Asia:
Japan fought against the whites who were enslaving Asia for hundreds of years, not against the natives. What do you think the whites were doing in Asia?
Charity?
There were only about 60 countries in the world at the time, of which only 10 non-white countries were not yet colonized by the whites, and the figure was decreasing. Japan was the last country in Asia remaining totally independent, and within several years of the War all the countries were freed.
Who do you think formed and trained their armies in Asian countries, which fought against the West when they came back to recolonize after the WWII?
You think the Asians were holding US guns or Japanese guns?
Or, do the guns grow on trees?
For example, today, some 3,000 Japanese lay buried with decorations in Kalibata Heroes Cemetery in Jakarta, Indonesia. Everybody in Indonesia including those in the first subsequent independent Government and Army like the first President Sukarno, Hatta, Bun Tomo, Aramasa, Sanpas, etc. were holding Japanese guns and fighting with the Japanese.

Greater East Asia Conference:
On November 5th and 6th, 1943, the first Greater East Asia Conference was held in Tokyo, Japan in which seven Asian countries participated: Japan (Prime Minister Tojo); Republic of China (Wang Jingwei); Manchuko (Prime Minister Zhang Jinghui); Republic of Philippine (President José Paciano Laurel); Burma (Prime Minister of Independent Burma); Thailand (Wan Waithayakon, the Prince of Thailand); India (Chandra Bose, the military legend for the independence of India, and representing the Provisional Government of Free India).
Note that Japan participated as Japan, not as the Empire of Japan, because after the War when order is restored, Japan was going to disband the empire.
This is the first international meeting held by non-white nations and the Greater East Asian Joint Declaration was unanimously adopted:
1. The countries of Greater East Asia through mutual co-operation will ensure the stability of their region and construct an order of common prosperity and well-being based upon justice.
2. The countries of Greater East Asia will ensure the fraternity of nations in their region, by respecting one another’s sovereignty and independence and practicing mutual assistance and amity.
3. The countries of Greater East Asia by respecting one another’s traditions and developing the creative faculties of each race, will enhance the culture and civilization of Greater East Asia.
4. The countries of Greater East Asia will endeavour to accelerate their economic development through close co-operation upon a basis of reciprocity and to promote thereby the general prosperity of their region.
5. The countries of Greater East Asia will cultivate friendly relations with all the countries of the world, and work for the abolition of racial discrimination, the promotion of cultural intercourse and the opening of resources throughout the world, and contribute thereby to the progress of mankind.
The significance of this declaration was that for the first time in the human history, the equality of countries as well as the abolition of racial discrimination were adopted.
After the French Revolution in the 18th century France, the human rights were declared for the first time in the human history, challenging the order ruled by royal families. But against this new order, Coalition Wars were waged by military alliances of old order countries. Even though France lost the wars in the end, the spirits of human rights prevailed, and all European countries subsequently adopted democracy.
Likewise, it was Japan that proposed for the first time in human history the abolition of all racial discrimination to the League of Nations in 1919 in an attempt to end the white colonization and enslavement that lasted for hundreds of years. This proposal was rejected by the US, and soon anti-Japan encircling net was formed. Even though Japan lost the War in the end, the spirits prevailed, and within several years of the War, all the Asian countries gained independence, followed by African countries.
To erase this fact from written history, and to record Japan as an aggressor, the US banned Japan to use this word, the Greater East Asia War, in academies, education and media; burned more books than Hitler did; and rewrote the history as Churchill proudly said “History is written by the victor."
This censorship still continues today.

Comments by Leaders of South East Asian Countries:
Malaysia
"If Japan was to be blamed, what about the responsibilities of the West which continued that inhumane domination and exploitation of us?”
- Mahathir Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia
"When the Japanese army marched into the Malay Peninsula, we all let out a whoop of joy. And when we saw the retreating British army, I shivered as if I had never experienced before. The Japanese removed all the Western forces that had been colonizing Asia for such a long time. We had almost given up our hope but the Japanese gave us the sensation and confidence.”
- Ungku Abdul Aziz, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Malaya in Malaysia
India
"The Japanese did nothing to us that they have to apologize for. This is the reason that we will not attend the San Francisco Pease Conference, and refuse to sign on its Peace Treaty.”
- Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, in his speech addressed to the Indian National Diet in 1951
"For the independence of India, our army will fight through with the Japanese friends.”
- Subhas Chandra Bose, a legendary figure in India’s independence who fought against the British
Burma
"There is no country that contributed more to Asia than Japan did. And there is no country that is more misunderstood than Japan is. It was the Japanese who freed us from the white domination. The true friend of Independent Burma was General Tojo and Japan.”
- Ba Maw, Prime Minister of Burma (an activist for independence)
"The training in the Imperial Japanese Army was so harsh that I almost committed suicide. However, when we saw the fall of Rangoon, we became convinced that what we had been doing was right.”
- Aung San (father of AungSan SuuKyi), the legendary figure of Burma independence who fled to Japan with 30 other soulmates to train in the Imperial Japanese Army to gain independence of Burma from the British
Indonesia
"The reason that Indonesia was able to win its independence from Netherland was that the same colored Asian nation of Japan had fought that much, and that gave us the confidence that we could do the same.”
- Sukarno, 1st Prime Minister of Indonesia
"That war was really our war. We should have fought it ourselves. But we put everything on the Japan’s shoulders, and that plunged her into an almost total destruction. I’m sorry.”
- Bung Tomo, Minister of Information of Indonesia and an Indonesian military leader against Netherland
Philippine
"The Japanese proved their lofty spirits and ideals by eventually abolishing its military government to authorize the establishment of the Republic of Philippine. The Japanese sincerely honored all of its pledges and manifestos by providing us the opportunity to establish a country of our own cultures and traditions, and with constitutions set up by our citizens.”
- F. B. Vargas, Philippine Ambassador to Japan
Sri Lanka
"Why does Asia want Japan to be free again? It is because Japan was the only country that Asia could trust. We should never forget how the people of Asia, who hoped for their independence, find sympathy with the Japanese ideal.”
- Junius Jayewardene, Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, at the San FranciscoPeace Conference (1951)
Thailand
"Asia gained independence because of Japan. Japan, who acted as our mother, bore babies of Asian countries but destructed her maternal body. Who made us talk equally with the West today? It is because of the mother, Japan, who almost killed herself to give the birth. We should never forget December 8.”
- Seni Pramo, Prime Minister of Thailand

