@carlsonem They have been led to believe they are the greatest nation in the world and they are just sharing their glory. 100 years of propaganda will ensure almost no opposition from within. People are fiercest about a war for independence, one of the reasons the US failed in Vietnam, but they will accept it and even support it if it benefits them. The WW2 benefitted the Germans initially as they were retaking territories that had been taken from them at the end of the First World War and were expanding to make Germany great again. The same is true with the fire nation. Even the British empire took over countries to "save" them, people in England still supported this with a passion.
