From the moment Japan set foot in China in the 1930s, it committed countless atrocities. From Nanjing to Wuhan, from monstrous medical experiments to the infamous ‘comfort women’, the Chinese endured terrible crimes that still shape relations between their countries today. However, there was one policy that caused more death and suffering than any other, one that is largely unknown in the West, one that the Chinese would give a simple, descriptive name: the Three-Alls - loot all, burn all, kill all.
Today on A Day In History, we’ll look at where this policy came from and what it meant for its millions of victims.
Atrocities before 1940
The Second Sino-Japanese War began in 1937 and dovetailed into the wider Second World War. Throughout these conflicts, Japan was known for its excessive brutality delivered to civilians and soldiers alike of all nations. A Japanese military immersed in ideas of its racial superiority, taught to despise so-called ‘weakness’ in enemies and non-combatants, and raised to give complete obedience to their superiors inevitably led to horrors for its enemies.
China knew this better than anyone else. The Japanese had been committing massacres and abuses across China from 1937 - Tianjin, Beijing, and Shanghai, for example, saw all manner of crimes. Of course, nothing compares to the six weeks of horror unleashed on Nanjing starting in December 1937 which left hundreds of thousands dead or raped.
Into 1938, the Japanese continued this pattern of war crimes. For example, during the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese authorized hundreds, if not thousands, of gas attacks, often on civilians, as they fought to capture the city from the Nationalist forces of Chang Kai-Shek. However, while the Nationalists were the main threat in China, Japan also had to deal with another problem: Communists.

As citizen of country once invaded/colonized by Japan. There were some words i heard from our elderly. On how japanese troops liked patroling (with vehicles), in specific search for little girls.
This channel just popped up in my feed, I clicked and thought “how does this only have 10k views?!”.. then realized it was just posted and you have over 500k subs lol
+me now
There's a fourth one which they sadly did r word all women 😢
¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹@@vergyl9969
The Japanese generations after the war know very little about the war because they don't teach them in schools or talk about it, they're not so much ashamed about their brutality but because they lost .
If they knew what do you want them to do
@@user-yw5te9qm7n, be regretful and maybe stop idolizing those war criminals like war heroes- which is exactly what Japan does.
The internet exists.
Actually that's. Or true, how long have you spent in the Japanese education system? 👀
Shame all around
an estimated 20,000,000 were killed in Asia by Japan’s reign I feel sorry for all who had to endure this torture
20M in China ALONE
@@user-td2jw9ze2c yes
How was that number estimated?
And yet they get told "Japan was fighting the west to protect south east Asia
Their Dead...
The name given to the era in which Hirohito was emperor; "Showa" means "Enlightened Peace". Quite an ironic title given all this.
Reminds me of the Religion of Peace, 60+ terrorists organizations professing the following of it's teachings lol
The Emperor was a wuss, that is why he was nearly assassinated by the pro militarist factions many times
Hideki Tojo called a lot of the shots but Japanese society as a whole was just as complacent and war mongering as the leaders…
This infamous Japanese policy of Three All Policy is mandatory teaching in China.
Wow. I've never heard of it before, al they wouldn't be the first in the history of war to have that directive.
if you keep looking to the past,you can't go forward
the now generation of both countries are smarter.both want peace
Except now the Japanese have so little knowledge of the past, they think they are the victims of WW2 lmao.
Where can I get that information? I'm very interested.
@@codtetrisexpertlevelgamer3231No
The novel "Dragon Seed" written in 40's was one of the few books that literally brought me to tears. After that I became interested in Chinese history. This part of history is extremely dark, and will change you if you do a deep dive.
I accept the challenge! thank you for the recommendation.
Google "Unit 731" if you want to plumb the darkest depths of those horrible times. You'll never look at Japan the same way again.
Im an Ex British Infantry soldier, and my grandfather was an Ex Merchart sailor in WW2, it was no secret he hated the Japanese but he never did tell me why, wouldn't even have anything that was made in Japan in his house.
My dad's older cousin served in the British Indian Army (they're from what's now Pakistan but were born during the Raj) and he and many others who served in the war against Japan all deeply disliked Japanese people and considered them dangerous hypocrites for their surface politeness covering up deep savagery.