Atomic Bombs:
Truman knew ABombs were never needed to end the War. They were nothing but horrendous human experiments. The former KKK member was thinking Japanese as beasts, and this played a big role in his decision as shown below:
(1) In September 1944, FDR met Churchill in Hyde Park, New York, and made the Hyde Park Agreement, in which both agreed that if the US succeeds in the ABomb development, it would be used on Japan, and not on Germany.
(2) Following the surrender of Nazi Germany on May 7, 1945, Churchill kept on urging Truman to hold the Potsdam meeting to end the WWII as soon as possible. However, Truman kept on postponing it until the first ABomb test day on July 16, 1945. The Potsdam meeting was scheduled to be held on the following day, July 17.
(3) On May 8, 1945, US summoned Japan to accept “unconditional surrender.” (The idea of unconditional surrender was a FDR’s idea, and was first mentioned at Casablanca Conference on January 24, 1943.)
(4) However, the “unconditional surrender” is a term used for an army but not for a country. It has no definition in the International Law, and under the Law of War, “unconditional surrender” in the sense used before the modern period could never be established legally in the 20th century. Thus the term bewildered not only Japan but everyone else including US law philosophers, US generals like Eisenhower, or even Churchill.
(5) Joseph Grew, the former ambassador to Japan suggested from his experiences to Truman on May 28, 1945 that if the US agrees to keep the Emperor, Japan would surrender immediately.
(6) Pursuant to the Quebec Agreement (August 19, 1943), which imposed restrictions on US’s use of atomic bombs without prior consent by Britain, Truman requested Churchill at the beginning of June 1945 to sign in consent to use of ABombs on Japan. Churchill signed on this agreement “Operational Use of Tube Alloys” on July 1. Note that neither FDR nor Truman had never asked Britain for the same consent for Germany.
(7) Stimson agreed to Grew's idea and proposed it to the President on June 16, 1945. MacArthur also wrote that the Japanese would fight til the last person if the US would not promise to preserve the Emperor. Later, only Byrnes, who newly came to the office on July 3, 1945 disagreed and opposed.
(8) The Imperial Council of Military Leaders in Japan passed a resolution to negotiate terms of surrender through Soviet on June 22, 1945, without any knowledge of the US ABombs. The US found Japan started this negotiation in the same month of June 1945, and Omar Bradley, first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the US Army, reported to Truman after the Battle of Okinawa that Japan was in effect defeated and that it was trying to negotiate the terms of surrender. MacArthur also said to the General Staff Office that the War is over.
(9) Six out of all the seven Five Star Generals were against the use of ABombs with a view that Japan would surrender without them.
(against: MacArthur, Eisenhower, Marshal, Arnold, Nimitz, Leahy)

China:
It is the Han Chinese that attacked Japan first.
Japan first got that part of Manchuria from Russia, not from China. The Han Chinese had never ruled Manchuria in their history. Never. Also they hate the Hans. When Qing fell, ROC asked Manchuria, Inner Mongol, Uighur, and Tibet to join. But they all refused.
In case you did not know, even though they boast about their five thousand year history, China was first united only less than three thousand years ago, and it was not by the Han Chinese. Since then, China was united for two of the three thousand years, and the Han Chinese only ruled for a total of six hundred years during the Former Han, the Latter Han and Ming. Other dynasties were established by other races, so Manchuria, Mongol, Uighur and Tibet were never ruled by the Han Chinese.
Before the 20th century, China was the name of the land, not of a country: there were just different dynasties or country of different races occupying the land called “China."
Even though you may think Panda are Chinese, they were always Tibetan's and never belonged to the Han Chinese in history. The Whites are brainwashed and fooled by the Han Chinese.

