you are all correct with things like that but this is when facts escape people and scapegoats arrive.

When Japan became a massive power in the 20s and 30s they ran out of resources, the country of manchuria was invaded by the japanese army to get more resources. the japanese were allready being appressed by america and britain.... acts where passed saying 3 japanese shipscan be made for every 5 of americas and 5 of britains.

The growing rift between china and japan was made worst when americaa supplied china with arms and cut of trade with japan. The emperor of japan wanted peace but the army was a renegade army who was commanded by its generals not the emperor and the people of japan.

the japanese ARMY nopt japanese PEOPLE invaded china, so america gave more and more to china. America was blocking off the paciffic which the japanese wanted to expand into, this was criticised to by all saying that the japanese where greedy... who said that america deseved pearl harbour, wake island the phillipines, midway and more.

it got to a point when the japanese navy had only one way of taking more of the pacific... destroying the american pacific fleet. i wont tell all about the build up to pearl harbour beacuse you should know it... anyway americas pacific fleet lost alot of destroyers and battleships and arounmd 300 aircraft but not the aircraft carriers which where on a trainning mission thing. anyway britain lost singapore due to japanese invasion and bad things happend to the indians , gurkhas, canadian, new zealand, australian and british troops staioned there.
The JAPANESE ARMY did these bad things not the Japanese back in japan. anyway the brave marines which they where did a campaign of island hopping taking back ht welost paciffic with heavy casulties whilst at the same time the commonwealth where fighting in burma.....( shock horror yes it wasnt just the marines who beat the japanese, yes john wayne the hero who got himself drafted out of the army to pursue his acting carrer as a hero whilst people like robert mithchum, james stewart ( who volunteered as a bomber pilot) and Richard Todd who parachute with the 6th airborne at normandy.

anyway my point is thatnot all the japanese did bad things like not all the germans did, im not condoing the actions by the japanese army but you must remember that its not all that are bad.. and that not only thr great america which i do like won the war, by my count they enterd in 1941 not posting troops into europe until 1942 where as the british commonwealth, france, greece, norway, belgium,holland and alot more in from 1939.
