How did Japan occupy China during WWII, when the US can't even occupy Vietnam?
I don't get something. How did Japan occupy such a large country like China during WWII? No one has enough troops to occupy a country that large.
Also, wouldn't Japan have easily lost in a ground war with China, since they would have been outnumbered thousands to one?
If Japan was able to occupy China that easily, then why couldn't the US occupy Vietnam during the Vietnam War?
I guess in Vietnam, the leader of the Vietcong kept moving around in secret, so there was no "king" to capture like in chess to force a surrender.
If so, then why didn't China play the same game and have their leader hide underground or move around in secret, so that Japan could never win?
