Sour Kraut [The Laughing Daiymo]

The Daiymo watches Kraut's Imperial Japan video and provides a bad response, saying that Japan couldn't have been a democracy because they were ruled by the emperor (I agree that Japan wasn't a democracy, but saying that it's because they had the emperor is idiotic, the emperor was a figurehead by the time of the Sino-Japanese war and even prior to that. And has Daiymo not heard of constitutional monarchies? The UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium, all have monarchs, that doesn't mean they're not liberal democracies), that Japan got screwed over in the Paris Conference over territorial concessions (Except that Japan actually got way more territory for how much they actually fought in the war, they got the South Seas Mandate AND Qingdao, which was supposed to go to China, since you know, it was Chinese and China was in the Entente, and by doing this causing China to completely withdraw from Versailles due to the May Fourth Movement. The part Japan lost on was the racial equality clause, which was way more significant in souring relations with the Western powers than any territorial disputes).
Other than those there are inane criticisms that are basically "That's not truu" with no additional context. It's not like Kraut's video is infallible, in fact that video series about Japan was pretty awful, probably because Kraut used political science books as sources instead of actual history books. But these criticisms (if you can even call them that) are even worse.
