    Not executing Hirohito was purely political. One, by letting him remain the spiritual leader of Japan kept the country peaceful and two, Hirohito was anti-communist and more than anything, his dislike for the communists made him an important ally to the West.

      We had to "bear the unbearable" on that one. The one guarantee that the Nipponese would stand down was agreeing to Hirohito retaining his throne and him addressing his subjects to surrender. "Bear the unbearable" as he said. Besides, Tojo was calling all the shots in the war. Hirohito wasn't an aggressive guy, quite weak in fact, not some badass samurai type and really didn't get involved in what f#ckery Tojo was up to or get in his face on how he was conducting the war. He should have, since Tojo was sending the entire country to destruction. Hirohito could've stopped Tojo, just told him to commit seppuku, but was too weak willed and clearly a total pussy. You're the emperor, act like one you wuss.

    The emperor didn't hang but over 900 others did. The new constitution was completely created by US occupiers & forced through; military leaders had to surrender all over Asia in person with all weaponry destroyed; all forces abandoned their posts to return home to much unemployment, homelessness & near starvation; the empire was dismantled with hegemony limited to the home islands; & MacArthur ran occupied Japan for 4 years & controlled the emperor's movements. Most of us know that is defeat.

    148 Koreans were convicted of Class B and C war crimes, 23 of whom were sentenced to death including Korean prison guards who were particularly notorious for their brutality during the war.
    Justice Bert Röling, who represented the Netherlands at the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, noted that "many of the commanders and guards in POW camps were Koreans - the Japanese apparently did not trust them as soldiers - and it is said that they were sometimes far more cruel than the Japanese."

    • @JBigjake
      @JBigjake 5 лет назад +5

      I’ve heard that the Koreans were given a choice between joining the army or being camp guards. Since Koreans were themselves treated poorly by Japan, most probably expected to be cannon fodder in the army, so they chose to be guards. Unfortunately, many chose brutality, perhaps to impress their Japanese officers, perhaps because they knew no better.

    • @demef758
      @demef758 4 года назад

      I think this is one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations. Like being forced to kill your spouse or be killed yourself. Some situations thrust on you during war are lose-lose propositions. Then afterwards, you have the victors condemning you for the no-win decisions you had to make. Bottom line is that during a war, you do everything you can just to stay alive.
