@ALSO-RAN ! That's the problem with cancer, it's unpredictable; even now with everything that we know. Take my mom's dad, he has colon cancer, was expected to live for 6 months, then the cancer just stabilised, and he is likely to die of natural causes before the cancer becomes deadly. It happens, and that is with modern diagnostics in a modern canadian clinic, not a prison doctor in japan in 1950.

@ALSO-RAN ! Why would you want to sue? The reason that you can't is that most nations have some form of good samaritan law, you cannot sue someone for trying to do the best that they can. There is only a possible case if someone involved willfully caused harm or in cases of egregious negligence. Plus if doctors were under threat of lawsuit, they would never try anything new and medicine would get stuck or severely hampered.

You should see Sweden, where "life imprisonment" roughly equals 20 years maximum. But you are normally released within the first 50% of your time serving (based off your behaviour). So 7 years is what you can expect if you get such a sentence here :) The difference is ofcourse, the level of crime. *Litteral war atrocities* vs some random gang violence .... pretty much

Omg that is dark 🤣🤣🤣

yeah. japan didn't accept the full consequences

@Cure4Living On the other hand its was mostly an arbitrary showtrial, as far as im aware Japanenes leaders was put on trial based on treaties which Japan didnt signed at that point (for example Japan didnt signed the Geneva Convention if i know it right, but check me on that). Second, both the Nürnberg and the Tokyo Trials was unprecedented both before and after - and for a good reason, up until that point nobody had the vigor to judge a nation for the same things their commited throughout history. For example, the romanian voivode's did far worst thing than the Japanese ever did in Nanjing (and i didnt want to be disrespectful with them, but its a fact, and unlike the Nanjing massacre Vlad Tepes atrocities was ordered from the highest place possible while he Nanjing one was started with the ordinary soldier and the high ups responsible only for covering it up, not enforcing discipline etc. - and i mentioned only 1 European Monarch from 1 European nation - even the Belgians was not held accountable for what their are done in Kongo for example). Second, allowing the Soviet Union to be judge of such crimes are beyond laughter, the Soviets did the exact same thing and even worst before, during and after WW2 than the Japanese did - including human experiments in prisoners (both political and PoW's). Even if the rest of the world turned a blind eye what the Soviets did, we here in Post-communist Europe didnt. Third, it was de facto the exact opposite of a traditional trial - the defendants was de facto guilty from the get go in the eye of the judges until their proven their innocence. Both trial judged the defendants based on laws which didnt existed up until the trials itself (for example, Crimes against Humanity or the most ridicolous one: Crimes against Peace - the Treaties around Paris and the Treaty of Versailles are count as Crime against Peace for example? Just because my country - Hungary - was didnt had ANY choice left than sooner or later go to war again, simply because the Treaty was a death sentence for an entire nation at that time - just to show what am i talking about: we talking about a nation, which lost 2/3 of its territory, all of its natural resources, surounded by hostile nations which goal was to wipe the remnant of it of the map (and their even made a military and economical alliance with each other to achieve this goal - the so called Small-Entente), putting military restrictions so ridiculous to the point where even Lichtenstein could defeat the army with no sweat (abilizied the army only had sticks to give for the population to fend them self), the ethnic hungarians was prosecuted in the hostile areas for beeing hungarians and the list goes on - making such a scenario is not crime against peace itself for example? And we talking about a SINGLE treaty now, the rest of the is just as ridiculous). Both the Nürnberg and Tokyo Trials are nothing more than a showtrial made to show the rest of the world what happen if someone dare to go against the will of the arbiters of the world and even dare to challenge their dominance (and rebel against their tyranny). Nothing more, nothing less - its nothing have to do with war crimes.

@@GentlemanBystander in hindsight it would seem

Tojo: I see this as an absolute win!

Vile stuff.

Some of the tests have been described as "psychopathically sadistic, with no conceivable military application". For example, one experiment documented the time it took for three-day-old babies to freeze to death. Naoji Uezono, a member of Unit 731, described in a 1980s interview a grisly scene where Yoshimura had "two naked men put in an area 40-50 degrees below zero and researchers filmed the whole process until [the subjects] died. [The subjects] suffered such agony they were digging their nails into each other's flesh".[60] Yoshimura's lack of remorse was evident in an article he wrote for the Journal Of Japanese Physiology in 1950 in which he admitted to using 20 children and a three-day-old infant in experiments which exposed them to zero-degree-celsius ice and salt water.[61] Although this article drew criticism, Yoshimura denied any guilt when contacted by a reporter from the Mainichi Shimbun.

He pressed polish prime minister to agree with Stalin's Red Army occupying eastern Poland. 4. He used SAS to cover up Soviets' war crimes of Katyn Massacre and used british media to spread Stalin's propaganda about it. 5. He also covered up investigation of the Gibraltar catastrophe in which polish prime minister Sikorski died. MI5 files regarding this incident were classified for 50 years and recently this period was prolonged by another 50 years. 6. He ordered carpet bombing of Dresden in 1945 which is war crime in its own right. 7. Finally when soviet government in occupied Poland after WWII arrested and accused polish war heroes (including Witold Pilecki) of collaboration with Na**s he didn't say a f**king word. Most of these things are from the polish perspective, we could probably find other nations having "complaints" against british gangster as well.

The US government hired Unit 731's Shiro Ishii for fabricating biological weapons against the Korean civilian population but they still failed at taking the entire peninsule. After the end of the ocupation, America decided Japan was its new ally in democracy on Asia, despite it was and still is an authoritarian state ruled by the same elite from the war.

This made me extremely angry too, even if you may have not fought "hard enough" if you resign then you forfeit the power that you have to continuously try to stop those crimes from happening.

