Change government??

[teruteru]

I'll be able to change, for example, Japan to democracy? Thanks

 

[PanosB3]

Yes, however it will be hard to change governments if you follow unhistorical ways/paths(example: Fascist USA/Democratic Germany)

Japan had elections in 1936, 1937 and 1942 so probably won't be too hard.

I think some countries will be easier than others.
France and Spain should be easy to change to any ideology.
US, UK, Germany should almost always trigger a civil war.

Spain also triggers a civil war, but to the OP, yes, you should be able to do so, however, we don't know (as far as I know) the national value of Japan, and they may thus have one that defends fascism (which is, partly against history, the ruling ideology of Japan), making it harder to push them to democracy...

Don't forget the Soviet's.

However, it seems easier across the board to make ANYTHING happen now in Hearts of Iron IV than Hearts of Iron III

Some countries have national spirits that make it harder for them to drift to an different ideology.

But japan is imperial, right? So dont have elections.

"Hey guys! I'm a country and I have elections. Can I join the democracy club?"

That's cute.

Well that pretty much was what it was like, but as consequence there were most certainly SOME Japanese people who were gullible enough that they, if push comes to shove, would fight for it if it somehow benefited them. It's not like the military staff in Kyoto really cared about what the Emperor had to say.

Yeah.

Yes, but why quote me?

What? They elect the lower house, then the lower house elect the PM just like in Britain

"Hey guys! I'm a country and I have elections. Can I join the democracy club?"

That's cute.

At that era if your voting right is not restricted by wealth or status, elect a parliament that can govern or dissolve the government, and has an unhealthy two-party flip-flop politics, then it's hard to say it's not a democracy.
