Japan vs Germany



The government class had to read a few blogs that Mr. Cutler had found. The blogs were about WWII time an how cruel the Japanese and the Germans were to their prisoners. The blogs that I read really emphasized how large scale the Germans were compared to the Japanese, but on the other hand the blogs also emphasized how more cruel the Japanese were.

                When people think about WWII they think about the Germans fighting, but the Japanese are often over looked when they did things that were worse. The two major differences that the information that we read about was the cruelty and the size. I believe that Germany was a very large scale mass execution zone for the prisoners that were there. Japan I believe was still bad but it wasn't on the level of Germany in size. Japan I believe was the crueler out of the two. Germany had Dr. Death that liked to experiment on the prisoners. Now in Japan a very similar thing was taking place accept more people were doing it. It was ok for the Japanese to do this because the doctors were finding different and more advance weapons that Japan later could on the front of their armies.


                When the war was over the two nations still had some differences one was how well did they fare after the war. Japan got off Scot free, because the United States had to but in and say that if the U.S. would obtain all of the information that the Japanese’s had on biological warfare we would give them pardon. Germany on the other hand didn't fare so good they had to pay for their war crimes. Another theory that I created was that maybe that the U.S. thought that Germany was worse because the people that they were killing were mostly white, while over in japan they were killing Chinese. It makes me wonder what were all of the reasons for the pardoning and the fulfillment of justice.
