Russia Just Invaded Ukraine

[Solkern]

Negotiation literally just means talking and working towards an agreement.

Allies: Surrender now or we will destroy your country.
Germany and Japan: Okay.

There you go. They negotiated. Just because Germany and Japan didn't get anything they wanted doesn't mean diplomacy wasn't used. Germany and Japan could have just as easily have said "No, we will fight to the last man."

No, it doesn’t. I don’t think you’re really understand? They did not negotiate with Germany whatsoever. They had zero discussions with Germany.

Germany said they did not negotiate the allies said they did not negotiate. But here you are saying that everyone else is wrong but you’re right. lol?

A negotiation is a process in which two or more parties with differing interests, needs, or goals communicate and bargain with each other to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

This is the definition of negotiation, it did not happen.

What you described was an ultimatum.
While an ultimatum can appear within a negotiation, but it is not a negotiation in itself. Here’s why:
Negotiation is about dialogue, exchange, and exploring options.

An ultimatum is more of a one-sided demand: “Do this, or else…” It leaves little to no room for discussion.

If they were in discussions when the allies issued an ultimatum as you described, you would be correct.

But they were not.
