>>22404Loser chauvinists, chauvinists of the loser bloc
In the period preceding WW1 Germany was a loser (lost the colonial race), Ottomans were falling apart and Austria-Hungary faced huge disparity in development which dragged it down.
In the period preceding WW2 Japan presented itself as some kind of great protector of Asia from the evil Western imperialists. We all know the messaging was bullshit.
Some people fall for the messaging, others are upset their country isn't number one. Basically.
