Japanese war crimes

The Second World War, arguably the most influential conflict in world history, left legacies of valor and heroism as well as legacies of unspeakable atrocities and violence. While the Holocaust in Germany deservedly draws significant attention when the war is taught in history classes across the world, another such atrocity from this time period, the Nanking Massacre in China, can at times be forgotten. Some historians, such as author Xu Zhigeng, argue that certain Japanese officials deny that

expansionist policies resulted in a series of Sino-Japanese wars that fostered war crimes against the Chinese and occupied territories. Many of these crimes involved forcing women into becoming “comfort women” for Japanese soldiers and the Nanking Massacre, where Japanese troops murdered upwards of 300,000 residents and raped the women of Nanking, China. Yet, although international tribunals implicated Japanese military leaders after World War II for their wartime atrocities, the United States occupation

Jugun Ianfu Jugun ianfu was a term used by Japanese people to describe prostitute women during the Asian Pacific War. Another name to describe

the thousands of Japanese, Korean, Chinese and other Asian and European women who were victims of organized sexual violence and prostitution by means of “comfort stations” setup by the Japanese military during World War II.      As we first get into the book, we find out that the origins of comfort stations i.e. military brothels are unknown, but official documents strongly suggest that the Japanese Imperial Forces created comfort stations roughly around 1931-1932 for Japanese sailors. In the

For example, there is a woman who had been kicked hardly by a Japanese soldier that causes her arm broke, and it healed twists out of shape.

Introduction Since the end of WWII, numerous changes had taken place in both Germany and Japan in terms of historical consciousness regarding the war crimes and atrocities they had committed during the war. From the perspective of the war crimes, the Third Reich and Imperial Japan were somehow similar, since both countries had slaughtered POWs and innocent civilians, conducted human experimentations, enslaved POWs, and so on.

It was an expansionist and strong imperialist nation similar as the Western colonizers such as England, the Dutch, Russia, France and Germany.

(Walkom) The term "comfort women" refers to the victims of a "premeditated systematic plan

“Recruitment” There were various ways in which the Japanese Military “recruited” woman for comfort stations.

This is important when reflecting on the social situations in which victims encountered post-war. The recruitment of comfort women is used by many
