But Japan's history is so easy to make fun of and make awesome.
I mean, how many nations have gone to war and had the enemy die in a tornado [Typhoon]. Twice!
Russia's history is pretty sad. TWO enemies tried to storm in and failed due to winter. Stalin pulled out everyone, citizens included, from Moscow when Germany invaded. They came into the capital city and it was empty, no people, no food. Germany just sat there and had to leave as winter came and lists thousands of men.
Napoleon tried to fight Russia too, and they employed the "scorch and burn" policy as they kept moving back, and France kept marching until they were caught with their pants down in the smack dab of winter...
