The Japanese military planned an operation called “Cherry Blossoms and Night” which would have released bubonic plague-carrying fleas across California. Tests in China killed 200,000. After the war, the US agreed to grant immunity and cover up the project in exchange for access to the data.

Well, we all know the government along with the military have worked in order to do nasty things everywhere. This is an interesting case involving the Japanese military and the US.

Uh, Okay, here is a half-assed history of Japan that is surprisingly close to correct. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh5LY4Mz15o The more accurate histories of Japan are so f-ing boring that no one has even read them but we can definitely say that no country has ever emerged from a feudal to a full-on capitalist economy soo damn fast. Also in 1902 Japan kicked Russia's ass reeeeal good and after that people whispered to each other, "Watch out for Japan...and their women are like world-class." I know, I know, but you're going to have to take my (omnipotent) :) word on it. Now, where was I?

More available but you will have to beg for it.

Whoah. I am open to the possibility. Let us remain civil while I zhizzle my jizzle—I mean do some research. I've never heard that England helped Japan in the Russo-Japanese War but I'm open to the possibility. I am not trying to doxx you but having your opinion would probably limit your location to four or five countries in the world. I'm not asking you to tell us which one. If you can give any sources for your beliefs, that would help. Are you saying the operation was called Sakura to Yoru?

One thing I believe is true is that British Intelligence was active in Asia as far back as the 1800s and Russia was one potential enemy of England. It was called "the Great Game" by England and Rudyard Kipling, a Mason, was one possible agent. Kipling spent many years in India and possibly Nepal. (How many? I must check.) (This may be irrelevant to your beliefs.)