Manchurian Incident
Manchuria:
Historically the people in the northern part of China were always militarily stronger than the Han Chinese as they were good at riding horses. That is why the southern Chinese built the Great Wall of China. Manchuria was never ruled by the Han Chinese, and it was a land of Manchurians (Jurchens) or their relatives like Mongols. Though the Han Chinese were allowed into the land towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, this region was one of the least populated area in today’s China.
However, though as simple as it seems, the issue surrounding the region was so complex that even the Lytton’s report said that the complication is unparalleled like none in the world, and that nobody is entitle to judge anything unless fully aware of the situation.
The Great Game:
The Great Game came eastward all the way to the Far East. They even fought Crimean War in Kamchatka Peninsula. As such, for the Japanese in Edo Era, Russians were the biggest threat, appearing in Hokkaido every now and then and at one point taking over Tsushima. Even after the Meiji Restoration, with Nicholai II calling himself the Commodore of the Pacific, they were always eager to expand into the Pacific Ocean.
Russia had Vladivostok, but its port freezes during the winter. That is why they had set an eye to the Yellow Sea and Liaodong Peninsula where there are some good ports at which today’s North Sea Fleet of People's Liberation Army Navy is stationed.
Thus Russians led the Triple Intervention so that Japan had to return the peninsula which they obtained after the Sino-Japan War. But soon after the return, of course Russia bribed their way to buy rights from Qing for the Chinese Eastern Railway to the Peninsula. The British and the US were concerned about this since if it connects to the Trans-Siberian Railway as planned to be completed in 1904, the Soviet’s advantage in material transportation to the Far East could change the balance of power in the region, handing over Soviet the mastery of sea in the Pacific.
That is why Russo-Japan War broke out in 1904 with the help of the British and the US. That is why the southern part of the Chinese Eastern Railway was taken by the Japanese in the Treaty of Portsmouth with the mediation by the US.
Development of Manchu:
So Japan took Liaodong Peninsula. But Manchuria at the time was nothing but rugged deserted land just like the western US with poor soil short in phosphor and freezes during winter. Even Dalian was nothing as the Manchurians were land people. Russian started this city (that is why the name Dalian is a part of Russian name meaning Far East) for a few years but it was Japan that developed the entire city. As you can see some photos in internet, the city was just like Shanghai developed by the Sassoon. In the first year alone, Japan invested an equal amount to its national budget.
Japan then developed a new-type soybeans, Manchurian soybeans, that could grow on this poor and cold soil, and started running farms in other parts of Manchuria by leasing and buying lands and hiring locals. Japan could have cultivated lands by machines, but instead it hired locals purposely so they could become well off, too. The export of the Manchurian Soybeans to Europe subsequently grew rapidly and Manchuria become the world’s biggest exporter of soybeans that accounted for over 50% of its total export. Soybean oil was first developed here too. Soybeans were grown throughout the region, and within 20 years, the desert of Manchuria became a prosperous green farm land.
Japan also developed other agricultural products like wheat but they also developed heavy industries like steel, coal, electricity, petroleum, automobile, airplanes, among other things by investing a huge amount of money.
Manchuria became a rich land from nothing.
The Incident:
Then all of sudden, the Han Chinese started saying it is all theirs and Japan has to go home leaving everything behind for free.
On January 1, 1912, ROC established itself following the Xinhan Revolution in 1911. Then Qing Dynasty fell in the following month. But no non-Han Chinese regions, Manchuria, Inner Mongol, Uighur or Tibet wanted to join, and with countless wars and plunders among Kuomintang, CCP, many warlords, bandits were going on, the place was in total turmoil like today’s Syria. As all Japan’s contracts were made with the Qing Dynasty and because there was no Manchurian government, Japan formed new contracts with ROC of Yuan Shikai.
However, the Han Chinese started saying this new contract was invalid. Behind this was the Comintern too. Right from the beginning, the Comintern targeted Japan for the following reasons: Japan had monarch; Japan won the Russo-Japan War; Japan intervened Soviet’s revolution in Siberia with the British and others; Soviet wanted Manchuria also. Not only blatant breaches of the agreements such as death penalties on people leasing lands to Japanese were imposed, crimes like destructions of railways, factories, facilities, and mines, and burglaries were being reported more than ten thousand cases a year. In the name of “Revolution,” they did anything to get Japanese out of the place.
Although Japan did not originally have its army in Manchuria like Soviet did, they could not maintain the safety and order, and had to station Kwantung Army in 1919. Incidentally, Kwantung literally means the east of a barrier, specifically meaning the east of the barrier where Great Wall touches Bohai Sea. So by definition, Kwantung Army was not mean to cross the Great Wall.
However, crimes and harassment kept on increasing, and in the end, the Manchurian Incident broke out. It was not a cause, but it was a result of what happened in the previous 15 years.
Helen Mears, a US historian and an author of “Mirrors of America: Japan” says in her book that Japan can sue ROC with the information collected in the Lytton’s report; the armed force that Japan used in the Incident was no more than other country used for retaliations against China’s crimes and threats. A US diplomat in China, John Van Antwerp MacMurray, says in his book “How the Peace was Lost” that Japan kept all international treaties and it was ROC that broke them, and because US did not treat Japan equally on this matter, it became unbearable for the Japanese. Also another US diplomat Ralph Townsend wrote in his book, “Ways That Are Dark: The Truth About China,” that Japan did what we had been thinking we should do; every foreigners in the Far East was on the Japan’s side; everyone scornfully laughed at Stimson who criticized Japan on this; but because newspaper did not report the truth, anti-Japan sentiment grew in the US.
Behind all this in Manchuria was Zhang Xueliang who was later found to be a member of Kuomintang, and Timperley was already in China, so of course all the lies were being spread out. But the Incident was not even against the International Law.
Manchukuo:
One day Puyi, China’s last emperor, escaped into the Japanese Embassy from the Forbidden City, where he was confined after being dethroned. He asked for help. The Han Chinese was keeping him to make it look as if Manchuria belong to ROC. But with all his ancestor graves being destroyed and all the treasures stolen, Puyi really became sick of the Han Chinese and demanded to go back to Manchuria as an emperor. Since then some 700 representatives of Manchurians, Mongols, Koreans, youth, and other groups living in Manchuria got together in Fengtian and decided to found Manchukuo.
So the Machukuo was established with the help of the Japanese government but all of its ministers and politicians were Manchurians. And with the return of the emperor, all the robbers, bulgars and the like got together under him, and soon the order was restored in Manchuria.
Some people call it a puppet state. But if this was a puppet state, what about all the Latin American and Caribbean countries of the time supported by US? What about Hawaii? What about India supported by the British? The truth is that it was a country all Manchurian wanted and welcomed.
After the War in Tokyo Trial, Puyi testified that he did not want to be an emperor and the whole thing was forced by the Japanese. But at the time he was kept in Soviet’s concentration camp; escorted by Soviet’s soldiers; and was taken back to the camp. He later wrote in his memoir that he hid the truth in the Tokyo Trial. Also in “Twilight in the Forbidden City” written by Reginald F. Johnston, a Puyi’s personal teacher, Johnston says that Puyi wanted to found his own country. This is a first class primary source evidence.
Lytton’s report:
Right or left, and Great Powers or Japanese, they more or less all agree that the report written by the Lytton Commission was thorough and good, but except for its conclusion. The report literally says that just about everything Japan said is right, and respects all its rights in Manchuria. But in its conclusions, it suggests the Manchukuo to be under the control of the League of Nations.
Of course, the League of Nations was heavily controlled by the Great Powers and the members of Lytton Commission were all commanders of European countries, so in a way, this conclusion was understandable. But for the Japanese it was not acceptable. At the time, the Japanese politicians were pacifists and the Kwantung Army was aggressive. But it was really the media that fueled the whole thing everyday.
One of the communists and a Soviet spy arrested in the Sorge Incident was a Japanese journalist, Hotsumi Ozaki, at the leading newspaper company, Asahi Shinbun, who was executed in jail. He was also a brain to the Prime Minister Konoe, but previously he stationed in China as an analyst of Asahi for the Manchurian Railway.

