Kaiser Wilhelm II liked to make outrageous speeches without getting advice beforehand. On 27 July 1900 he gave a speech to German troops about to set sail for China in order to help (together with other powers) to suppress the Boxer Rebellion. Towards the end he urged the men to be 'like the Huns' and to make sure that no Chinese would ever again 'dare to pull a face at a German'.

Was japan ever colonized?

Not in a strict literal sense. Japan was occupied by the United States militarily after WWII until the enactment of the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1952. The occupying forces did make many changes in Japan, including rewriting the constitution to renounce war, but this was not strictly an occupation. Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler of China, tried twice to invade Japan in 1274 and 1281, but both times his fleet was destroyed by a combination of bad luck, poor planning and bad weather. Both fleets were struck by powerful typhoon before they could establish a beachhead.

Was there a turn around in the Vietnam war?

The answer is probably dependent on who you ask, but I would not say so.

The Cold War was primarily between the United States and the Soviet Union, and although the Communist Vietnamese managed to take over the country, it really did not benefit the Soviet Union in any way. One of the first things the Vietnamese did was cut off ties with the Soviets and China.

The war certainly was a turning point for Vietnam, but the Vietnam War had little effect on the Cold War as a whole.

In my opinion, the most influential parts of the Cold War would be the Carter, Reagan, Bush presidencies, as the Soviet Union losing their influence in the Middle East was probably the most significant impact that they faced. The unification of Germany was also a major step.
