Hell In The Pacific - Episode 1 - "Inferno" - part 2 of 5

…and Von Clausewitz warns that when combatants *choose* to degenerate into unrestrained annihilation, war becomes unbounded and takes on a life of its own.

Imperial Japan reaped the whirlwind.

@clovenrick (Part2) The KMT troops who came from mainland China were highly undisciplined, looting, stealing, and contributing to the overall breakdown of infrastructure and public services. Estimates of the number of deaths vary from ten thousand to thirty thousand or more. According to the New York Times on March 29, 1947, an American said, “Troops from China arrived at Taiwan on March 7 and indulged in three days of indiscriminate killing and looting.

In the end the Japs got what they deserved. The A-bomb.

[rockyblacksmith]

@LaserBeam002 Sorry, but that is bullshit. If one generation is commiting war crimes, then they may be punished for it, but if several following generations have to pay you can't speak of them deserving to do so. And we are not speaking of the thousands of japanese civilians who were killed without deserving so, women, children, babies, and so on. One might argue about wether the A- bomb was justifiable, but the japanese people did not DESERVE it, and definetly not two of them.

[tripper85]

@LaserBeam002 Right. None of the Nanking soldiers were in hiroshima or nagasaki. Exactly how did the people deserve it?

[sethzky77]

Fuck War!

[AndrewPPalmer]

Mindless sheep. Kind of like American Democrats.

[AndrewPPalmer]

Mindless sheep.

[WaterCottage]

Anybody still think these pricks didn't deserve the atomic bombs ?

[BLUEWHITEBLUEWHITEBL]

Thank you for posting all of these documentary for all of us to watch.Any eye opener for sure.

[undertakerRach]

(Part2)The second reason is the Chinese government is afraid of happening the 2nd Tiananmen Massacre. Finally, Chinese government fears some districts will be independent from China. Look at these people, don't you feel something strange? Think about the Nanking Massacre which had been insisted on its happening more than sixty years ago, but not even clearly defined. They are victims of dictator country.

[Stranskii]

@undertakerRach Japan kills millons of People from China , Korea and other countrys, also the Japanese Army was a completter joke . With allies like Italia and japan you dont need a enemy. your tanks lol.

[undertakerRach]

@Stranskii In fact, it estimated that a far larger number of 65,000,000 people had been victimized in China, is still existing under the dictatorial political system, and still persecuting minorities and committing human right violations ceaselessly. Especially in Tibet, more than 1,200,000 people, corresponding to roughly 20% of the total population, were massacred since being unfairly annexed to Communist China in 1955.

[brasso4u]

@undertakerRach Yeah, they were much better off under Jap rule. All the Japs did was murder, torture and rape every Chinese they could and then test poison gas on whole provinces of Chinese to test their effectiveness.

However, the Jap Army was no joke....you are.

You are full of sh*t.

[undertakerRach]

@brasso4u ■“China's Textbooks Twist and Omit History by Howard W. French. New York Times on December 5, 2004. Most Chinese students finish high school convinced that their country has fought wars only in self-defense, never aggressively or in conquest, despite the People's Liberation Army's invasion of Tibet in 1950 and the ill-fated war with Vietnam in 1979, to take two examples. Similarly, many believe that Japan was defeated largely as a result of Chinese resistance, not by the U.S.

[Hotshotter3000]

@undertakerRach The Chinese would never ever have won the Sino-Japanese war if it wasn't for the US and British support. First they had an embargo on oil, which was meant to halt Japanese progress, and then the war started, which forced the Japanese to divert huge resources against the Americans and Australians in the Pacific and the British in Burma. If the allies hadn't cared and still sold everything Japan needed to wage war, they would still be in China today.

[undertakerRach]

@Hotshotter3000 (Part1)The very Communist China declared that the problem of Tibet is a problem relating to domestic affairs and refused the interference of the foreign nations. On the other hand, the CCP is loudly denouncing the 'Nanking Massacre' which had been insisted on its happening more than sixty years ago, but not even clearly defined. The Nanking Massacre, also known refers to a six-week period following the Japanese capture the Nanking in China in 1937.

[undertakerRach]

@Hotshotter3000 (Part2) Chinese government has claimed that many civilians were murdered and raped by Japanese at this period. The Chinese government has told outrageous lies. 147 of pictures in the Nanking Massacre Museum were distorted by them for Chinese propaganda. Also, most of the pictures have never indicated the date, the places, and the names of photographers. Also, some of them are showing the entirely different things, and others are forged ones.

[askjiir]

@undertakerRach

Your a tool. To the finish, and till the end.

[undertakerRach]

@askjiir The Nanking Massacre was a false story which was just a rumor creating by China. If the Chinese say the massacre was true story, they should show conclusive evidence. I have written so many Chinese people, but nobody has written the evidence. Nanking believers have appealed the story is true to the world, but it is not indefinite. Moreover, some evidence such as pictures and videos was created by China.

How people can believe the story without evidence?

[VegardMinde]

@undertakerRach What about the japanese that admits to the atrocitys ?

[undertakerRach]

@VegardMinde ■(Part1)Chinese government created many Japanese testimonies after the WW2 finished intentionally. After WW2, many Japanese soldiers who were dispatched China returned to Japan temporarily. However, they were caught by Chinese government as criminals. Many Japanese were in Chinese jails after finished the WW2, and they were tortured by them. The Japanese were forced to write what they did in China. In short, they had to write false diary stories which were directed by the Chinese.

[undertakerRach]

@VegardMinde (Part2)Definitely, the Chinese government needed Japanese evidence about committing many massacres in China. After the Japanese wrote in the diary which shows Japanese raped many Chinese women and killed many civilians, they could be free and go back to Japan. From the perspective of psychology, if people are forced to write false stories for long time, the false stories could be true memories.

[undertakerRach]

@VegardMinde (Part3)The Chukiren is a group which composed Japanese soldiers that came back from China has told these stories. A confession obtained by asking leading questions or torture is not recognized by the courts. These days, the Chinese government has still used these false stories for diplomatic cards between Japan and China. However, the Japanese were smart because they wrote another troop name which never has stayed in China.

[undertakerRach]

@VegardMinde China love creating a bad rumor about Japan. One of the foundations of the massacre myth is based on the book which is called "What War Means", edited by Harold Timperley. But he was an advisor to the Chinese Nationalist government’s Ministry of Information. The section was propaganda section which was established by KMT (Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek) in China during the War. Timperley was paid by the propaganda section for writing the book.

[undertakerRach]

(Part1) Teachers have taught anti-Japanese sentiment using the Nanking Massacre to kids in schools. Some historians and politicians have found the answers why China needs the anti-Japanese policy and what the purpose of that is. Here are these reasons.　The first reasons of starting the anti-Japanese policy was for hiding Tibet and Uighur human right problems in China from people.