Marco-Polo Bridge Incident:
If the name of your game is truth rather than propaganda, you should look into what the Comintern and CCP were doing behind all this.
On July 25, 1935, at the 7th Comintern meeting, they decided to target Japan in Asia, especially the Japanese troops in China. In the following month, CCP announced "August 1 Declaration” and started acting against Japan. Their objective was to pit Japan against Kuomintang so both gets exhausted for a later communist revolution, and this is why they released Chang-kai Shek in December 1936, whom they captured in the Xi'an Incident.
Upon release by CCP after talking with Zhou Enlai, Chang-kai Shek returned to Nanking, and soon changed Kuomintang’s fundamental policies as follows: one, abandoning the unification policy of China; two, concluding a cease-fire with CCP; three, replacing pro-Japan high-rank officers in Kuomintang (Chang-kai Shek himself was first pro-Japan as he studied abroad in Japan for several years); four, preparing for a war against Japan by raising funds from overseas including millions of dollars from Stalin.
Then the Marco-Polo Bridge Incident happened in July 7,1937. Chinese blame Japan shot first while Japanese blamed the Chinese. But as decided before, it was the top priority for CCP to make Japan fight against Kuomintang while there was no incentive for Japan for this, and actually Japan did have a command not to aggress into China.
However, a cease-fire agreement was soon reached between Kuomintang and Japan. But immediately after that, a series of many provocative incidents by Chinese happened again in succession including Dahongmen Incident on July 13, whereby four Japanese soldiers were killed; Tungchow mutiny on July 29, whereby 223 Japanese civilians were tortured and massacred in the most cruelest way; Oyama Incident on August 9, whereby a Japanese first lieutenant Oyama was assassinated.
If you google some photos of Tungchow mutiny, you will see most cruel Chinese traditional methods of killing people, and they are the same methods as the ones used in what they call “Nanking Massacre.”
But Japan did not still retaliate.
Then finally on August 13, Chang-kai Shek attacked the Japanese Settlement in Shanghai with 50,000 Kuomintang soldiers, and this triggered Japan to fight back.

The Han Chinese:
The Han Chinese are the only people in the world who kept on invading after the War.
In their entire history, they had never conquered or ruled Tibet, Uighur, Inner Mongol and Manchuria. But after the WWII, they invaded all of the above, as well as Korea and Vietnam.
Look at Manchuria and Inner Mongol. The people who were against the Han Chinese were all butchered and the land is almost entirely occupied by the Han Chinese.
Look at Tibet. There was no Han Chinese in the region after the WWII but now the Han Chinese account for more than 30%. They killed, forced women to marry with Han Chinese men, forced sterilization to Tibetan married couples. All the temples have been destructed except for a few with a big photo of Mao before Buddha.
Look at Uighur. I am sure you heard a news that more than one million people are in concentration camps. Not only that, the Han Chinese sent Uighur men to other parts of China so they cannot marry to Uighur women. They ban their language, destroy their cultures, religions, you name it. And they are happening right at this moment.
Soon, there will be no more Tibetans or Uighur.
All this is happening because the Great Powers made Lytton report to write that Manchuria is a part of ROC for their benefit. Because of this big lie, nobody can deny the claim by the Han Chinese on Tibet, Uighur and Inner Mongol; Nixon and Kissinger were made to swallow One China Policy by Mao; their issues became internal issues of “China”; and any local oppositions become terrorists.

Nanking Massacre:
All the evidences for the Nanking Massacre were fabricated by the Kuomintang’s Publicity Section for raising funds in US; used after the War by GHQ and US for Tokyo Trial and WGIP to record Japan as the aggressor and to lessen the guilt for the dropping of atomic bombs; and today exploited in CCP’s propaganda as a weapon to break up the ties among US, Japan, Taiwan and other US allies for their military expansion into the Pacific and Indian Ocean. China is spending 10 billion dollars for these issues in UN, US, Japan and other US allies annually since the modern history is a source of government legitimacy, territorial rights, national security, military advantage, economical profits.
If you are confident, show your primary source evidence that convinced you that this fabrication is in fact a true story. So far all I saw from the people like yourself are: photos of so-called "Japanese soldiers" wearing look alike outfits made in China, which were fabricated by the Publicity Section of Kuomintang to raise funds in US through Chang-kai Shek's wife, Mei-soon Lin; hearsay from Kuomintang like the diary of Rabe who admitted that he did not see any civilian massacre, and thus did not testify at Tokyo Trial nor his diary was used in it; news distributed to the world mainly through an Australian journalist, Harold John Timperley, who was revealed by Kuomintang's documents in Taiwan in 2015 to be one of their five chief agents, and was responsible as the head of the London Brunch of Kuomintang’s Publicity Section regularly receiving money. Timperley wrote the famoust book "What War Means: The Japanese Terror in China,” which first spread this fabrication to the Western world but he later refused to testify at the Tokyo Trial.
The head of the International Publicity Section of Kuomintang, Zeng Xubai, later admitted in his autobiography that they paid Tmeperley and Smythe to write two books to propagate Nanking Massacre to overseas and the books achieved their goals.
Also, all the confessions from Japanese veterans, which were presented by CCP and registered in UNESCO as evidences for the massacre in China, were made by members of a communist group called Chukiren. All of them, without an exception. They were brainwashed by CCP during their captivities. The CCP's objective was to use them as activists in order to emotionally separate Japanese citizens from the government by brainwashing the Japanese how bad Japan behaved during the War, for a later communist revolution in Japan that the CCP was planning.
GHQ cooperated with this CCP's plan through the Japan’s Communist Party for their War Guilt Information Program, and the document for the operation was declassified in 2014 by The National Archives United Kingdom, TNA, in England under the name, Norman File KV2/3261, after a Canadian diplomat in charge, Egerton Herbert Norman, who committed suicide when he was suspected as a communist spy.
Before the Japanese Army marched into Nanking, the International Committee for Nanking Safety Zone, for which Rabe was the leader, notified them where the Safety Zone was, and subsequently sent a latter of appreciation to the Army for not bombing it. The population of the city as counted by the Committee before the Japanese entry was about 200,000, much less than the CCP’s claim for a massacre of 300,000, and the number increased to about 250,000 in the following months because the Chinese civilians who escaped to outside of the city returned once they found that it was safe. It was the CCP and Kuomintang who were killing the civilians, and they were the ones that civilians were scared of.
That is why tens of western media journalists who were in Nanking or along the way to the city from Shanghai at the time never reported any civilian massacre by the Japanese Army.

