1905-
•Korean people:
“Please merge us with Japan and civilize us!(X4more times)
•Japan:
"... You should civilize you by yourself and strengthen your country by yourself.
We will support you until that.”
“... can't you do it yet? “
“… Don't borrow such a large amount of money from the Soviet Union with your land as collateral.
If you can't return it, you'll lose your land!”
“...... Sigh, OK, Let’s merge."
1910-
Japan paid a huge debt of the Korean Empire instead.
Japan established infrastructures such as water and sewage, roads, schools, medical facilities / medical systems, and dams etc. by investing huge amounts of money.
Japan's balance was in the red on the Korean Peninsula for 35 years until the merge was ended.
At that time, the population of Korean became twice.
Manchurian people: "Japan, protect us from the bad Chinese warlords!" (X many many times)
Japan:”.......”
Kwantung Army(Japan Manchurian Security Force):
"It is necessary to maintain security in Manchuria to protect the Korean Peninsula!“
→ Manchurian Incident occurred
If these are considered invasion, what do you think China is doing now?

I always wonder why Americans only talk about the atomic bomb and nothing about city air raids.
They seem to think it wasn't there.
Don't Americans know that 100,000 civilians were burned to death in two hours in the bombing of Tokyo and how cruel it was?
By the way, I think the United States has never even thought of apologizing to Japan.
Americans say, "The United States provided Japan with financial support through SCAP."
That’s not correct.
The costs that GHQ spent for 7 years in Japan had been paid by Japan. And the amount of the costs were more than the amount of SCAP.
So, it means that the US did NOT support Japan economically.
Rather, it can be said that it was exploited.
Also, “The United States improved Japanese women's status by giving them the right to vote,” says Americans.
It makes me have mixed feelings.
Yes they did, while sexually assaulting at least 100,000 Japanese women and girls.
This figure is based on the records of the official statistics of the Japanese government.
On the other hand, in Japan at that time, it was considered unfavorable for women to have sexual intercourse before marriage, so it seems that many victims did not report sexual assault if they were not publicly known due to pregnancy or injury or death.
From the above, it is estimated that the number of victims of sexual assault was several times higher than the number recorded.
And even today, Japan has more than 80 US military bases, and under the US-Japan Security Treaty, the United States treats Japan as an economic and military colony.

MacArthur once said in the senate speech immediately after his return to the United States, "Japan's war was mostly for security."
And, the former President Hoover wrote in "Freedom Betrayed," the Roosevelt administration cornered Japan with a trap, inviting a first attack.
In the first place, it was the United States that provoked war on Japan for a long time, before attacking the Pearl Harbor.
Since 1927, the United States began ordering Chinese warlords to conduct anti-Japanese campaigns in exchange for financial and arms support. That was in order to disturb Japan from expanding its interests in China through business.
The Chinese warlords sabotaged Japanese commercial facilities, looted/raped/massacred ordinary Japanese residents, and attacked/kidnapped&slaughtered Japanese soldiers.
After the Xi'an Incident, this anti-Japanese terrorism operation was finally undertaken by Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang army, which allied with the CCP.
That developed into big conflict, the China Incident, with the Japanese army.
And the China Incident was prolonged because the United States continued to support Chiang Kai-shek despite Japan's repeated offers of peace talks.
Then, the United States cornered Japan because of the China Incident that the United States set up behind the scenes.
Even so, in order to avoid a war with the United States, Japan negotiated for the lifting of the embargo and the naval blockade, but the United States' response was getting worse and worse.
It was natural. The Roosevelt administration was cornering Japan in order to force Japan to launch a preemptive strike.
If Japan rearms, will it attack the United States? Hahaha, that's a story that a person without basic knowledge that the United States started the Pacific War could come up with. Although Japan did not want to go to war in the first place, it was dragged into the war by the manipulation of the United States.
Simply put, there will be no war unless the United States starts war.

