Yeah and I don’t remember the British or the Americans committing systematic rape and murder.

I assume you’re being sarcastic…but it’s not like Singapore and Hong Kong were particularly blessed after the Japanese ousted the white devils…

I was not being sarcastic. Human rights violator or not, the US and the UK never had systematic rape or murder. Can you name one incident? The US and UK never had their soldiers to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians and neither the US nor UK set up government sponsored rape houses.
Did Britain ever do anything like the Sook Ching massacre to Singapore? The Japanese killed more people in one weekend in Singapore than the British did in their entire colonial history, one quarter of the globe included.
How about the manila massacre? Did the Americans ever kill that many Filipinos? and Nanking makes those two like like minor incidents.

I’ve seen interviews with grizzled old Japanese vets and they mostly do admit that the Allies had much more respect for human life, their own to be sure but also that of the enemy and certainly native populations.. The bit about survivors writing history might’ve been true had the Japanese won but as it turned out in the western world history gets written by journalists and not governments, and none of what’s been written is disputable as far as I can tell (aside from the sparring about whether or not it was right to drop the nukes and the like) – instances of yellow journalism(which do clear up with time and a little hindsight) nonwithstanding.

Point taken.

Does you know?
For instance, Britain killed the king in Burma. Afterwards, Burma was made to bring Burma Chinese and the Indian and to be ruled.
Even the educational opportunity was deprived, it was ruled by man of another country, and the raw labor was forced on the Burman.
The majority of Indonesian people from whom it was deprived of the education were not able to read the character in the age of colonialization.
They were slaves engaged only in simple work.
The same rule was done, and a lot of lives were lost also in Vietnam and India and countries of a lot of other Asia.
The independence movement person was restrained, and isolated to a very bad accommodation place.
Black’s old slave etc. are similar.
It was repeated until the opposition force in the colony disappeared by suppression.
When the opposition force disappears and the public peace is steady, it seems to have been improved a little.
However, it was not permitted to participate in politics of course.
At that time, the nation of colored races to be independent without receiving the colonialization such as the United States and Britain was only a Japanese empire and Kingdom of Thailand.
Are the American and the British really innocent?
Was rule right?

It is said that the Japanese ruled Asia in the Pacific War.
It is true.
However, what is the thing that the Japanese left in Asia?
Is it only destruction and a slaughter?
No.
The school was established for the Asian.
It constructed a road, the bridge was built, and the railway track was constructed.
However, when the war ended, these facilities were destroyed by the United States and
Britain why.
Only 40 kilos only remain in Kingdom of Thailand now though the railway was constructed
415 kilos in the total length.

At that time, Secretary of State Cordell Hull in the United States said.
“Even if it is defeated at the war, Japan might leave the influence as a soldier
who liberates Asia. ”

The destruction of such facilities will be a thing to advertise the
justice in the union country.
Why did the union country destroy the road, the railway, and the school
that Japan had constructed in Asia?
Will you feel the doubt?

Do you know?
The U.S.Army landed on Japan when the Pacific War ended.
Then, do you know what occurred?
30,000 of record rape events to a Japanese woman by soldier the United States exist.
However, a woman at that time thought the character and conduct doing was done with men other than the husband in contradiction to ethics.
Therefore, there is an opinion that the figure of 30,000 is too fewer than an actual abortion number.
The abortion did and was illegal in Japan at that time in contradiction to ethics.
However, there were too a lot of rapes of soldier the United States and a lot of women who got pregnant were generated.
They had an abortion by an unlawful doctor and committed suicide feeling the death by the infectious disease, and the rape shame.
Because damage was too large, Japanese Government at that time legalized the abortion.
It made an effort to defend woman’s life even if ethics that had continued for hundreds of years were disregarded.
It is being called “Yuusei hogo hou” now.

It is said that a Japanese soldier raped in Asia.
However, the mixed blood with the Japanese hardly exists why.
It exists slightly.
However, it is called a case to fall in love with the person who marries the Japanese and the Japanese.
Why does not the mixed blood with the Japanese exist in Asia though there was damage, that is, 30,000 people by soldier United States’s rape in Japan?
Did a systematic rape by the Japanese exist really?
Isn’t it an advertisement of Allied Forces?
Or, after it had worn a safe when raping, did a Japanese soldier rape?