Atomic Bombs:
The Atomic bombs were never needed for the Japanese to surrender and US knew it. But still they used them as human experiments. This is clearly shown in the following sequence of events:
(1) After Nazi surrendered on May 7, 1945, Churchill kept on pushing Truman to hold Potsdam meeting immediately in a hope to end the WWII as soon as possible. However, Truman kept on postponing it until the first test of the ABomb on July 16, 1945. The first Potsdam meeting was postponed until July 17.
(2) On May 8, US summoned Japan to accept “unconditional surrender."
(3) However, the "Unconditional surrender” that Truman strongly insisted, is a military term used for an army and not for a country. It has no definition in the International Law, and thus bewildered not only Japan but everyone else including US law philosophers, US generals like Eisenhower, or even Churchill.
(4) US found that Japan started negotiating to surrender through Soviet in June 1941, to which MacArthur said to the General Staff Office that the War is over. The resolution for starting to negotiate the terms of surrender through Soviet was passed on June 22, 1945 in Japan WITHOUT atomic bombs.
(5) Joseph Grew, the former ambassador to Japan, knew from his experiences and suggested to Truman on May 28, 1945 that if US agreed to keep the Emperor, Japan would surrender immediately.
(6) Both Eisenhower and Stimson agreed to Grew's idea and to proposed it to the President on July 20, 1945. MacArthur also wrote that the Japanese would fight til the last person if US would not promise to preserve the Emperor. Only Byrnes, who newly came to the office on July 3, 1945, disagreed and opposed.
(7) Six out of all the seven Five Star Generals were against the use of ABombs, and thought that Japan would surrender without them.
(against: MacArthur, Eisenhower, Marshal, Arnold, Nimitz, Leahy)
(8) Preservation of the Emperor was included in the final US official proposal for the condition of Japan's surrender.
(9) However, on the way to Potsdam on Augusta, Byrnes succeeded in persuading Truman to remove the clause on the Emperor. Grew, Stimson and others were not on the ship.
(10) Truman heard the ABobm test was successful on July 16, 1945 during the Potsdam meeting with a message “Babies satisfactorily born."
(11) Stimson arrived at Potsdam after the Abomb test, and asked Truman to re-include the clause of preserving the Emperor. But Truman very strongly opposed to the idea and refused by saying "you can go home if you do not like it."
(12) At the meeting in Potsdam on August 17, Truman asked Stalin, when Soviet would invade Japan. Stalin replied August 15. (Japan had a non-aggression pact with the Soviet. But in Yalta Conference held from February 4 to 11, 1945, FDR secretly agreed with Stalin to give Soviet some parts of Japan in return for breaking the pact and invading Japan.) Truman wrote on this day's dairy that if Soviet aggresses on August 15, Jap will end, meaning that if Truman used Abombs BEFORE August 15, his purpose for the use would be something other than ending the War.
(13) The Potsdam declaration was issued July 26, but it was not signed by Soviet, delaying the sign by the Japanese. It was Truman that refused the signature by Stalin.
(14) On the same day, July 26, Truman gave a command to drop the first ABomb on the earliest clear day after August 3.
(15) Just before Soviet's invasion, US dropped the ABombs, on August 6 and 9, 1945. On hearing this news, Soviet started invading Manchuria on August 9, sooner than the previously planned date by breaking the non-aggression pact.
(16) The Japanese did not even know what the bombs were, but they surrendered when they found Soviet started invading Manchuria, because with almost no power to fight back even against US, they could not hold a two-front war; Japan did not have other route than through Soviet for negotiating the terms of surrender.
(17) Truman said on US TV that they used the ABombs that they "invested" so much money.
(18) US intervened treating patients at hospitals for collecting medical data. In some cases, they let patients die without treatment to collect intestines for studies back in US.
(19) The Emperor Hirohito was not prosecuted in the Tokyo Tribunal, and he stayed as the Emperor. The position of the emperor was also kept under the new constitution which was illegally (by International Law) forced by the US. So the whole hustle about the preservation of the Emperor did not mean anything at all in the end.
(20) In his memoirs, Truman wrote "Japanese are beast. So are treated as."
(21) A famous book, "Just and Unjust Wars," written by a prominent US political philosopher at Harvard, Michael Waltzer, condemns the uses of atomic bombs as crimes. This book is used as a must-read text book at West Point today.