He was a racist? What a cool secret your cool and innocent British father had!
@@nimblehuman damn that's harsh
@@KvngLeroy1 Harsh but true
@ileanaacacostaacosta1813 how? That's like judging Americans for what happened from the 1800s to 1970s
Worst of all is that the Japanese still do not learn about the past nor want to take responsibility
America dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan , the British invented concentration camps during the Boer war , Turkey genocided Armenians , Russian soldiers r*p** their way through Berlin , the R.A.F melted Women and babies into the asphalt in Dresden , Yugoslavian communists threw Italian soldiers off mountains...what's your point?
What exactly does it mean to take responsibility?
@@user-vw8it9oo8h To own, accept and teach one' own mistakes and misdeeds in at least an objective manner and be understanding of the victims. Instead Japan loves to talk about the 2 atomic bombs that had to be dropped before Japan finally accepted surrender as the Soviet campaign against them started to gain momentum too without telling why this all had to happen. Japan likes to teach that It was instrumental in the wave of independence struggles in Asia. Forgetting that Japan' s evil deeds made many Asians get organised to fight them first and thereafter did not want to be put under the old colonizers control
I believe that the most objective and responsible form of apology in international relations is probably compensation or a diplomatic treaty. Japan has compensated and apologized to the affected countries on terms mutually agreed upon. I don't think anyone has the right to complain 80 years from now that we don't have enough of that. Moreover, most of the people involved in both parties are no longer in this world. Furthermore, since Japan's educational system exists for the sake of the Japanese people who are responsible for the future of Japan, I do not believe that it should be influenced by the opinions of foreigners who have no responsibility for Japan's future.
@@user-vw8it9oo8hthats the problem
U just cant be objective when there were war crimes done on your people
Now, imagine one side actively denies their deeds, do not teach them in schools at all. The other side have old generation that went through that shyt, then current regime without a chance to went anywhere
The U.S. ignored Japan's crimes for political reasons.
It happened in Asia, not Europe.
Japan does not teach their crimes in schools.
They don't teach them why they were attacked by a nuclear bomb.
Japan only criticizes the U.S. for dropping nuclear bombs.
They did the same thing as Hitler, but their king, Hirohito, received no punishment.
Even now, the core of the Japanese government is the descendants of those who started the war.
China still feeds this to their people so they hate japan. None actually know that the japan they knew is long dead. Todays Japan couldn't even be recognized by people 80 years ago. The US made sure of that.
They executed Tojo
The democratic socialists of the U.S. were too busy using our taxes to fund Germany and Japan's war machine in hopes that it would keep us out of the war. Just like the wars Joe Biden is funding now.
@@user-td2jw9ze2cprobably because of the allied prisoners of war who died
I read somewhere that a former IJA soldier went to Nanjing several times, he's one of the few soldiers that openly admitted to the crimes committed, even assisting Chinese scholars to find more evidence of the crimes committed there. He died in 2006 from cancer
Additional, Japanese 737 troop did biological test with alive Chinese as the the samples.
Do you mean Unit 731?
Yes, unit 731.
@@dirkmolen9392 Yes. Thank you.
@@loaded2820 Thank you.
Chinese, Russians, Mongolians and many other POWs
Thank you for discussing this. Japan's warcrimes in World War 2 should not be forgotten. They were just as brutal as Germany and Italy
They are all members of the Genocidal 7 (G7 group) . US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, Italy and Japan.
I laugh when modern-day Japan tries to lecture China on Taiwan and the alleged 'genocide' of Chinese minorities.
This is how Japan teaches modern history in school:
"Chapter 8: World War 2. Nothing happened. End of chapter."
And to today the Japanese never apologized.
Getting a notification from this channel is basically getting a reminder of how shitty humanity has been lol
Past 15 years old , the nature of Man really shouldn't come as a suprise.
Sad, but true...
Awesome you mean
What do you think of nation that Deny God
Faith must be based on logical reasons
Nanjing was so terrible that the Nazis there were appalled and tried to save as many Chinese as they could. That's how bad it was.
These videos are definitely helping me with my 'preconceived biases' by letting me see clearer those who are crying out for international sympathies and those who are quietly placed in the background of society and told to "shush, suck up." and remain unrecognized.
