Japanese atrocities in WW2 go deep. Way deeper.

Like the Germans- we pardoned many of those responsible in exchange that they share their research. Many were given government or high ranking corporate jobs in the US, and many things we enjoy everyday cake from that research. The Allies also did some horrible things in the war. Nothing quite on the same scale- but it was a total war, and a brutal one. Many countries including the US have largely hidden or erased the shameful parts of their pasts and instead tried to focus on heroism and the “good” things they did in the war. Children educated in any one country generally receive bias and slanted accounts- with some countries like China being particularly bad on revisionist history. We must never forge. What everyone did in the war. Good and bad. It was the absolute best and worst of humanity.
