There were two Vasa branches, from what I can reckon. Gustavus Adolphus is from the Swedish branch.I thought we were talking about the PLC branch?
Even better - Poland attacking soviets with Japan in 1930,when soviets do not have mass produced tanks yet and everybody there waited for salvation.‘Holodomor Becomes A Global News Story’.
*Glares at Walter Duranty and the New York Times for helping cover it up IOTL.*
China did not have oil. It was the Dutch East Indies that were targeted for oil. Siberia didn't have oil yet. That field was discovered after WWII. Sakhalin had oil, but I think it was in the part Japan already held.Even better - Poland attacking soviets with Japan in 1930,when soviets do not have mass produced tanks yet and everybody there waited for salvation.
Unfortunatelly - both ruling Sanacja and opposition was against it....
So,maybe only Japan? it stil would change History - Japan with Siberia have oil and do not need attacking China.
Could show to entire world soviet crimes,too.
Oil was in both parts, IIRC there was more of it in the Soviet part. Still, Japan had an agreement to exploit those fields and did so up to the early '40s.Sakhalin had oil, but I think it was in the part Japan already held.
Enough to not attack USA if they made sanction - but,in this TL,there would be no USA sanctions if Japan take Siberia in 1930 and showed mass graves there.China did not have oil.

Japan after that would not need any other conqests,all they need/minerals and place to settle/ would be there.
P.S according to what i read - Yakut people who live there look like japaneese,till they start talking.
Becouse both culture and language are different.
‘Rome And Carthage Remain On Friendly Terms’.
In other words, no Punic Wars or other flashpoints that embroil them in large-scale conflicts. In fact, while I doubt they’d be BFFs like the US and UK are, avoiding even Cold War or Great Game-style tensions that could still mushroom into outright warfare would be preferable.
Yup. Pee-pee waving to da maXXor.Japan didn't need conquests OTL in China. Its just that the predominant military culture in control thought they did.

The most profitable element of the British Empire was ... Latin America.
Japan could had done same in China - invest, support warlords promising stability, and rake in the dosh.
I take it that they lost the debate on policy ... hopefully without being "suicided" or something like that as a result ...There was a faction in Japan aiming to achieve this
Funny. Shrek was actually in production at the same time as Prince of Egypt, which is all the more interesting because Shrek was regarded by the studio as the less prestigious project. Apparently, being sent to work on Shrek was almost like being punished! Shrek then surprisingly became much more commercially successful than Prince of Egypt. This opportunity allowed Dreamworks studios to effectively rival Disney following the end of the so-called Disney Renaissance.‘No Shrek Movies’.
Rome and Carthage would sooner or later come into conflict, especially once Rome could interfere in Carthage's sphere of influence.‘Rome And Carthage Remain On Friendly Terms’.

I think if Shrek was not released, that would be bad for the Dreamworks studios unless those resources involved with Shrek were put to better use in a different project. Unfortunately, much of Dreamworks films around this time never matched Shrek in popularity until maybe Madagascar. Could Dreamworks have made an alternative film to take Shrek's place?
I don't know exactly where I first read about this. However a brief search on the Internet resulted in this article, as well as this and this. I wish I could find more "authoritative" sources, but these seem sufficient.An interesting prospect, so if you have any references you could direct me to on behind-the-scenes action and studio decision-making, please send them my way.
I figured. At any rate, though, there's nothing wrong with speculation on a possible path for Dreamworks.Other than that, I guess my interest was more in the run-off effects for meme culture. As you know, Shrek's one of Gen Z's favorite memes (and arguably for worse, at that). Seen in that light, I suppose my question was "half-frivolous", since a world without Shrek deification — while having few ramifications for the broader scope of history, save for the entertainment world — would make internet subcultures a more "mundane" place, I'm guessing.