According to the Tokyo Tribunal, Japan's war of aggression on China began with the Manchurian Incident.
This was because China was on the victorious side.
The Lytton Report has pointed out the illegal activities of the Kwantung Army, but it has not been pointed out as an aggression.
However, in the Tokyo Tribunal, the facts that were inconvenient for the victorious nation were ignored, and the Lytton Report was also silently killed.
In the first place, Manchuria was a remote area outside the Great Wall of China when viewed from the center of China, and it was a lawless area with little awareness as a territory.
・ Soviet troops stationed in Manchuria and intimidated the Korean Peninsula
・ The Soviet army that had moved south was conducting the Russo-Japanese War with the Japanese army in Manchuria.
The above also seems to have been deliberately ignored.
It was not taken into account that the people living in the South Manchuria Railway and its affiliates, which Japan acquired from Russia after the Russo-Japanese War, were always at risk of robbery of warlords in the anarchy of Manchuria.
It seems that these were to replace the "Kwantung Army's self-defense war" with "Japan's invasion of Manchuria."
The case of Liutiaohu, which is said to have been a self-made performance by the Kwantung Army, was not correct.
However, the assaults and looting of Manchus and Japanese in Manchuria before that were not correct because they were done by outlaws in the area.
Manchuria was built by the Qing’s last Emperor Puyi from the Manchu people after Japan wiped out the predators.
He testified at the Tokyo Tribunal that he was the puppet king of Japan.
But it was not true. The reason why he lied was that Manchuria was under Soviet control at the time.
It was true that Japan had a great military and economic influence over Manchuria, but it was also true that the Manchurian government controlled Manchuria.
If Manchuria is considered to have been a colony invaded by Japan, then Japan today is also considered to be a colony invaded by the United States.
This is a complete violation of the Potsdam Declaration by the United States.

Hahaha What an anti-Japan PROPAGANDA!!
Well, China is certainly the top export destination for Japan, because China buys so many electronic device parts, manufacturing equipment, etc. from Japan. Western and Japanese companies that had production plants due to the cheap labor force in China will relocate their plants to India, Vietnam and etc. or their own country after decoupling. However, Japanese parts and manufacturing equipment will still be needed at the new location, so they will continue to be purchased. Therefore, the slowdown of the Chinese economy is not equal to the fact that Japan's export profits will be zero.
On the contrary, I think the current depreciation of the yen and the appreciation of the dollar are good timings.
Due to the trade war between the United States and China, developed countries are now trying to get the lowest line supply of the semiconductor industry from a security perspective. In other words, developed countries are now trying to build semiconductor manufacturing plants in each country or neighboring countries.
Most of Japan's semiconductor manufacturing industry (chip foundries) was crushed by the United States in the late 1980s and 1990s. However, Japanese companies still have a very high global market share in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment/ machine and materials industry. For the time being, these Japanese chip manufacturing facilities and materials will continue to be needed more than usual. It goes without saying that the depreciation of the yen in this case will bring more profits to these Japanese companies.

Unless Japan possesses nuclear missiles and can launch them in response to missile attacks, the deterrence effect against the CCP is low.
What they value is maintaining the current absolute power, and the CCP disregards people's lives.
They wouldn't hesitate unless they predict situation like this : Even if they evacuate to the nuclear shelter and save their lives, they will not be able to leave the shelter due to radioactive contamination outside the shelter, and as a result they will not survive.
But this is not possible while the United States is under Democratic administration.
Just seven years before him, in his H!||@ry cheering speech in 2016, the current US president criticized the former DT president.
“Does he not understand we wrote japan's constitution to say they could not be a nuclear power!?”
And the audience who listened to this speech gave a big round of applause...
And you don't know, but Japan had completed the development of a rudimentary nuclear weapon. However, even if Japan's war situation was hopeless, the emperor did not allow the use of weapons that were indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction and caused too much inhumane environmental pollution. So no further development of nuclear weapons took place.
Today, the emperor has no power to stop the use of nuclear weapons because it was taken away by GHQ.
Well, who do you think is most stupid?