The request of the United States was received, and the South Korean
participated in the Vietnam war.
The number of soldiers of South Korea is 100,000 people.
Then, the South Korean raped, did Vietnamese people, and slaughtered
it.
As a result, 10,000 mixed bloods were born.
This becomes an object of public concern in Vietnam.
If the rape exists, it is natural that the child is born.

However, why does not the mixed blood with a Japanese soldier exist?

It hears it again.
Are the United States and Britain the justices?
Is a Japanese empire at that time axis of evil that should be really
hated?
Is the Asia rule lasting for 400 years by the United States and
Europe correct?

“Neither the United States nor Britain suppressed, did not rule, and
slaughtered it. ”
Can you say the same thing in front of Indonesia, Myanmar, and Asian’s
people?

Hello,Duo.
I can understand your thought. However, there is misunderstanding.
You said an excuse of a scholar of typical colony principles. But the Europe and the American Asian rule were different from Japan.

Do you know it?

In 1941, Japan ruled Korea and Taiwan and Manchurian in China. Korea and Taiwan took the Japanese rule, and 40 passed then, too. Japan developed the heavy industries in Korea and Taiwan during 40 years. The Japanese government built a large-sized factory in Asia, and the world’s greatest hydroelectric power station was established in those days by Korea, too.

Where world the country which developed the heavy industries in a colony || there is not it.
It is only Japan.

High education is necessary to administer the heavy industries. Japan gave a Korean and a Taiwanese education the same as a Japanese. Therefore the Asian was able to administer the heavy industries.

In addition, they had franchise. In an electoral district of Japanese Tokyo, two Diet members of a Korean are elected. Administrative important work was given. There was an Asian promoted to a lieutenant general of Japanese empire Army. There is the soldier who received the best decoration. This fact was written down for an official record as well as the news.

Will this be a colony and the same thing which Europe and U.S.A. insist on?
Was the Indian able to run for a Diet member in the U.K.?
Was the Filipino able to become an officer named a lieutenant general in U.S.A.?

The Asian may have been a slave for an American, but Asia was a countryman for Japan. Therefore the heavy industries developed it and gave high education and accepted franchise.
Will this be a colony?
I cannot think so.
Japan and Asia were equal in those days.

Unfortunately such a fact is known in neither Europe nor U.S.A.
On the contrary, I do not know most of the facts because even a Japanese took postwar masochistic education.
If a Japanese is cruel, it is publicized.
I am very sad.

Thank you for response,John Thacker.

I do not intend to support aggression. Japan and Germany surely caused war. The war generated much sacrifice. It is a fact.

I’m sorry.
I cannot understand English well.
If I make a wrong remark, I apologize.

I am lacking in study about war done between Burma and the Kingdom of Thailand.
However, do you accept that the U.K. made Burma a colony?

Please imagine it in your situation.
Your country fought against a neighboring country. Russia occupied your country then in cooperation with a neighboring country. Russia brought a Chinese in your country and let only Chinese rule over inhabitants of your country which occupied the majority. You were robbed of an opportunity, franchise to take property, education, and you were to finish life by simple labor.
When such situation occurred, can you bear it?
A thing the same as this occurred in Burma.

It is a problem of the two countries that the Kingdom of Thailand fought against Burma, and it is not a British problem.
I cannot think that it is justified by the reason of Burma and Thai war.

Explanation gets longer about China and a Korean anti-Japan action.
However, do you trust an autocracy of communism and which democratic national remark?
Of course a communist country house is China and Korea. China is a nation killing 100,000,000 citizens of own country. China still invades Tibet. Besides, I hide it from a citizen of own country and agitate for an anti-Japan action. Korea is similar, too.

The Chinese government insists that 300,000 Chinese were killed in Nanjing great slaughter.

