Consequences Of The Nanjing Massacre

Adolf Hitler and his concentration camps. It was forced fed to us as kids all the way through school but not knowing other very important things that happened as well like the Rape of Nanjing. A tragedy that is just as bad as the holocaust that took place in China’s new capital of 1928, Nanjing. The Rape of Nanjing took place on December 13th, 1937. Japan invaded China with two navy fleets and an army that has already entered the cities of Zhongshan and Pacific Gates. For six weeks the navy fleets

The Nanjing Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanking, was a gruesome event where Japanese soldiers committed rape and murder upon the residents of Nanjing, China, over a six week period.

Wiesel, the author of Night, showed the Jews’ experience from the horrors, tortures, and killings in the death camps. At the same time, a mass execution was happening in Nanjing, China, where the Japanese soldiers were slaughtering and torturing thousands of the Chinese. Both the Jews from Night and the Chinese in the “Nanking Massacre” had suffered the elements of cruelty from execution methods and their torture such

known that the US had something specially planned for them, so it was fair game to drop the bomb. Also the leaflets stated that the Japanese should evacuate but since they ignored the leaflets and didn’t evacuate the people, they had to suffer the consequences. In addition, the Potsdam Declaration was never responded to so the US went ahead with their plan and dropped the atomic bomb. This was entirely Japan’s government fault because although many Japanese citizens feared of what was to come and believed

The Jews had faced discrimination long before the Holocaust began. In many cities, the Jews were forced to live in separate communities called ghettos. Hitler held responsible the Jews for Germany's troubles, and he made anti-Semitism a government policy. In the next several months, the government passed many laws that banned Jews from specific occupations. Jews were excluded from civil service, for example, and from the fields of schooling and culture, and they could no longer farm the land. The

The aftermath of World War II in East Asia resulted in much more than the rebuilding of individual governments or countries.

The Chinese revolution of 1949 signified the beginning of an era of Communist Chinese rule ushered in by the

Almost 70 years has being passed since the last world war was declared its end. These days, it is said that if the third world war is occurred in the current world, it should be a total warfare with nuclear weapons (Gunn, 2004:70). In general the World War II (WWII) is often considered as a case of total war; now, there can be a question about the existence of total war in the world history.
