Anyway, there was no Japan in RA and there was no Japan in RA2.
...
Japan was never mentioned, no, but that's only because they
never entered TGWWII.
If they'd entered the war, attacked Russia, something, they would have been mentioned. But they didn't.
But, there was nothing to prevent Pearl Harbor, Japan needed natural resources and wanted America to back off.
So, it's safe to assume something happened between America & Japan in the '40s.
Plus, it explains why America wasn't part of RA1. Yeah, the Allies' vehicles are American-designed (M1 Abrams Medium Tank, M2 Bradley Light Tank, GP light vehicle, AH64 Longbow), but America isn't a playable army, nor is it ever mentioned in RA, they must have exausted forces in the war against Japan. (Iwo Jima was one of the bloodiest battles America has fought in, comparable to, I believe, Gettysburg in the Civil War.)
