The Imperial Japanese Army was established in 1930, when the emperor at the time, Hiroshio, decided to form an active military corps. They fought at Marco Polo bridge, with them now advancing into Guangdong and Nanjing in about 30 days. They got the British and European colonies and Australia in 1947. They were briefly interrupted by the Javanese Insurgency of 1957, but they had stamped out rebellion. Then, the Germans attacked. They took Guangzhou and Guangdong in 10 days, but the Japanese pushed them back to Sinkiang and joined the OFN in 1975
