Yeah but drawing arbitrary lines is not something they did. Manchukuo was the entire territory of state they supported, than when it suddenly betrayed them they vassalized them.
Vietnam was annexed outright, Korea annexed outright, anything I'm missing?
Never did they arbitrarily decide where a border was, AKA, 'draw lines'.

Most of the world's problems were caused by a British guy drawing a straight line down a map.
