text: Actually Xandoli I know Stalin was a tyrant.  But you are wrong in your statement.  It was the three big powers, the USA/Britain/USSR that met and divided up the countries for following the war....Britain took some and the USA as well as Russia, it was a negotiated agreement... and how despicable is that....   I am not an apologist I just try to work with facts/history that is not always written by the winner.....   But please tell me how I am wrong about Japan?
