Japan's biggest failure in the Pacific War was the not of landing operations in the Pearl Harbor attacks.If Japan were to take over Hawaii, it would be completely the opposite and could attack the U.S. mainland with Hawaii.On the contrary, the United States, based in Hawaii, acquired Guam, Saipan and Palau after the Battle of Midway, enabling mainland attacks on Japan.Japan and the United States are too far away, and Hawaii is an important base and fueling point.
In fact, even in the United States, if Hawaii had been taken by Japan, the United States would have to prepare for peace at that time.Some argue that Japan's landing ships and warships at that time could have carried out landing operations, but if so, Pearl Harbor should have been attacked after preparation for landing operations.Yamamoto Isoroku's blunder.

The postwar Asian order was created by the United States - Japan faced with the Hull note - The end of the China - centered idea of Asia.
Looking at the postwar period, it is clear that the international community wanted Asia to revolve around China. This can be explained by the fact that China is a permanent member of the United Nations. The United Nations was like an alliance of victorious nations, and its original purpose was to confront the enemy nations of Japan, Germany, and Italy, and to build world peace. China is not a victorious country. Japan was in a state of division and rule based on concessions from Europe, and Japan had no hope in the Sino-Japanese War. However, China is named in the Potsdam Declaration, Japan's surrender document.
The Cold War had already begun during the war, and the United States did not want to be left behind in the postwar international order. The United States only had interests in Asia such as the Philippines and had no interest in the war, but as the war was coming to an end, they requested participation in order to have a say in the post-war period. After leading the ABCD encirclement and bombing Japan with supplies, the Pacific War begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor, which is said to be a de facto ultimatum. That is the reason for America's participation in the war. Japan's fight in Asia was a fight against European colonialism, and the United States needed a cause. What was created there was a story called ``A fight for justice to defeat the Japanese invaders.'' The invaders of Asia for the past 400 years have been white people.
Japan's resistance was so strong that the United States finally asked for the Soviet Union to join the war. He asked Japan to revoke the Soviet-Japanese neutrality declaration and participate in the war. Roosevelt died there. Later, Truman became president and learned of the existence of atomic bomb research. The atomic bomb was a national secret known only to the president, not even the vice president. Truman's plans change and he chooses to drop the atomic bomb on Japan without waiting for the Soviet Union to enter the war. This is because the United States would have prevented a war in Asia by eliminating the Soviet Union. This has been revealed through the release of classified US documents, which revealed that the text that stated that the position of the Emperor would be preserved was deleted from the proposal for the instrument of surrender to Japan. Negotiations to end the war had already been carried out through the Soviet Union, and the Japanese side's demand was that the Emperor's status be preserved, which was written in the original surrender document.
In the first place, there is no reason for the United States to participate in the Greater East Asia War. The United States created the story of a just war, and from this point on, propaganda such that there is justice and injustice in wars naturally takes place, and the United States always takes the lead. There can be no justice or anything in war.
The Nanjing Military Tribunal ruled that more people than the population of Nanjing had been massacred, and after the war China was used as an important card in explaining its status as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council in the international community. China was positioned as both a war victim and a victor. South Korea and North Korea took advantage of this. They tried to take the position of the victorious country by claiming fictitious war damage even though they had not fought the war itself. South Korea still considers itself the Jew of Asia.
These things have come to light through the disclosure of confidential US documents after the secrecy period, and are based on facts that even the Japanese did not know. In recent years, the United States has begun to reevaluate the war, and the comfort women issue is no exception. One of the reasons may be that the number of Americans who are pro-Japanese has been rapidly increasing recently. In other words, what I am trying to say is that these historical views were created by the United States, and China, South Korea, and North Korea have taken advantage of them. In other words, since the United States is reevaluating itself, there is no going back to the fictional story of the past.
A nationwide pilgrimage by Emperor Showa after the war.The distance traveled is 33,000 kilometers.
Immediately after the war, the Emperor visits GHQ MacArthur's office.MacArthur thought Emperor came to ask for help in exile.It has never been seen in Western history that the head of state who lost the war remains in the country.It was common sense in the world to change dynasties, execute, and exile.Hitler has already committed suicide and Mussolini has been executed.
