Prince Yasuhiko Asaka the eighth son of Prince Kuni Asahiko and the court lady Tsunoda Sugako, was born on 20 October 1887 in Kyoto, Japan.
Asaka’s father, Prince Kuni Asahiko was the youngest prince descended from Fushimi-no-miya, which was one of the four branch houses of the imperial dynasty entitled to provide a successor to the throne. Prince Kuni Asahiko was the father of at least eighteen children - nine sons and nine daughters - by at least five different court ladies.

I always found it strange that for their evils, Nazis are pursued to this day but the Japanese largely got away with their crimes.

Spot on! The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Batan Death March, etc. are forgotten. Only the use of atomic bombs is remembered. (My dad was on a troop transport en route to the USA after fighting in France and Germany when Japan surrendered. He probably would have been killed if we had been forced to invade Japan itself.)

I feel like they aren’t as documented and hard to prove… not much info on exactly how these things happened and when…. Idk but maybe because of Japan’s location and culture? It’s hard to say

I agree with you 100%. To this day the Japanese do not teach their war crimes in school. Most Japanese don’t even know about their vicious crimes during WWII. Let’s not forget what Japanese soldiers did to captured US soldiers including women.

Compared to the Nazis, Emperor Hirohito and Prince Yasuhiko got a pass for their evil war crimes. They always talk about the evil of Hitler and Stalin but seem to forget what Emperor Hirohito has done! Unbelievable American Douglas McArthur gave immunity for their crimes to Prince Yashuhiko and their imperial families. Thanks for the upload.

The Japanese were allowed to get away with the most horrendous war crimes. They never apologized. Never owed any responsibility. And till today they don't teach any of the war period in school. But they do teach the Nazi era...go figure. Their intense cruelty matched or perhaps worse the Nazi's Personally, I still don't respect or like the Japanese. The healing can only come AFTER genuine apologies. The Emperor who abdicated made an half hearted attempt, but it was personal (I respect him for that) and NOT supported by the government.

Japan got mineral rights in Manchuria after the Russo Japanese war which included rail rights. In 1931, the Japanese military created a false flag attack along a section of the railway and claimed that was why they needed to bring much more military to Manchuria.

If you're talking about the pronunciation of 'Nanjing' well, it's complicated. Because the Chinese written language is not phonetically based, it has to be 'transliterated'. Essentially meaning pronunciation is 'estimated', or guessed at, when converting to the Latin alphabet. It's kind of like a game of 'telephone', the initial pronunciation is subject to many different native accents and dialects. Then the Latin equivalents go thru many versions and estimations, both written and pronounced. The capital of China was first transliterated into English as _Peking_ and it stayed that until well after WWII. It was eventually changed to _Nanking_ and most recently to _Nanjing._ It is what it is, an English pronunciation of a native Chinese proper noun. It does *NOT* imply any colonial imperialism, it's just the nature of translating two languages that have absolutely no common root whatsoever. English is not a Romance language, not based on Latin, but more on Germanic roots. Yet we call the country _Germany_ based on its Latin name _Germania,_ not _Deutschland._

See, this is typical Japanese class A criminal government brainwashing, still refusing to apologize and feel sorry for their atrocities, and is crying “banzai” (hooray in Japanese), glorifying war atrocities. This is what is so pervasive in Japan these days, no repentance, still worshiping class A criminals in Yasukuni Shrine as national heroes. And people think “Japan has changed and became peaceful”. Japan is as “peace” as a prisoner locked behind bars. Japan isn’t peaceful. It just can have armies. But with the gaslighting and USA helping them, they are slowly creeping out again pretending “we are under threat from China” to re-arm themselves. The same way USA keeps selling weapons and military bases with the fake news “China is a threat and Russia is a threat”.

In the Korean war Chinese soldier's charged very heroically directly into artillery fire machine guns barley clothed in freezing temperatures to push the Americans all the way back but they basically surrendered with out a fight in the face of total brutal annihilation and atrocities against the Japanese smh

The Japanese were awful in WW2. Maybe worse than the Germans. Idk how so many people can be so cruel…. It blows my mind why they’d all be so horrific to innocent people. I get they didn’t see them as innocent but to slaughter kids along side their parents…. It’s about as bad as it gets. Japan has a dark, dark history.
