World War 2

xunni SG

Everyone says that Japan, Germany and Italy were at fault and they were the ones who caused world war 2 and demanded that they apologise.

But is it really entirely their fault? Didn't America and Britain at fault too?

The foreign countries like America and Britain went around colonising and bullying weaker countries. When Japan became strong and wanted to do the same too, America tried to stop Japan from doing so even to the extent of trying to restrict oil supply to Japan so that without oil Japan's industry will all just stop functioning.

This caused Japan to use military force to get what they want which lead to world war 2.

For Germany, they lost World War 1 and it wasn't entirely Germany's fault for causing World War 1. They were than punished heavily by the victors, taking away all their colonies and making them pay heavy compensation for war damages.

This caused Germany to want to take revenge which resulted in World War 2.

How about the western countries who bullied China in the past? Did they apologise for their crimes? No!

So when all these so called self righteous countries makes Germany, Japan and Italy apologise for World War 2 while they themself pretent to play the nice guy, aren't they being hypocrite?

why dig out something that people want to forget? its the past.. we learn from it .. and not repeat it.. and pushing the blame on whoever started the war dont help revive the millions died during the holocaust and as casualties of the war.

Thou art right.

Me thinks just about the same, just that never say only. =P

Interesting how history textbooks omit whatever Westerners did to China in the past, except for "seeking new trade routes" and "missionary work" eh? Of course must add that Germany did take part in a small portion of China's bullying.

Or Allied war crimes during and after WW2. Never heard/read about it, no? =\

So long as he's not in the West.

If not, there's just his will to discuss, and no more. =\

they won the war, that pretty much gives them the right to do anything they want.

S.H. SG

Yes, it's common sense that the winners have their way.

why don't u said that the japs did not kill enough chinese?

Short Ninja SG

Go to Mustapha and buy the whole World War 2 series on VCD.Just don't read the English subtitles and you should be ok.

xunni SG

why don't u said that the japs did not kill enough chinese?

In fact Japs lost the war because they overstrectched themself. If they had just concentrated on attacking China only and not do stupid things like attacking America too, they probably will be able to conquer the entire china and kill all the chinese

If Pearl harbor werent hit America would have still entered the pacific war, Japan wanted a head start.

Nikar 3 SG

not possible leh.....even if they can win fights with china, they cannot be able to conquer entire china. during WWII, even at their peak of power, japan only managed to capture a few cities in china (like less than 1% of the area of china) and we all know china has more than a thousand cities.

further more, say, if japan conquers china, their fate will be like the american soldiers in Iraq and Afganhistan, with no end to the war in sight, as the bilions of chinese will rise up non-stop and the fighting can drag on till eternity.

even russia has never been conquered by germany, only defeated in some cities.

No. America did not want to enter the war. They were busy selling weapons to all the countries involved in the war and they were making so much money.

If they were to enter the war, they gain nothing. They will only end up having lots of war casualities and spending billions of dollars for nothing.

Compare with them not getting onvolved and just sell weapons to these countries.

If you are America which will you chose?

During World War 2, China did not have billions of people like now. even today China only got 1 billion plus people.

During World War 2 I think they roughly have 500 million people.

Because Japan fought too many wars at the same time so they can't concentrate their forces when fighting with China so they only managed to conquer a few cities.

If they had just attack China and concentrate their forces, they might be able to conquer the entire china

same goes to the german..attacking USSR was a grave mistake...greed alway start with winning and end with loosing

If i am american, i choose to create war, stir around to create conflict, so that countries will start buy weapons from me, even just to upgrade their defences capabilities.

no lah, still not possible.

i mean, look at Japan vs. Singapore last time.

they might have conquer SG but still got so many resistance forces rising up and giving them hell. Replace SG with China in the picture and you get the idea.

a country is truly conquered only when there's stability and peace throughout and after the invader's government has full control of that newly conquered country.

case in example, USA is an example of a conquered country.

the whites from Europe came to USA and conquered the natives there.

which makes one wonder why do Japan want to attack China.

To conquer the entire China and govern them? If thats the case when Japan conquered cities of china, they should govern the people with kindness to win them over. But they did not do so. What they did was to rape the girls and kill the guys.

Maybe Japan's motive was not to conquer the entire china but just to conquer a few cities, snatch the money, weapons and anything else that is so benefits to them, rape the girls and kill the guys t enjoy themself.
