Japan kinda was an imperialist power itching to conquer China. And in WW1 I cant consider the austrohungarians with their demands to serbia, the ottomans with their empire, or the germans trying to replace anglo-french imperial power as the good side.
Ultimately, the russian empire wasnt the side that started the war.
The enemy of your enemy isn’t necessarily your friend. You don’t need to apologize for the Tsar just because those they fought were also bad and so are modern people (this started with Zelenskyy). I’m just saying it’s not productive to debate lesser evils.