THAT, to me, is where the real crime is. It's not balanced for the acknowledgment and attention, education, of the victims in other countries worldwide. Attention is a commodity given to specific groups that are favored by the Western world instead.
When Japan invaded the Australian colony of New Guinea they used the troops who had committed the Nanking Massacre. The Australians killed 95% of the invaders.
Actually I’ve always had an interest in what happened to those troops, I know plenty survived after the war but always wondered if the Allies came across them and I would be pleased to know if they got wiped out. I know the US came across one battalion in the Solomon Islands, and they would find photos of what they did in Nanking off their bodies.
Where can I read about this?
Japan did this throughout asia and the emperor wasn't even tried in tokyo trial
He must have laughed out the way to his deathbed.
@@wwbrenhe won't be laughing in hell
Tbf the emperor had little influence on the horrible atrocities, his only notable action was that he forcibly signed a peace deal with the americans so long as they keep the royal family intact. Given that the emperor was holy amongst the population it meant that there would be no resistance against americans which made the total surrender of the country peacefully. Its quite incredible since half of his war cabinets, who holds more power in those kind of things, still wants the war to continue and even staged a coup to stop the emperor
@@wwbrenthats because tojo was responsible for the troops
As far as I know, the emperor wasn't really "In command" . Japan was more like a military dictatorship at the time with a (on paper) absolute divine monarch that did not really know the full picture of what was going on
And people ask “Why the Nukes?” Well this is one of many reasons why.
God you Americans are more self centered than I thought
Why don't we say that to Iraq aswell for the inva- I mean operation to deter WMDs that supposedly were there
@@KGBSpyGeorgeCostanzaThats rich coming from someone who has KGB in their username. Its like someone putting YankeeGeneralUncleSam as their username. Just as pretentious I say.
So your take is, punish the other innocent civilian side because their soldiers commited those crimes? That's basically just as evil.
@@InquisitorXarius pretentious? Oooo big words coming from an arrogant individual who seems to justify deaths of civilians (yeah I know the Japanese did that too) but hey US gave a strike at military targets, not to mention how much regret Oppenheimer had
Now should I give you a tinfoil medal for your intelligence or a crayon certificate...because that's how much you are certified, to nothing
As a Chinese, I can never forget the crimes committed by the Japanese in China.
People hate the germans, but they Japanese were far more cruel
They were both pretty bad!!!

Japan may forget about their past, but their victims never will forget.
At times when I speak with my grandmother, she would sometimes talk about how she witnessed people being beaten, starved, forced to work, or downright executed. One of them being my great grandfather. His head was chopped by a Japanese officer because he disobeyed the officer due to him not wanting to leave his family.
Long time ago, the Burmese military leaders went to Japan for a military training. Now the Burmese military is doing the same thing to its own citizens.

Try to get a Japanese national to talk about this. It's nearly impossible because they aren't taught it.
The Japanese victim mentality is incredible
The truth should always be revealed! Great video! 👍
I will not be able to watch,, why, cause I can’t forget
China still has a bone to pick with Japan
But the Japanese people today didn’t invade China.
We won’t forget nor my children. I hate we went in and rebuilt them,, whenever will we learn
You didn't. America did.
America essentially prevented another potential failed painter to rise up in japan and start another global conflict, something that the brits and the frenchies failed to do. You and your children should be thankful
This is very sad to hear about this. This is a very dark chapter of history to touch. WWII in China was a very dark and scary place to be at during the time period. The Japanese committed a lot of war crimes and military terror throughout China and Asia. It’s very sad what war can do to all of us. I’m Chinese and I love, care, and respect Japanese people and culture. I don’t like the fact that some Japanese government refuse to acknowledge some of the atrocities. Remember all of us, the best of humanity is in a life of peace. The world isn’t a perfect place, but only peace is the real solution for all of humanity to live in this planet.
you don't have to respect them at all for stealing from you and then pretending they came up with everything asian.
@@HandiasTobil Look, you cannot punish a whole group of people for some people in their country did. If you keep on showing resentment or hate towards them, what good would it do for you. It’s best to remember to look at the bright side of things but always remember what happens to your own people so it would not happen again.