I agree with you, but on the other hand allied committed warcrimes for which they were never sentenced. Worst of all allies were the soviets, but the americans also commited atrocities, that noone talks about. First there we have the targeted carpet bombing of civilians an cultural heritage, for example they bombed Wuerzburg to ashes because over their actual target, an industrial district in the nearby town of Schweinfurt, were clouds, and they didn't want to go back home with the bombs, so they just dumped them on Wuerzburg, which was not only a purely civil target, but also one of the architecturally and culturally richest cities in germany. But there are also many cases of american soldiers raping german women, and in Offingen for example american troops entered a military hospital and shot all the wounded soldiers in their beds. The last two might not have been ordered/authorized by the high command, but nevertheless noone has ever been punished for these.

The sad tragic Irony: Those Japanese invaders were taking jobs away from native Warlords, Nationalist, and Communist factions! Regrettably China was ready and willing to massacre millions of Chinese. After WW2 the killing continued on.

@@StAngerNo1 Thing is, that fact does not rationalized the attrocities commited by the Japanese army though :/ I mean it is unjustified in its own respect, but is a completely seperate issue entirely. Though it is frustrating that not all who were guilty were trialed, the allies did win the war, and as as how Mr Churchill stated the frustrating fact, "history is written by the victors."

@@guanbrandon7700 Yeah I don't disagree with you. My point was that it is not uncommon that crimials of war get off much more mildly than they should.

@@guanbrandon7700 Churchill's quote is right, but I guess he expressed with any frustration. If at all, he must have been enthralled when he said it. If we stay making a list of the atrocities perpetuated by him, the list will exceed that of all war criminals till date.

And the monarch was responsible for the leadership and political leading up to the war

and then thrawn slaps darth vader on the helmet

That is because they changed the premise of the offences they were accused of. Instead of focusing on the atrocities they committed in war, they manipulated their rhetoric to focus instead on the reasons for the outbreak of war instead. Even if it were true that the outbreak of war was caused in chief by external factors, that does not pardon them for the war crimes they committed in the duration of the war.

@@LordDim1 No, the flag in this video is called beiyang flag and it’s used when communists and nationalist party of China(kmt) joined to fight Qing dynasty, the correct flag is supposed to be nationalist flag ( “blue sky, white sun and red ground” flag)which is the flag that republic of China is using.

This is not considered an argument against death sentence though, you see, when the prosecutors want someone tried, both police (or army in this case) will make sure the suspect doesn't commit suicide. Suicide is for those who know the severity of their crimes and are big p-ssies to face a court that is full of evidence against them. Tojo wanted to take the easy way out, where he would get away from being tried and from facing the heinous war crimes he committed.

@@antonischatz.2133 you end up dead either way bruh

@@antonischatz.2133most people would rather have the world have a slightly better view of them when they die. Plus trials are a pain.

And is for a good reason

They killed more then the Nazis did actually.

@@jasonator69er I mean it was 1 million less but close enough

French indochina was under japanese control so it makes sense

Exactly what I was thinking. This is probably the reason their sentences were shorter.

Yeah that strategy was acutally really good, shiting the spotlight from the shit you have done to the things the accuser has done is pretty smart.

I mean, it's literally true though, Why did Japan change from Isolationism? This defense will work for CCP in the future too.

Yeah but it does not excuse what they did in the naking massacare and the labs. In the end those same western powers ended up covering japans crimes and became allies with them

They got caught and punished, tarnishing their families honor by surrender and chastised without honorable death by combat or war

You're being cringy

A future for all is only possible in communism

Proof that the court was not really impartial?

Ye but westerners are dumbos.

So what if the current prime ministers grandfather was a war criminal? Judge someone on their own actions, not those of their family, especially when they weren't even alive at the time.

@@Tinfoil_Hardhat that doesnt work for Japan when family heritage means everything for them. I can guarentee you hes proud of his grandfather's past

@@laa0fa502 Or he sees it as a stain on his family heritage. We wouldn't know, and therefor shouldn't make assumptions

@@Tinfoil_Hardhat no. We do know. Its japan. They are proud of it. I have studied WW2 and the Japanese peoples approach to war almost my entire life. Why would they be ashamed of that? He did a lot to help Japan and that's alll they care about

@@laa0fa502 You don't know. Just because a general culture acts a specific way, that doesn't mean that everyone shares the same views. You can only make assumptions, which is worthless.

There was nothing to apologise for, technically. They gave the US what they wanted so they got away. Although I suppose they could apologise to the scientific community for being terrible scientists

My dad's Chinese and has a PhD in genetics. He said that these results leapt science 50+ years forward. Sad, but necessary. If we had human testing, science would be moving faster than a jet engine(not that I'm advocating for it).

@@ethanchen4504 So exactly would testing humans and disregarding safety practices be helping us move faster than a jet engine? It seems a bit redundant for you to say it leaped science 50 years plus especially when are this vague about it. Can yo back any of those statements up? just curious.

@@humbleopionist4366 I never said it. My PhD dad did XD I'd have to ask him. A great deal of knowledge we know of twins in general are thanks to Nazis. Also, it's blatantly obvious that ethics holds back progress, for the benefit of the masses of course. It's just that you shouldn't think of an idiot dosing someone with mystery powder in the name of "science".

@@ethanchen4504 You did say it by saying it in the comment section which means you obviously said it but people like the angel of death Josef Mengele were the primary contributors for this research and not the Nazis the "geniuses officers were in the end responsible for the research not the nazis. The nazis also if you aren't aware have all or most of their data relating to different races skewed because they base believed that all others who were non Aryan were inferior so you are misattributing scientific progress to the wrong party here.

I mean, Japan is the most culturally influential country in Asia, so in a way that is a cultural win.

Its funny that the USA basaiclly caused anime to exist because they wanted to reform japan
