@Ann Takamaki are actually you serious?? No shit you would expect fights to happen during war time but the japanese *agreed* on to make peace if they surrendered but instead they grouped and killed the surrendered soldiers like pigs in a butchering farm, breaking the promise and then targeted the vulnerable civilians...you have to consider that they also targeted every group of people that were not involved (kids, old people, pregnant women...). And also, beheading people because running out of resources and to workout?? Those were probably under their intentions but they were most likely minor because If you digged deeper into the topic i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to see that they did the competition merely for fun and entertainment, these people were indifferent about the lifes of the people they killed since the education and training they went through mainly focused on desensitizing them making them ruthless soldiers that would do anything for their country. Some people try to cover or even go their way to undermine the crimes done by these imperial japanese soldiers and that is beyond me.

@@anntakamaki1960 there are many things to say about that statement but i'm just going to point out that you need to know how to differentiate from the japanese imperial army and the modern japanese, certainly the society has changed a lot from that period of time but what's done is done, there shouldn't be any reason to direct hatred to the current japanese people but the very least the japanese goverment can do is to make official apologies for what their recent ancestors did. The nazis did repairement for the countries it caused damaged and atoned for themselves after what they did in ww2, but if you look at Japan the goverment tried to cover the attrocities and act as if they never happened or make it seem as if they weren't that bad, also not to mention a good part of military didn't receive punishment at all. So you tell me, wouldn't it be a bare minimum to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and offer some apologies as a country? The things that they did to innocent civilian were unecessarily evil that i wouldn't even be able to describe them all for you.

China has not forgotten

@@jswyman The Russian / Communist threat in Manchuria and Korea was taking center stage. The U.S. needed to make nice with Japan as a future ally and a host for U.S. bases. As a result, countless war criminals were given a pass - including Hirohito - or had their prison sentences greatly reduced or avoided the gallows. Very unfortunate in that many Japanese war criminals became notable business leaders and government officials after the war.

The fact Mao Zedong thanked the Japanese government for "enabling them to seize power" likely played a larger role in it.

@KatieM768 "Japan has not (gained forgiveness)" You should read more carefully before you shoot your mouth off.

John Rabe was not a nazi. Being German didnt make you a Nazi anymore than being American makes you a Trump supporter

Japan surrendered because with the soviets having defeated nazi germany, they now started to invade Japan and it was nothing Japan could do against them

nah the atomic bombing had nothing to do with it. Japan got away with war crimes because the US government led by Harry Truman wanted to recruit former Japanese war criminals so that they can learn their methods of torture, bio warfare etc. For example all the members of the infamous Unit 731 that committed horrible human experiments were all recruited by the US government and avoided capture. Truman is a real bastard and a disgrace to all those who gave their lives to fight these monsters and bring justice.

Nobody from unit 741 was tried or faced any form of justice. they were all pardoned

I don’t think it’s said enough that the bombs were also the fault of the Japanese government who prolonged the war in a desperate attempt to keep their own positions of power. Had they just surrendered when the war was lost, there would have been no need to kill tens of thousands of people with those bombs. They vaporized their own citizens.

Your country got away with murdering 50 million native americans. Maybe you should apologize first. Hypocrite.

So how is it possible that they massacred 300,000 Chinese in a city with a population of 200,000?? (Nanking PD Census 1937). Even more is that the safety zone was a real thing, so many Nanking residents fled there before and during the invasion making the city's population lower than 200,000, primary sources estimate it at 150,000 true population. Moreover, the population of Nanking in August 1945, when the Japanese left was 275,000....so it grew. Isn't this the opposite of a massacre?

The Japanese are also victims, while being criminals. There can be more than one criminal side. The Americans and the British have also committed international crimes. Especially the British. As an Indian I can confirm, they committed genocides.

Ever visited the memorial in Hiroshima or Nagasaki? No? I have. The Japanese public knows about what the Japanese did in World war 2. It may be not as much as westerners, who specifically researched this topic, but you might as well ask an American about the atrocities they committed against the Natives or in the Middle East and get the same answer.