The Emperor said to MacArthur, "No matter what happens to me, I want you to save the lives of the Japanese people"Surprised by this, MacArthur wrote in his memoir that his fundamental view of Japanese rule has changed.
After that, the Emperor will go on a nationwide tour.The purpose was to encourage each and every citizen by walking all over Japan.There was nothing the Emperor could do for the people during the occupation, and it was a conclusion that he was worried about.
It begins in the midst of a Far East military trial.GHQ disbanded japanese army and the people can throw stones at Emperor or hang him on the neck.In the confusion of the wilderness after the defeat.Walk in the places where anyone can kill you.It was a trip of the Emperor with that determination.
Touring in a crowd of tens of thousands of people, The total distance traveled nationwide is 33,000 km, and the total number of days is 165 days.There were only a few companions in GHQ.I was told that plants and trees will not grow in Hiroshima, where the atomic bomb was dropped.As a country, there was no knowledge of radioactivity at all, only rumors spread, and no one tried to get close except those who lived in Hiroshima.
In 1947, the Emperor was in Hiroshima.People were encouraged, and people other than Hiroshima changed their minds to think, "Now that the Emperor has come, Hiroshima should be fine."
It is said that many Japanese were brave to make a pilgrimage to post-war Japan, which became Yakinohara.
The nationwide tour was far beyond GHQ's expectations.I don't understand people welcoming me here and there, let alone a stone.Britain and other countries reported that the situation was surprising and spread throughout Europe.
The long tour ends with Hokkaido as the final stop.The only regret is that I couldn't visit Okinawa, which Emperor had hoped for all my life.His Majesty Akihito wanted to visit Okinawa where was under U.S.A.
Western countries were surprised that the Japanese's love for the Emperor remained unchanged after the defeat.
Indian independence and Fujiwara Iwaichi's speech that touched Indian soldiers and Indian independence team.
Fujiwara Rock City, which supported Indian independence
Fujiwara who did not discriminate against Indians
Towards the liberation of India
Indian independence and Japan
Fujiwara declared as follows. ``If the Indian soldiers pledge allegiance to the liberation of their homeland and wish to join the Indian National Army, the Japanese military will stop treating them as prisoners of war, recognize their freedom to struggle, and provide them with full support.''
In February 1942, two days after the fall of Singapore to the Japanese army, approximately 50,000 Indian prisoners of war from the British and Indian forces gathered at Fara Park and were delighted by the speech given by Major Iwaichi Fujiwara. The 10,000-odd Indians who responded became the core of the later Indian independence movement.
Unlike the British, Major Fujiwara and others were admired by the people of India, who did not discriminate against people. He shared meals with Indian soldiers and had Indians lead them. While traveling in a car, Major Fujiwara began to fall asleep leaning against an Indian prisoner of war who had just surrendered, and the Indians were surprised at his lack of alertness.
India was under British colonial rule for approximately 190 years, starting with the rule of the East India Company. In addition to heavy taxes, they were forced to grow commercial crops, leading to food shortages and repeated large-scale famines that killed around 30 million people.
While racial discrimination was commonplace, Japan aimed to liberate Asia and supported Indian activists seeking independence.
Major Fujiwara was selected for this mission in September 1941. Major Fujiwara, who went to Thailand, made steady contact with Mr. Pritam Singh, an Indian independence activist, through his thin network of contacts, and succeeded in recruiting hundreds of Indian soldiers from the British Indian army. At the end of 1941, at the call of Major Fujiwara, the Indian National Army was established, headed by Captain Mohansingh, an Indian soldier.
On August 15, 1947, India gained independence from British rule.
There are 14 questions about the Nanjing massacre.Witnesses and trials that only raise questions.Let's count 100,000 people.
1. The Tokyo Tribunal and the Nanjing Military Tribunal were held at the same time, but 300,000 people were killed in the Nanjing Military Tribunal.In the Tokyo trial, there were more than 100,000 people who did not reach 200,000 people, but I wonder if the evidence was shared.What is the error between 100,000 and 200,000?
