Imagine Abu Ghraib, but on a national scale. I think Tench is right, a lot of Japanese feel shame about what happened. So there is a tendency to save face by down playing, or even denying, what happened. This doesn't sit very well with those who were conquered. And that leads to some very convoluted dances between those governments.

There is no question in my mind that the Japanese were in a very aggressive stage of their development. Ten made the statement that the Koreans got it worse then the Chinese. I was asking why he thought that was true. I mean why should the Japanese have been more brutal to the Koreans than the Chinese? After all, the Japanese weren't exactly pleasant to the Chinese...... The Rape of Nanking comes to mind.