@@bigkidd2147 peace only works if both side seeks it. they're rearming again. never get fooled into thinking they've ever changed just because they have some anime and manga.
@@HandiasTobil Yes, peace does work if both sides work for it. However, decades have gone by and things changed over the years. Japan does have Manga and Anime but they’re not using it as propaganda rather it’s part of an entertainment industry. China became communist after the civil war resumed with the Communist conquering Mainland China. Japan signed a treaty at the end of the Second World War promising to dismantle its military and to never be an aggressor again. Today, the Chinese government has threatened so many times of invading Taiwan and they even went as far as threatening other nations that try to help out Taiwan. Japan even claimed that they would have to defend Taiwan because a Taiwanese Emergency is a Japanese Emergency. Yes Japan doesn’t fully acknowledge its war crimes and that should not be excused, however, today’s Japan isn’t driven by extreme nationalism full of hatred towards other people. Also Japan is rearming due to Chinese and North Korean military aggression
Damn right
Tribalism is a pain.
How about a video about the atrocities committed by the Allies and Soviets?
this isnt the first time of learning the history if imperial japan, but never the less i still shudder that there was a time where people actually do shit like this, activly seeking to commit war crimes without batting a eye...
They still do.
...and then spend the next 9 decades denying they did any of it. Truly vile.
My great grandfather was a KMT drill master who went missing in 1938 during the canton operation. my grandfather's final wish was to discover great grandfather's remains and bring him home, but he never did. Do I detest the Japanese? NO !But will I travel to China if Japan invades again?YES!
Diabolical Past ? I think every country has at least one in their history.
Good video.
That is an army motto from the 1600s, the Royal family was from Manchuria.
Read Irish Chiang’s book “The R*pe of Nanjing”. She unalived herself because of what she discovered! Then tell me if you still feel as badly about the nukes that ended the war.
I don't. At all. This is considering, that, the civillians were in complete support of their military's atrocities. Not a single Japanese soul protested. Not only that, nearly all of the modern day Japanese people refuse to learn their dark history of WWII. They choose to be in ignorance and, their victim mentality is literally on a whole different level!
Hope your day is well day in history
the title should be "The past japan has FORGOTTEN"

There’s many reasons the United never executed Hirohito.
1. He was never in charge of the empire, that was the Shogun, Hideki Tojo. The emperors of Japan were always figureheads.
2. Had they executed him, the United States saw Japan becoming an ally of the Soviet Union and that would mean it’d have far less naval power in the Pacific.
Number 1 has been proven false. He was well aware and had voting and approval power. He approved the use of chemical weapons dozens of times. Yes, he was strong armed by the military and sat more idly compared to them but he was by no means a figurehead. He was the one that broke the tie to surrender so he wasn’t entirely powerless.
Also, Hideki Tojo was not a shogun but the prime minister. He also did not become prime minister until 1941. The Three Alls policy discussed in this video (which was also encouraged and signed off by Emperor Hirohito) happened in 1940 so Tojo cannot be blamed for it. Please get your facts straight before sharing wrong information and misinforming others.
@@jamestonbellajo He was powerful compared to the common citizen, yes. In the face of high ranking military officials, he was nothing. Japan was hardly different from Europe when it came to monarchies.
@@RedCommunistDragonnope. That’s incorrect. There are plenty of sources that show that he had awareness and authority over war crimes committed. Oxford University, The New York Times, Spectator, University of Washington, National WWII Museum, Asia Pacific Journal, to name a few. Even this video says Hirohito signed off on dealing with communists in Northern China.
You already presented a lot of wrong information and have been proven wrong. Unless you can bring real sources, evaluate your knowledge and then come back to have an actual factual discussion. There is no credible source that says Hirohito was just a figurehead. That was just propaganda that came from Douglas MacArthur to protect Hirohito.
@@jamestonbellajoTojo was still the one in charge anyways

@@jewel65one time lol
Frankly speaking, this is the root cause of Japan's imperialism. Japan used to protect itself from foreign enemies through isolation, but was forced to open its borders to the U.S., which forced it to defend itself with military force. And as you can see from the international situation at that time, almost all Asian countries except Japan were colonies of the West. And since Japan had no resources, it had no choice but to become an imperialist itself in order to defend itself. And it made sense for Japan to acquire nearby Korea and Manchuria. I'm not justifying colonial rule, but back then, when many Great Powers also had colonies, it was almost legalized to acquire colonies.
they raped, pillaged, and killed all though Asia this comment sounds uneducated and ignorant
japan have the same fate as murica, their native is almost eradicate because the colonists, murica have Indians, japan have Ainu.