2.John Labe, a German who stood on the stand at the Tokyo trial, testified that 50,000 people were slaughtered. Where did this figure come from?How many 50,000 people have fled alone?Even if there are no obstacles at all, it will be hard work.If you have time to answer questions 1 and 2, try searching for and counting images of Michigan Stadium (107,601 seating capacity) .
3. More than 100 air strikes have been carried out against civilians, with 100,000 deaths per air raid.The first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima killed 80,000 people and Nagasaki killed 60,000 people.At that time, there was a Japanese army in Nanjing that had more destructive power than the atom bomb.This is definitely the strongest army in the world.Then why did Japan lose the war?
4.Let's see how we can kill 300,000 people.Direct artillery and grenades such as tanks and cannons will not be effective for people fleeing in all directions.Then why don't you lock civilians in buildings that you can't escape?So I remember Auschwitz, the largest Jewish camp in the Nazis.However, the maximum capacity is only 20,000 people, so would it be possible to make more than 10 in three days?But how should civilians be taken there?
5.Reverend Maggie, an American who stood on the witness stand at the Tokyo trial, complained of slaughter, but when asked how many he actually saw, he found 1 murder, 1 rape and 1 theft.100,000 → 200,000 → 300,000 people were killed, and where was he?
6.When the Japanese army arrived in Nanjing, the Kuomintang commander left the army behind and panicked, dressed in casual clothes and dressed as civilians, fled to their homes to continue fighting.How should soldiers and civilians be distinguished?For good soldiers who continue to fight with civilians as shields.
7.The Nanjing Safety Zone records that most of the Nanjing citizens have evacuated to the Nanjing Safety Zone (non-combat zones under international law).And The Japanese military did not attack the Nanjing Safe Zone.The Nanjing Safe Zone testified, but who did the Japanese army kill?
8. John Rabe wrote in his later Rabe diary that he witnessed the killing of civilians by the Japanese army with Mosel guns.Mr. Rabe, please check one thing.At that time, there was no Moselle gun in Japan.This is a Chinese gun. And the Moselle gun is your motherland.Isn't it manufactured in Germany?
9.Rabe's diary says that the body of a woman with bamboo stuck in her genital organs is scattered everywhere.In Japan, there are cases of rape and murder of women, but there is no custom of stabbing bamboo in the genital organs.What country's custom is this?And whose work is it?
10.Before marching to Nanjing, there was a big battle in Shanghai.Defeated Chinese troops carried out scorched soil operations.It is a withdrawal that sets fire to the streets, robs money and goods, rapes, and leaves nothing to be gained even if enemy soldiers occupy it.At the same time, soldiers can get spoils even though they are defeated.It was an operation carried out by the Qing army, which fought and fled to the Korean Peninsula during the Gapsin Incident.
11. Nanjing Safety Zone was also a place to grasp the population of Nanjing.War refugees and others kept resident records to evacuate to the Nanjing Safe Zone and immigrate.The population recorded just before the Japanese attack on Nanjing was 200,000 .The Japanese military seems to have killed civilians over the population.
12. China's first unified family register management began in 1958 with the Doorway Registration Ordinance.Until then, China's population had accumulated only what it had recorded in its own way in the administrative divisions of the region, but there was no unified management was carried out.What kind of resident records did the Nanjing Military Court adopt?
13. Fifty-nine thousand people died in the Great East Japan Earthquake. How can you figure out the number of deaths?This is common in other large-scale disasters.It's not a foolish way to count dead bodies or adopt rumors.The number of deaths + missing + number of survivors = the current number of residents will be deducted from the increase in the number of new residents due to migration.Then, when the number of missing people is confirmed to be dead, it moves on to the number of deaths.Counting the number of victims of the earthquake with the naked eye?It's impossible.
14. The Nanjing Safe Zone record increased to 250,000 people in January of the following month.The number of civilians over the population has increased by 50,000 in a month.What kind of magic did the Japanese Army use?
There are many contradictions about the Nanjing incident.In the first place, the Far East Military Tribunal held at the same time and the Nanjing Military Tribunal are completely different.