If you are confident, show your primary source evidence that convinced you that this fabrication is in fact a true story. So far all I saw from the people like yourself are: photos of so-called "Japanese soldiers" wearing look alike outfits made in China, which were fabricated by the Publicity Section of Kuomintang to raise funds in US through Chang-kai Shek's wife, Mei-soon Lin; hearsay from Kuomintang like the diary of Rabe who admitted that he did not see any civilian massacre, and thus did not testify at Tokyo Trial nor his diary was used in it; news distributed to the world mainly through an Australian journalist, Harold John Timperley, who was revealed by Kuomintang's documents in Taiwan in 2015 to be one of their five chief agents, and was responsible as the head of the London Brunch of Kuomintang’s Publicity Section regularly receiving money. Timperley wrote the famoust book "What War Means: The Japanese Terror in China,” which first spread this fabrication to the Western world but he later refused to testify at the Tokyo Trial.
The head of the International Publicity Section of Kuomintang, Zeng Xubai, later admitted in his autobiography that they paid Tmeperley and Smythe to write two books to propagate Nanking Massacre to overseas and the books achieved their goals.
Also, all the confessions from Japanese veterans, which were presented by CCP and registered in UNESCO as evidences for the massacre in China, were made by members of a communist group called Chukiren. All of them, without an exception. They were brainwashed by CCP during their captivities. The CCP's objective was to use them as activists in order to emotionally separate Japanese citizens from the government by brainwashing the Japanese how bad Japan behaved during the War, for a later communist revolution in Japan that the CCP was planning.
GHQ cooperated with this CCP's plan through the Japan’s Communist Party for their War Guilt Information Program, and the document for the operation was declassified in 2014 by The National Archives United Kingdom, TNA, in England under the name, Norman File KV2/3261, after a Canadian diplomat in charge, Egerton Herbert Norman, who committed suicide when he was suspected as a communist spy.
Before the Japanese Army marched into Nanking, the International Committee for Nanking Safety Zone, for which Rabe was the leader, notified them where the Safety Zone was, and subsequently sent a latter of appreciation to the Army for not bombing it. The population of the city as counted by the Committee before the Japanese entry was about 200,000, much less than the CCP’s claim for a massacre of 300,000, and the number increased to about 250,000 in the following months because the Chinese civilians who escaped to outside of the city returned once they found that it was safe. It was the CCP and Kuomintang who were killing the civilians, and they were the ones that civilians were scared of.
That is why tens of western media journalists who were in Nanking or along the way to the city from Shanghai at the time never reported any civilian massacre by the Japanese Army.

Rapes:
Japan always had the world’s lowest crime rates in its history, especially rapes. You can read Spanish and Portuguese missionary letters of old times or compare today’s police statistics among OECD countries.
If rapes happen, there will be babies born at a certain percentage.
When US occupied Japan, the very first thing they did was to force the Japanese government to provide three types of brothels for officers, white soldiers and black soldiers using Japanese tax payers money (this order in writing by MacArthur still exists). Japan did so, but still, there were over 20,000 rapes (reported only) in the first six months, for which some 6,000 amerasian were born. GHQ found this and forced the Japanese Police to stop collecting the data, but subsequently the US’s 80 Amerasian Act was enacted for one million amerasians around the world: God know how many you have to rape for that.
Koreans also raped and massacred so many civilians during the Vietnam War, and now there is a big issue of Lai Dai Han.
But where are the Japanese babies? Has anybody seen any?
If you say they killed the women, has anybody found any bodies yet?
If you say they burnt the women, has anybody found the ashes yet?
Where are they?
Or, they keep silent about rapes because of the shame factor?
But wait, they only talk about Koreans and Americans but not about Japanese? ....That makes sense.
The Japanese were the defeated and supposed to be the "bad guys.” So shouldn't they talk about the Japanese babies and keep silent about Koreans and Americans? After the War, US was frantically looking for Japanese war crimes for Tokyo Trial and WGIP, so the Japanese rapes are the ones that should be most talked about…...
In any wars, rapes and assaults are always used to bash the defeated.

Atomic Bombs:
The Atomic bombs were never needed for the Japanese to surrender and US knew it. But still they used them as human experiments. This is clearly shown in the following sequence of events:
(1) After Nazi surrendered on May 7, 1945, Churchill kept on pushing Truman to hold Potsdam meeting immediately in a hope to end the WWII as soon as possible. However, Truman kept on postponing it until the first test of the ABomb on July 16, 1945. The first Potsdam meeting was postponed until July 17.
(2) On May 8, US summoned Japan to accept “unconditional surrender."
(3) However, the "Unconditional surrender” that Truman strongly insisted, is a military term used for an army and not for a country. It has no definition in the International Law, and thus bewildered not only Japan but everyone else including US law philosophers, US generals like Eisenhower, or even Churchill.
(4) US found that Japan started negotiating to surrender through Soviet in June 1941, to which MacArthur said to the General Staff Office that the War is over. The resolution for starting to negotiate the terms of surrender through Soviet was passed on June 22, 1945 in Japan WITHOUT atomic bombs.
(5) Joseph Grew, the former ambassador to Japan, knew from his experiences and suggested to Truman on May 28, 1945 that if US agreed to keep the Emperor, Japan would surrender immediately.
(6) Both Eisenhower and Stimson agreed to Grew's idea and to proposed it to the President on July 20, 1945. MacArthur also wrote that the Japanese would fight til the last person if US would not promise to preserve the Emperor. Only Byrnes, who newly came to the office on July 3, 1945, disagreed and opposed.
(7) Six out of all the seven Five Star Generals were against the use of ABombs, and thought that Japan would surrender without them.
(against: MacArthur, Eisenhower, Marshal, Arnold, Nimitz, Leahy)
(8) Preservation of the Emperor was included in the final US official proposal for the condition of Japan's surrender.
(9) However, on the way to Potsdam on Augusta, Byrnes succeeded in persuading Truman to remove the clause on the Emperor. Grew, Stimson and others were not on the ship.
(10) Truman heard the ABobm test was successful on July 16, 1945 during the Potsdam meeting with a message “Babies satisfactorily born."
(11) Stimson arrived at Potsdam after the Abomb test, and asked Truman to re-include the clause of preserving the Emperor. But Truman very strongly opposed to the idea and refused by saying "you can go home if you do not like it."
(12) At the meeting in Potsdam on August 17, Truman asked Stalin, when Soviet would invade Japan. Stalin replied August 15. (Japan had a non-aggression pact with the Soviet. But in Yalta Conference held from February 4 to 11, 1945, FDR secretly agreed with Stalin to give Soviet some parts of Japan in return for breaking the pact and invading Japan.) Truman wrote on this day's dairy that if Soviet aggresses on August 15, Jap will end, meaning that if Truman used Abombs BEFORE August 15, his purpose for the use would be something other than ending the War.
(13) The Potsdam declaration was issued July 26, but it was not signed by Soviet, delaying the sign by the Japanese. It was Truman that refused the signature by Stalin.
(14) On the same day, July 26, Truman gave a command to drop the first ABomb on the earliest clear day after August 3.
(15) Just before Soviet's invasion, US dropped the ABombs, on August 6 and 9, 1945. On hearing this news, Soviet started invading Manchuria on August 9, sooner than the previously planned date by breaking the non-aggression pact.
(16) The Japanese did not even know what the bombs were, but they surrendered when they found Soviet started invading Manchuria, because with almost no power to fight back even against US, they could not hold a two-front war; Japan did not have other route than through Soviet for negotiating the terms of surrender.
(17) Truman said on US TV that they used the ABombs that they "invested" so much money.
(18) US intervened treating patients at hospitals for collecting medical data. In some cases, they let patients die without treatment to collect intestines for studies back in US.
(19) The Emperor Hirohito was not prosecuted in the Tokyo Tribunal, and he stayed as the Emperor. The position of the emperor was also kept under the new constitution which was illegally (by International Law) forced by the US. So the whole hustle about the preservation of the Emperor did not mean anything at all in the end.
(20) In his memoirs, Truman wrote "Japanese are beast. So are treated as."
(21) A famous book, "Just and Unjust Wars," written by a prominent US political philosopher at Harvard, Michael Waltzer, condemns the uses of atomic bombs as crimes. This book is used as a must-read text book at West Point today.

