense line near Irkutsk or Chita

Ryoku Muteki :

They tried but lost at Khalkhin Gol

Ist_rian :

There wasnt really anything to gain out of it, the most they could do is take vladivostok and distract the soviets. The Germans might actually succeed, but japan wouldnt get oil

Just a Wanderer :

cardboard tanks vs KV-1 and T-34

Gio :

japan also lost war with soviets in 1939 over river in mongolia
