Japan's victory in the early stage of the Pacific War became the first major victory of an Asian over a European power in modern times. Japan, on behalf of Asia, declared the self-improvement attitude of Asians in front of the Western powers and broke the image of conquerors of European and American powers in Asia, which has great nationalist significance. But, after all, it does not represent the side of justice. Perhaps, because of this, God arranged a small turning point in the course of history, so that the war launched by Japan ultimately failed.