Well, it's pretty messed up that the government and politicians don't bother teaching history properly. No wonder japanese kids today don't know a thing. And let's not mix up civilians with the military. Yeah, what went down in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was awful, but the Japanese government needs to own up to their past actions and take responsibility. It's on them for what happened in China, Korea, and elsewhere in Asia and also for the nukes they are 100% responsible for what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

One war crime doesn't negate the other. What happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war crimes as well.

@@anacardoso9822 Why? Because civilians died? Japan was told, in 1941, surrender unconditionally or risk destruction. The Japanese chose, from the start, to mobilize their entire population in service to its war machine. Civilians always die in war. So what is the crime exactly? If you want to say war is a crime, then fine, I may agree. But all sides practiced aerial bombardment of civilians in WW II as a tactic.

@@CascadiaCalvert Well, let me see if we are on the same page on anything. What do you think of the bombing of Dresden?

@@anacardoso9822 I think it arguably fits the definition of a war crime since it was considered an open city, i.e., one where refugees could flee. But my main contention is very simple -- do you consider the killing of civilians in war, prima facie, a war crime, or only under certain conditions?

@@pypy1986820 Chinese Will never support it on the 1st place 😂😂😂.

So? You do realize that China has enormous amount of resources and also that more people also means more Einsteins, Hubbles, Heisenbergs, etc..?

Are you seriously trying to justify this as population control? China is a huge country with tons of resources, there is more than enough room for everyone; years ago I took a train across the United States and there is thousands of miles of empty land. What causes poverty and limitation of resources is corrupt governments and greedy corporations. If you want to talk population control, then you can sacrifice yourself first.

What's your point

I think it's more about holding the systems which caused such atrocities accountable. Yes, our ancestors all once killed and did whatnot. But we’ve become a (mostly) civilized world today. How? By recognizing our wrongs and (mostly) pledging to avoid them… think sarin gas, cluster munitions, etc. America is largely aware of what happened in Vietnam or Guantanamo, and Germany educates its youth on what happened in Auschwitz. Of course, it’s not always so clear cut. France is grappling with its violent past in Algeria, and, pretty problematically, you find an uncomfortably “mixed bag” in Japan: some schools, citizens, and officials actively deny the events of Nanking, the usage of comfort women, or other war crimes that happened back then. That period in time is considered “shameful”; its discussion or acknowledgment is often treated as such. Look into the Japanese textbook controversies, or the Japanese government denying Nanking in 1990, or the mayor of Nagoya doing the same as recently as 2012. This is, unquestionably, a cause for concern, and it’s because of a lack of education and broader cultural accountability. This accountability isn’t just meant to be cathartic to the victims… above all, we’re seeking to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself. Any failure to educate people about the misdeeds of the systems and peoples before them is a threat to that effort. So, while nobody rational would recommend punishing the descendants of the perpetrators, it’s a reasonable thing to wish there was better accountability and more reflective dialogue about the more unsavory aspects of the Pacific Theatre.

@@kevintreehan4100 ‘unquestionably’ the Japanese did commit atrocities in WWII and the Japanese regime in spite of it’s pre/ mid-war achievements, shamed itself in such a way that they can’t talk about those achievements even today. No, instead they screwed up so badly that they mostly try to forget it ever happened and move on. Don’t misunderstand, I am not in support of warcrimes. What peeves me is that everyone who was responsible for Nanking massacre and every other atrocity committed by the Japanese in WWII is now dead, and long since punished. Even if they weren’t all tried, Japanese culture was so fanatical at that time that the sheer despair from defeat was more than most could bear, and many committed suicide. Up until the final defeat that followed soon after the atom bombs. So, now the question is. When is enough, enough? Both Germany and Japan are now our allies and ironically almost no one is a bigger supporter of Israel than Germany who is still making reparations to holocaust victims. And in a bizarre, yet unsurprising turn of events, some of our former allies in WWII are now our deadliest enemies. So, my question is when do we stop shaming people for genocides that their countries committed almost a century before they were even born? I think that there are much more constructive ways of remembering the victims, while also educating the rising generation without blaming them. Either way, we’d better wise up and figure out who our allies are and who they aren’t. start acting a little less hypocritical, because who is really guiltless that can judge others? No nation on earth, thats for sure.
