No, I don't tend to think so.

I've always thought that too, but it seems to be a common conception among many people these days. Same with Finland, which certainly wasn't fascist.

I contend that Brits shouldn't have terminated their Alliance with Japan.

I agree.

Finland was a democracy victimized by the Soviet Union.

Pretty much. Though a relatively conservative/authoritarian democracy.

Ironic really... a democratic Axis nation fighting for it's own survival against an autocratic collectivised Allied nation.

How did Japan and Germany co-ordinate themselves, I mean how did Nazi Germany ensure that Japan was 'on-message' with their aims and objectives. Was there any high level contact b/w the 2 powers during the war?

Other than the Anti-Comintern Pact etc., not really. Shortly after Pearl Harbour, the Allies tried searching for joint German-Japanese plans, and I don't think they ever found any.

If the definition of Fascism is a dictatorship with a market economy (aka a right-wing dictatorship), then yes, Japan was Fascist between 1931 and 1945 (and even before 1931).

Fascism isn't pro-market. It's pro-corporatism.