Atomic Bombs:
The Atomic bombs were never needed for the Japanese to surrender and US knew it. But still they used them as human experiments. This is clearly shown in the following sequence of events:

2. On May 8, 1945, US summoned Japan to accept “unconditional surrender.” (The idea for summoning unconditional surrender to Germany, Japan and Italy was a FDR’s idea, and it was first mentioned at Casabranca Conference on Janurary 24, 1943.)
3. However, the "Unconditional surrender” that the US strongly insisted, is a military term used for an army but not for a country. It has no definition in the International Law, and in the 20th century order under the Law of War, “unconditional surrender” as in the sense used prior to the modern period would never be established legally. Thus it bewildered not only Japan but everyone else including US law philosophers, US generals like Eisenhower, or even Churchill.
4. US found that Japan started negotiating to surrender through Soviet in June 1945, to which MacArthur said to the General Staff Office that the War is over. The resolution for starting to negotiate the terms of surrender through Soviet was passed on June 22, 1945 in Japan WITHOUT any knowledge of the US atomic bombs.

Truman wrote on this day's dairy that "He'll be in the Jap War on August 15th. Fini Japs when that comes about.” This means that if Truman used Abombs BEFORE August 15, the purpose for the use would be something other than ending the War.
13. On July 25, 1945, Truman told Stimson to use the atomic bombs on Japan, and wrote on this day's diary that he is sure that the Japs will not accept the Potsdam Decleration.
14. The Potsdam declaration was issued July 26, but it was not signed by Soviet, confusing and delaying the sign by the Japanese. It was Truman that refused the signature by Stalin.
15. On the same day, July 26, Truman gave a command to drop the first ABomb on the earliest clear day after August 3.
16. Just before Soviet's invasion, US dropped the ABombs, on August 6 and 9, 1945. On hearing this news, Soviet started invading Manchuria on August 9, sooner than the previously planned date.
17. The Japanese did not even know what the bombs were, but they surrendered when they found Soviet started invading Manchuria, because with almost no power to fight back even against US, they could not hold a two-front war; Japan did not have other route than through Soviet for negotiating the terms of surrender.
18. Truman said on US TV that they used the ABombs that they "invested" so much money.
19. In his memoirs, Truman wrote "Japanese are beast. So are treated as."
20. As early as in September 1945, The Armed Forces Joint Commission for Investigating Effects of the Atomic Bomb in Japan was formed and commenced large scale investigations. Some 1,300 Japanese doctors were pulled into the investigation examining more than 20,000 patients, 17,000 of which were children. Intestines of 200 bodies were sent to Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C., for further study.
21. Based on the investigations,"Medical effects of the atomic bomb in Japan” was published from which a graph of mortality rates of atomic bombs vs distance from hypocenter was created. This became the basis of the US nuclear strategy as it gave the crucial figures to calculate the number of atomic bombs required to attack each enemy cities. Some example numbers of Hiroshima-type atomic bombs required to annihilate cities as calculated by the US Air Force from the graph are as follows: Moscow 6, Stalingrad 5, Vladivostok 3, Kirov 2, Tallin 4, Chelyabinak 3, etc.
As such, through these experiments, the US now became the only country in the world with Big Data for the effects of atomic bombs on target cities as well as on human bodies.
22. The Emperor Hirohito was not prosecuted in the Tokyo Tribunal, and he stayed as the Emperor. The position of the emperor was also kept under the new constitution which was illegally (by International Law) forced by the US. So the whole hustle about the preservation of the Emperor did not mean anything at all in the end.
23. A famous book, "Just and Unjust Wars," written by a prominent US political philosopher at Harvard, Michael Waltzer, condemns the uses of atomic bombs as crimes. This book is used as a must-read text book at West Point today.

