If Manchukuo decides to go down the 'Assertiveness' path, eventually they start a war to become independent from Japan. Second, the Manchurian War of Independence. As with real history, the Finns having inflicted massive casualties on the Soviets, but the Soviets having broken through their defences, they make peace with minor territorial concessions from the Finns. There are only 2 wars, as far as I know, in the entire game, that are not WW2, that are handled properly: First, the Winter War between the Soviets and the Finns. Republican Spain can't just push the Soviets out of eastern Iberia and force them to accept that they've lost their influence in that region, they have to march all the way to Moscow, and take over the entire U.S.S.R.

Should Monarchist Germany wish to regain Cameroon and Togo from the UK, it cannot simply start a regional war over those particular territories and push the UK out, forcing them to accept that they have lost those regions and seek peace they have to march to the Houses of Parliament themselves and conquer the entire British Empire! But the devs, especially in the alternate history paths, twist that for wars of a completely different and much more minor nature.

But it is also a fundamentally flawed game.
