I don't want to downplay the acts of the Croatian and Bosniak Nazis because I know they were terrible and disgraced Croatia, but the Serb dominated Chetnik armies committed numerous atrocities as well - many of which go unmentioned to this day. The Chinese were also bullying their neighbours before the Japanese invasion.

Yeah, the Balkans are a cesspit of hatred. But the Serbs were opposed to Hitler and the Croats sided with him, so the Serbs got it. I'm not sure that the Chinese were bullying anyone, considering they were basically surrounded by USSR, Japan, and British possessions prior to WW 2.
