they were colonized by Baekje
This
The native japanese were jomon/aboriginal peoples
There is a reason why south korean and japanese (other than hokkaido) are nearly identical genetically to this day
They embraced whiteness and reaped the benefits
Because they didn't have shit worth invading for.
They didn't have resources, they didn't have a huge market, they weren't strategically situated. There was nothing special about them, there was just no incentive to try and take over Japan.
Main benefit they had was just a lot of people, which didn't really matter during the age of sail/colonial age. They and China also were able to resolve their political strife a century before the Europeans could seriously extend supply chains that far to really consider direct control of Asian lands as economically viable. If India had fallen into post-Mughal civil war a century earlier, and China/Japan had fallen into post-Ming/Sengoku Jidai infighting a century later it's very likely we would have seen a reversal in colonial fortunes between South and East Asia.
Rightful Baekje clay
>After the Portuguese first made contact with Japan in 1543, a large scale slave trade developed in which Portuguese purchased Japanese as slaves in Japan and sold them to various locations overseas, including Portugal itself, throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.[1][2]
>Many documents mention the large slave trade along with protests against the enslavement of Japanese. Hundreds of Japanese especially women were sold as slaves.[3] Japanese slaves are believed to be the first of their nation to end up in Europe, and the Portuguese purchased large numbers of Japanese slave girls to bring to Portugal for sexual purposes, as noted by the Church in 1555.
>King Sebastian feared that it was having a negative effect on Catholic evangelization since the slave trade in Japanese was growing to larger proportions, so he commanded that it be banned in 1571[4][5]
Guess that yellow fever has been around for a while.
Those two are twins, right?
>PortugueseCHADS getting Japanese dicky as far back as the 1500's
I kneel
I want to kiss their cute soft cheeks
>you will never have a harem of soft Japanese slave girls
This is fricking bullshit
Does this provide justification for the japanese/korean organized crime groups that enslave white european females by the millions over the past 50+ decades? Go to anything brothel (oh you can't because they only let local looking males in) and its all model tier white females prostitutes that are drugged out
Because colonization was always voluntary. You were lied to if you were told otherwise.
>Because colonization was always voluntary
Depends on the colonized country. Some went willingly, others resented their colonial masters
They were already colonized. Notice how they are no longer black and hairy.
They never were black and hairy
That's right brother, we was in Japan before them
I'm here to educate you on the real Asians, the first inhabitants of that continent. I'll begin with three historical figures of importance that the governments from East Asia are trying to cover up
First we have Emperor Ding Du, founder of the Chinese civilization. He and his Hou-mis (companions, compatriots) traveled from Africa to the Yangtze River area and made a great city, but the barbarians who lived in the outskirts overthrew them and stole their civilization, creating the Shang Dynasty
In Japan lived the great samurai Hiwasa Guboi. He was likely descended from the Hou-mis of the true China. He fought for So`yuu Biseyan from the great So`yuu clan but died a treacherous death at the hands of the Japanese
In Korea lived the great general Gim-mi Dat, who repelled successive invasions from the northern barbarians. When he died, the defenses broke, the "Asians" invaded the peninsula and genocided the first Koreans
Because all eyes were set on China.
Imagine how world-shattering it must've been for the japs at the time. You and everyone you know are still using bronze age tech, all the sudden some guy shows up on steel ships with a company of rifleman.
Japs had been trading with the Dutch for centuries
They closed their borders for centuries because of isolationist autism and fell into technological stagnation. Perry's arrival on warships spooked them so hard, it kicked off the Meiji Restoration.
Every European coooolonizer was dead set in having a spot in the China Market.
Japan was actually about to get colon'd themselves by Americans who were cucked out of a spot in China, but thankfully the Mutts started killing themselves in the 1860s.
>Tokugawa-sama I'm USA
Geography. Japan's geography makes it near impossible to successfully invade
They had iron weapoms and horsemen, organized armies also. A charge of samuarais was able to beat an army of guys who needed 1 minute to being able to shot again.
With their 9 gorillion times folded steelsabres right?
being irrelevant isolated shithole for centuries
Being organized and having a large population.
Americans weren't motivated by conquest like Europeans. Being the merchant race that they are, they were fine with Japan agreeing to open up and trade with them.
>americans were the only party interesting in japan
history began before the existence of burgerland.
Lol no it didn't.
