Historian:

Yeah, of course you're leaving out what led up to the cut off of oil to Japan, their attacks on China. Have you ever heard of Manchuko? The Japanese Empire once controlled a good portion of China. They siezed it for it's resources. Ever hear of the "Greater South East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere"? It was the Japanese plan for taking over things like Indonesia's oil, etc. How about the "Rape of Nanking"? The Japanese military killed about as many people as the A-bombs did, but they did it up close and personal, usually with bayonets. And yes, they also raped women. But now you revisionists make it sound like Japan was just sitting there eating sushi and the big bad Imperialists attacked! Guess what, Japan was an Empire in every sense of the word. They still have an emperor today, though Hirohito had to renounce his divinity as one of the terms of the surrender.