On June 30, 1946, a confidential report, "United States Strategic Bombing Survey: The Effects of the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” prepared by the United States Strategic Bombing Survey (USSBS) was reported to Truman concluding that "Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts, and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey's opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated.”

Nanking Massacre:
All the evidences for the Nanking Massacre were fabricated by Kuomintang for raising funds in US; used by GHQ and US for Tokyo Trial and WGIP; and today exploited by CCP as a weapon to break up the tie between US and Japan for their military expansion into the Pacific.

Massacre:
In the world's longest history of tens of t
housand years, much longer than that of China, there was NO civilian massacre in Japan. All the arrowheads found are small for killing little animals for foods; no broken bones killed in massacre are found; and there is no record for massacre despite the fact that Japan always had the one of the world’s highest literacy rates since a thousand years ago. None.
The biggest body count was in the 16th century Battle of Sekigahara in which 5,000 to 10,000 were killed. But all were samurai. There were many records like diaries, memo, letters, etc. saying farmers were eating bento while watching the battle; selling foods and goods to the samurai. After all, unlike in the West, samurai needed farmers for cultivating rice paddies.
Also, all the killing and touturing methods described in the massacre of Chinese by the Japanese are Chinese traditional methods repeatedly appearing in their history books, but never in the Japanese history books. Killing, torturing and suicide methods are rooted in traditions and cultures: the most popular suicide method, for instance, in US is by guns; in UK, gas; and in Japan, by hanging. They are not something you can imagine out of blue.
On the contrary, China is the exact opposite. Massive civilian massacres like the Cultural Revolution were commonplace every time their dynasties changed, to the extent that the country's entire population dropped very severely. Massacres are a part of their history, tradition and culture.
In the early 20th century too, during the civil war between CCP and Kuomintang, i.e. at the time of the war between Japan and China, both were heavily involved in massacring civilians. In Yellow River Flood Incident alone, Kuomintang killed up to one million civilians.
One thing is that many Chinese soldiers were fighting in ordinary clothes, which is against the International Law. They are regarded as spies and can be executed by the Law.
But what is the reason for the Japanese to kill Chinese civilians? To annihilate the entire one billion Chinese? They were always short in supply of aminitions, and were strick on their use.
So the Japanese, who had never committed civilian massacre in their tens of thousands years of history, massacred tens of millions of Chinese civilians using killing methods described repeatedly in the Chinese history books while at the same time saving tens of thousand lives of jews by allowing them into their Shanghai Settlement through Manchuria, and for which there is no legit primary source evidence or witnesses?
Does that make sense?
There is NO reason to kill Chinese civilians apart from Kuomintang and CCP soldiers wearing civilian clothes.

China:
It is the Han Chinese that attacked Japan first.
Japan got that part of Manchuria first from Russia, not from China. The Han Chinese had never ruled that part of present day China in their history. Never. Also they hate the Hans. When Qing fell, ROC asked Manchuria, Inner Mongol, Uighur, and Tibet to join. But they all refused.
In case you did not know, even though they boast about their five thousand year history, China was first united only less than three thousand years ago, and it was not by the Han Chinese. Since then, China was united for two of the three thousand years, and the Han Chinese only ruled for a total of six hundred years during the Former Han, the Latter Han and Ming. Other dynasties were established by other races, so Manchuria, Mongol, Uighur and Tibet were never ruled by the Han Chinese.
Before the 20th century, China was the name of the land, not of a country: there were just different dynasties or country of different races occupying the land called “China."
Even though you may think Panda are Chinese, they were always Tibetan's and never belonged to the Han Chinese in history. The Whites are brainwashed and fooled by the Han Chinese.

Atrocities by US soldiers:
You can read confessions by US soldiers for their atorocities they committed during the War in "Summer, 1945: Germany, Japan and the Harvest of Hate” by Thomas Goodrich.
"We Americans have the dangerous tendency in our international thinking to take a holier-than-thou attitude toward other nations. We consider ourselves to be more noble and decent than other peoples, and consequently in a better position to decide what is right and wrong in the world. What kind of war do civilians suppose we fought, anyway? We shot prisoners in cold blood, wiped out hospitals, strafed lifeboats, killed or mistreated enemy civilians, finished off the enemy wounded, tossed the dying into a hole with the dead, and in the Pacific boiled the flesh off enemy skulls to make table ornaments for sweethearts, or carved their bones into letter openers.... [W]e mutilated the bodies of enemy dead, cutting off their ears and kicking out their gold teeth for souvenirs, and buried them with their testicles in their mouths.... We topped off our saturation bombing and burning of enemy civilians by dropping atomic bombs on two nearly defenseless cities, thereby setting an all-time record for instantaneous mass slaughter. As victors we are privileged to try our defeated opponents for their crimes against humanity; but we should be realistic enough to appreciate that if we were on trial for breaking international laws, we should be found guilty on a dozen counts. We fought a dishonorable war, because morality had a low priority in battle. The tougher the fighting, the less room for decency, and in Pacific contests we saw mankind reach the blackest depths of bestiality." ---- Edgar Jones, WWII Veteran

Asia:
Japan fought against the whites who were enslaving Asia for hundreds of years, not against the natives. What do you think the whites were doing in Asia?
Charity?
There were only about 60 countries in the world at the time, of which only 10 non-white countries were not yet colonized by the whites. And the figure was decreasing. Japan was the last country in Asia remaining totally independent, and within several years of the War all the countries were freed.
Who do you think formed and trained their armies in Asian countries, which fought against the West when they came back to recolonize after the WWII?
You think the Asians were holding US guns or Japanese guns?
Or, do they grow on trees?
For example, today, some 3,000 Japanese lay buried with orders in Kalibata Heroes Cemetery in Jakarta, Indonesia. Everybody in Indonesia including those in the first subsequent independent Government and Army like the first President Sukarno, Bun Tomo, Aramasa, Sanpas, Hatta, etc. were holding Japanese guns and fighting with the Japanese.