However, a group of foreigners who consisted of the European who stayed in Nanjing of those days reports population of Nanjing of those days with 200000 people. It is written down to a demand book when I requested food so that they protect Chinese refugees. Besides, when they investigated population one month after Nanjing occupation later, tens of thousands of people increase. This is not one-sided announcement of the Japanese armed forces. It is a report by the European who fought against Japan. This European writes that there was murder by a Japanese soldier. However, it was only the testimony that I heard from another person not what I watched by oneself. The European who was able to act freely in a small area such as Nanjing city never witnesses the killing spot. Said and witnessed killing once precisely. However, it was legal execution of a criminal. 300,000 bodies occur if they kill 300,000 human beings. However, the body would disappear where? A large quantity of bodies are not yet discovered. There is the testimony that I killed. However, there is not the person who looked at the place that buried the body at all for some reason. Did you burn it till you could write gasoline and completely became ash? A large quantity of gasoline should be necessary to completely make 300,000 bodies ash. Old Japan force which hardly had a truck would recruit you how? The Chinese government shows a large quantity of photographs as evidence of slaughter. However, it is proved that it has no weight of the evidence. The thing that the photographed time was more before it than Nanjing occupation. The thing which the equipment of the Japanese armed forces is wrong, and is completely a forgery. Though it is the depth of winters at the time of Nanjing occupation, the Japanese soldier who wore summer clothes is a thing coming out. A photograph appearing in Rape of Nanking which iris Chan wrote is similar. A photograph is a forgery, and it is proved that there is not weight of the evidence. Even if it is assumed that a killed human being was several thousand people, it will be difficult to cover the body with only period. If there were facilities such as Auschwitz, Nanjing was battle front somehow. There is tragedy for war. There would be the some violence and murder. I cannot doubt it. However, would there be really the organized slaughter?

A Korean woman was taken. The Korea government insists that a Korean woman was raped systematically.

However, testimony of the raped woman is strange. It is testimony of a certain woman. “I was taken at the age of 13 years old. I was raped in Indonesia by a Japanese soldier partner. A period is seven years. I was raped on the weekend by 100 people. “This is testimony of a woman of Chon-Soun. She died at 80 years old in 2004. Do not you feel doubt to see this? It is 80 years old in 2004. In other words she was born in 1924. It is 1937 at the age of 13 years old. However, it is 1941 that the Japanese armed forces make a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and caused war. It is 1942 that it struck Indonesia. I insist that she was taken to Indonesia for 1937 years, but a calculation does not match.
A woman of other rape victims does another testimony. Testimony of a woman of Fan-Kumju is individual. In “938, I was taken to 12 years old, Manchurian, and I was raped. “This which I am taken in a year of the” “Singapore fall that I am taken in” “1927 that I am taken at” “19 years old that I am taken at the age of 17 years old in” “1939, and was raped, and was raped, and was raped, and was raped (1944) is all Fan-Kumju and testimony of saying one woman. Can you believe their testimony? There is such a testimony in large quantities. However, the Korea government and mass communication insist on this with evidence and criticize Japan. It is the case that happened in Korea recently. A Korean fraud was arrested in Korea. He said to an old woman. Because I can receive money of compensation from the “Japan government, pay a request rate to me. “He who could receive money of a large amount of compensation if I did so it cheated an old man out of money. However, when it investigated the old man who paid the request charges, as for 80%, it became clear to be the false victim who quite had nothing to do with Japan. There is not the evidence that is a rape victim to remaining 20% either. It is a story of the old woman whom it depended on because it can receive money of compensation. It was reported that the film which photographed a cruel act of the Japanese armed forces was discovered just one week ago in Korea. However, as a result of having inspected it, as for the film, it is recognized that it was an anti-Japan propaganda movie made in China. Of course it is a fiction movie. Such a case occurs routinely in Korea. And an anti-Japan action intensifies if Japan is bad.

As for these Chinese and the Korean action, Japanese cannot do understanding.
China is an autocracy of communism.
South Korea is democratic, but it is the country which now the influence is strong, and stay in a clearly military autocracy 20 years ago.

Do you believe their claim?

Mercy read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_war_atrocities

“the Japanese slaughtered as many as 30 million Filipinos, Malays, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Indonesians and Burmese, at least 23 million of them ethnic Chinese”

Mercy if you read sites like this you can see lists of Japanese war crimes. Compare that to the 500 year history of the US and the European colonisation that lead to the US. Even considering that the US is a famously aggressive and war-like nation, that has conquered nearly every piece of land it now occupies, and considering it is the only nation to have ever used atomic weapons, and considering it is the only nation (other than the UK) on Earth fight a war on every single populated continent, they have still killed fewer people in 500 years than the Japanese managed to do in less than 50 years at the beginning of the last century. Even considering Nazi Germany, no conquering nation has ever massacred foreign civilians and POWs like Japan has and no nation has been less apologetic about this fact. The proof is in the pudding: the nations you mentioned that the British and the US harmed have great relationships with them now. None of the nations that the Japanese brutally occupied have positive relationships with them, and only the Philipines has even a neutral relationship. (Of course Taiwan was never brutalised as the others were).

