rabbit hole and came across this bit on Tojo. "In May 1942, reflecting his
hubris, Tojo approved of a set of "non-negotiable" demands to be presented when
the Allies sued for peace once it became clear to them that Japan was
invincible, under which Japan would keep everything it had already conquered,
and would take considerably more. Tojo wanted all of China to be under the rule
of the puppet Wang Jingwei, planned to buy Macau and East Timor from Portugal
and to create new puppet kingdoms in Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand
and Malaya. Tojo wanted Japan to annex Australia; Australian New Guinea;
British India (all of modern India, Pakistan and Bangladesh); Ceylon (modern
Sri Lanka); New Zealand; the Canadian province of British Columbia and the
Yukon Territory; the American state of Washington and the territories of Alaska
and Hawaii; and to take Ecuador, Colombia, Honduras, Panama, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, British Honduras, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and
the rest of the West Indies."
