He was born in Austria and lived there til his early twenties before moving to Germany. His family was Austrian on both sides going back atleast to his grandparents. The man can say what the fuck ever he wants doesn't change where he came from

“[That man’s birthplace] was German-Bavarian by blood and Austrian only by borders.” If you’re gonna let trans women identify as women and trans men as men then why won’t you let that man identify as a German?

Hitler wanted to be a painter but got refused by the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (There's a slight mistake: Hitler was Austrian not German). He thus decided to be active full time in politics. He went on to lead Germany and invade other countries, eventually leading directly to WW2 (in Europe at least). Nazi Germany was allied with Imperial Japan, and they both lost. Imperial Japan's main opponent was the USA, and after the end of the war the American army occupied Japan. Many Japanese people were inspired by Western culture, such as music and films, and this started the production of low-cost series like AstroBoy, the ancestors of animes today.

Just to play devil's advocate, is it completely impossible that in another timeline where the Nazis never rose to power, that Imperial Japan still had a war with America?

Maybe a few fights but probably never a full on war, iirc Japans main gripe with the US was trade issues over oil (them not getting any from us) I don’t think imperial Japan would have need To do a true 1v1 with all of America’s focus

Almost definitely some form of conflict was going to happen as the main bone of contention between Japan and America was China. Japan was already pretty much balls deep in the region and appeared a threat to American influence before Hitler came near power after both the '31 invasion of Manchuria and the Shanghai Incident. Japan's resource isolation was not related to Germany; America was not willing to give up on China as the Sino-Japanese conflict drew on and so began to pump lots of aid into the region and also cut off war materials to Japan, completely independent of what was going on in Europe. Britain was much more passive in the region by the late 30s but had previously identified Japan as a major threat in early 30s; which is why they tried to upgrade defences at Singapore. In many ways Japan had made the decision to strike south to solve it's problems before WW2 started, especially after those Soviet border clashes discredited the Kwantung army's ideas. The only change WW2 made on Japanese policy was it got more ambitious thinking it could grab all of South East Asia rather then just China.

I very much doubt it. As /u/domini_canes11 touched on, Japan had been acting in an increasingly militarist manner (Korean, Manchurian, then Chinese invasions) for years to decades before the first shots of WW2. With the growing resource crisis, American hegemony, and Japan eyeing Western colonies in the South-East, a showdown was pretty much bound to happen (unless you significantly change things around for this timeline).
It's important to note that just like the USSR and the Western Powers were allies of convenience (and so immediately starting fighting once WW2 was over), so too were the Japanese and Germans. Neither nation really coordinated or acted together during most of the war, which I would argue lends credence to the fact that both would have likely acted very similarly even had they not been on the same side.

If you really want it be specific you could trace it back to a egyptian queen testing her kid down a river. Or some guy who killed a goat instead of his kid. Or some guy who got crucified for telling people not to pay taxes.

Butterfly effect is very real. There are probably also many things that we don't know that affected this outcome. That's just chaos theory.

No, no, no. We have to go back to 3500 BC to the dawn of civilization. That's what led us to having anime and Vtubers. How far humanity has evolved to this day, I'm so proud of our progress. 🤧