Dear Andrew.

You write that the Japanese armed forces slaughtered 30000000 people.
However, is it not to have had doubt toward the number? U.S.A. cast an atom bomb in Hiroshima and killed 140000 people. 215 atom bombs are necessary if they will kill 30000000 people. As for what kill 30000000 people, a number only for it is necessary for even the atom bomb which had the destructive power that す is strong because it is terrible work. Besides, the weapon of the Japanese armed forces was old. A main weapon is a rifle and a bayonet of a single-fire. How do you kill 30000000 people in spite of being the American armed forces and fight? And where did their dead body disappear?

Of course I know that there was a crime by some Japanese soldiers. It is left in an official record. I do not have mind to deny it at all. There was surely the crime. It was the crime that we should have hated. However, I cannot understand that it is said that there was a crime though there is not evidence. If there is a crime, evidence is left. If there is not a crime, evidence is not left. It will be extremely difficult that I hide evidence if there is great slaughter. However, a dead body is not found. There are not most of the children of mixed racial origins to a lot of testimony of a victim of a rape so that there is it. Why?

I watched Wiki. A different thing is written as a fact obviously.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nanjing_ditch.jpg
For example, this photograph is a typical propaganda photograph.
A Japanese soldier appearing in a photograph is different from a uniform of a Japanese soldier of those days. Positions of a rank chapter are different. Directions of a belt are different. It is only an officer that wear boots in the Japanese armed forces, but there is not the sword which an officer has by all means. (the sword was mounted the left of a waist with.) Shape of a helmet is different. A part called liner at the back of the head comes out, but this does not crop out because it is fixed with a helmet of the Japanese armed forces.

There are a lot of similar propaganda photographs, and scientific inspection is believed with there not being it. Why do all of you believe that it was forged clearly with a propaganda photograph becoming clear? A photograph of a dead body is shocking. But there is the evidence that they show the truth nowhere. Who photographed this photograph? Where was this photograph photographed? When was this photograph photographed? What was this photograph photographed for the purpose of? Does not the truth pass out of sight when confused by a shock?

Are not you confused by the government and propaganda such as China?
Do you believe that really truly mass communication and the government show?
Have you never had doubt after being born?

There was surely the crime.
But were not there a lot of false accusations like a Palauan example, too?
The crime that there was accepts it.
However, the false accusation that there is not evidence is not accepted.
My grandfather was killed in action in Asia.
They who smile in a photograph cannot believe evaluation to be a criminal entirely.
I want to follow their dignity.

Mercy,

Perhaps it is a good time to point out that while maybe Japanese are law abiding people amongst themselves, when your ancestors decided to go on a colonial adventure they were not so kind to the other nations they conquered. You do a disservice to your nation by trying to make excuses. The people of the world, including the victims of your past imperial policies, would respect your nation far more if it just admitted the truth.

It is difficult to imagine that all these people from all these countries are telling lies to make your country look bad. Maybe some of the numbers are not correct, but terrible things happened. Your constant comparisons to the actions of other nations sound like a child, the complaints of a spoiled child that is. Everybody knows that the people of your country did terrible things, except for maybe the people that live in your country because many were never exposed to it and have a hard time believing it or even just accepting that you own people were capable of doing such things.

But bite the bullet and accept it. No matter how many contributions your nation made to other Asian countries, the terrible atrocities that were committed undermine all of it. Travel to some of those countries and talk to the people that experienced what your soldiers did and then ask them to their face why they are telling lies if you don’t believe them.

Give it a try.

Dear Mercy,

As you might not be eager to accept historical facts from foreign (wetsern) sources, you might be interested in stories coming from the Japanese veterans themseleves: http://www.geocities.com/nankingatrocities/Confession/confession_02.htm .