And to think their are even more atrocities being committed in Gaza at this very moment. We have learned nothing!

It’s a complex story, so Hirohito did not like communism. Chiang Kai Shek also did not like communism. Never meeting or having an arrangement to touch basis, they didn’t know they had the same ideals. The people of Japan went against the emperor’s command and invaded China according to the way they felt against the emperor’s wishes. Hirohito kind of got dragged into invading China. Then when they touched the land for invasion they had to fight Sheks army, but the communists were inward. Chiang Kai Sheks army got sandwiched by the communist to the west and the Japanese to the east. It’s quite interesting because if Hirohito and Chiang Kai Shek just had a conversation they could have probably organized something against the communist. Chiang Kai Shek was trained by the Japanese military, like I said it’s a complex story.
Tbf the japanese war cabinet is not united at all. The army and the navy have different goals that are in conflict with one another. It was the IJA that invaded manchuria and eventually the entire china WITHOUT the orders from Tokyo. Its the reason why only the navy had the shiny toys like the zero's and new ships and thats because they were favored by Tokyo and why the IJA had terrible tanks and guns.
Yeah, that’s why it’s hard to blame Japan as a whole for the war crimes. Time has passed, forgiveness is a good thing.
@@TheLastRockNRollerAlive Ehhh no both the IJN and IJA did horrible things so both of them shares the responsibility. Forgive is good IF you actually apologized which japan has yet to do.

Don’t forget that the Japanese government saw how China was treated by Europe( mainly Great Britain). They realized they needed to make drastic changes if they didn’t want to suffer the same fate
Making drastic changes by slaughtering and aggressing another nation the same as what the Europeans has done to China? Some twisted excuses you are giving them
No excuse for the atrocities they committed.
@@wwbrenof course not, there is never an excuse for any bad behavior.
Japan invaded China WITH the European powers. Imperial China refused to modernise under Empress Cixi, Imperial Japan leapt at it.
Remember, the fault of the Ancestors should not be inherited by the current generation of Japanese, so don't let your rage cloud your judgement.
not if the current generation of Japanese stop worshipping those war criminals. Unfortunately, the current generation of Japanese is guilty of that.
I LOVE JAPAN...BUT I JUST HOPE THEIR GOVT WOULD OWN UP TO THEIR CRIMES... THERE ARE STILL EXTREME RIGHTS GROUPS WHO YEARLY DEMONSTRATE BEFORE THE AMERICAN EMBASSY FOR THE NUKES, OUTRIGHT IGNORING WHAT THE IJM DID
Then no wonder the young/future generations will never learn from their ancestors. Just look at their history text books today, and denials are in their teaching.
Agreed but that really only applies if the current generation is aware of what their ancestors did so they are not doomed to repeat it. This is not the case in Japan as its population is largely unaware of the suffering its empire caused.

I do not descend from colonial Europeans. I know my ancestry. I and other average Americans never murdered or raped Indians or Middle Eastern women.
Since you foreigners believe you know everything about us everyday Americans, here is a challenge. Name 5 personality traits about me and 5 things I like to do.
Japan can NEVER forget what they had done in WW2, which was WORST than what The Nazis did in WW2.
What's even more INFURIATING is the fact that Japan had ALWAYS denied the atrocities they committed during WW2
And then one day the sun rose for a second time on the morning of August 6 1945.
Eye balls went a busting. Flesh burnt down the the bone. The rain that day was black and caused a slow agonizing pain for years.
Some were buried alive that day as the house above them crushed them slowly to death. The cries for help and asking, "Why? why me? What evil did I do?" were heard throughout the day and into the night. Until silence. Many would suffer a slow agonizing death. And then suffocate a slow death in total darkness.
"Why? Why me?"
The lucky ones just disappeared in a flash only to stand before their Gods to explain themselves.
