      when i saw the film with all the nations arriving at once i thought 'bosh' but it's realistic, there was a race tobe the first one in and different natinos attacked different gates to be the first, the japanese, eager to prove themselves attacks 2 knocking the russians one gate over, the British enter therefore by the 'water gate' they came in through the sewers but they would not have had bag pips. the white british troops were the Royal Welch Fusiliers.

      The Japanese truly are a unique nation, but my best guess would be its there code of military, although there fighting styles have changed with the modern times i dare say the Japanese still very much carry the old spirit of there forfathers of samurai and Samurai as basically Morden spartans.. the bravest of the brave
      Mad respect to Japan from Australia 🇦🇺❤️🇯🇵
      So the bow
      would represent a thank you for helping us live another day but they would not have expected help to arrive and would of died to the last no iffs or buts. As eberyone else after 55 days naturally would want to go home.. the Japanese may want to go home as well but they act like they are already dead (pretty sure the samurai way had a belief that dying in battle was considered the highest honour ) and thats why they are some of the bravest people i have met

      450 million taels of fine silver (around 18,000 tonnes, worth approx. US$333 million or £67 million at the exchange rates of the time) were to be paid as indemnity over a course of 39 years to the eight nations involved.
      The Chinese paid the indemnity in gold on a rising scale with a 4% interest charge until the debt was amortized on December 31, 1940. After 39 years, the amount was almost 1 billion taels (precisely 982,238,150), or ≈1,180,000,000 troy ounces (37,000 tonnes) at 1.2 ozt/tael.

    USMC, Royal Marines, French “Fusiliers Marins”, German and Austro-Hungarian “Seebatalion”, Imperial russian naval batallions and Japanese “Rikusentai”.
    Only exception were the Italian “Belisageri”, as they were not (to my knowledge) navy units.

      They got lucky with a mine four years later as the admiral of the Russian fleet started to be a serious danger, but then was blown up by a freak mine. Which collapsed the morale of the fleet, it would later be taken out with land artillery after the Japanese managed to take a hill over the port (after suffering immense casualties charging up it through barbed wire and machine gun fire in wave attacks for weeks).

There really are no significant good guys in most of earths history and efforts to blame other groups actions of the past only prevent own groups advancing and dealing with own culture damage.
      Irony without the Enlightenment of the last group of colonial nations slavery would still be considered fine and building colonial empires fine.

      It was, until McKinley announced the "open door" policy for China, an idea of NOT carving China up into colonies. I heard Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany was so pissed off about that he ordered invasion plans drawn up to invade the US mainland. The German general staff was aghast, but followed orders, hoping the Kaiser would cool off by the time they were done. When they presented the plans to him they were horrified when Wilhelm said something about "implementing them". The Germans started the preliminaries when the Kaiser came back from some sort of diplomatic thing in Europe. He had met US president Teddy Roosevelt and became buddies, hence the plans, to the relieve of the German high command, were shelved. Teddy ended up building up the US navy during his presidency, so those plans became unworkable.

    The Chinese paid the indemnity in gold on a rising scale with a 4% interest charge until the debt was amortized on December 31, 1940. After 39 years, the amount was almost 1 billion taels (precisely 982,238,150), or ≈1,180,000,000 troy ounces (37,000 tonnes) at 1.2 ozt/tael.

That professional army, as it happened, was almost entirely lost in the Tunisian surrender in May of 1943. The conscripts left behind in Sicily did not want to die for Mussolini and surrendered in droves. Sadly, some of the bravest Italians were those fighting the Germans in Italy in 1943 and 1944.
