[TW: Again, this includes the Axis powers, but doesn't mention the events of WW2, but rather some of the events leading up to it]

UN: Same plan as last time?
*NATO, EU, ASEAN and FBI nod*
J.E: *appears* WHA-
*The four tie her down, while UN, watches nervously*
UN: Hello, Japanese Empire...
J.E: ...You're League of Nations' son, aren't you? And this is the old meeting room...
UN: Yes... and I have a question for you.
J.E: ...Fine, go ahead.
UN: Why did you join the Axis?
J.E: During WW1, I was allied to the Entente powes: Russian Empire, France, UK, etc.. I had an alliance to the British Empire, which was established some years before the Great War. However, after WW1, I wanted equal rights within our treaty... I wanted to be seen as human... but British Empire refused... That hurt me a lot...
UN: So the alliance broke?
J.E: So the alliance broke. T.R offered me the equal rights that I'd been refused, so I wasn't about to say no to him, was I?!
NATO: Interesting...
EU: I suppose that makes sense...
ASEAN: That's about the only reasonable thing you did in WW2...
UN: Thank you, J.E. You may now leave. *teleports her away to Hell*
