Reply to comment by KindheartednessIll97 in TIL of the less well known and earlier War in Vietnam (1945-1946), which was a military success. by VengefulMight

Indeed, Britain allied with Japan to fight off the Vietnam insurgency, just months after having been fighting them.

Britain had always been a reluctant enemy of Japan, there was far more closeness between the countries in culture (Britain had taught Japan's Navy and had been allies with Japan ever since the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905), than there was between the USA and Japan.
