Who'd have though Japan could go from feudal nation to country trying to take over half the planet in a comparable time? (Or maybe less, my modern Japanese history is weak I'll admit).

The current crop of leaders may not be awe inspriing but if a week is a long time in politics 40 years is like a geological epoch.

Its fiction and there are plenty of precidents, its by far not the most outrageous leap in the timeline (though does it actually say Oz invaded, I couldn't find it in the glimpse of the time line I had this morning?).
