japanese revisionism for you, ryosuke
"the only option to Roosevelt, who had been moving forward with his "plan vicotry," was to use embargoes to force resource-poor japan into war. the US economy made a complete recovery once the americans entered the war."
Taken from the Yasukuni War History Museum in Tokyo. I went through with one of my friends, and we had to laugh at just how slanted the whole thing was. Laugh, or cry over the absurdity. [b]According to the text in the museum, the Japanese "expanded their defensive concerns" into Korea, helped "establish order and control" in China, and then were "forced into war" by the war-hungry American government. That whole Axis power thing is barely mentioned, and forget about trying to find anything that would portray the Japanese as something other than a peaceful people minding their own business in the Pacific. I mean, every country puts their own slant on history (while I learned that the American Revolution was a great act of freedom, I'm sure in Britain it's regarded as "those ungrateful little punks starting shit"), but the level of denial and disregard here was just outstanding.
This is actually why a lot of people are still really upset at Japan.
