How Japan can pretend this wasn’t happening is weird. Do they even teach their kids about WW2?
No, they teach their kids that WWII began on August 6, 1945. All which had gone on before was armed interference by western devils in Japan’s “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere”
What they teach their kids about WWII is entirely at odds with the truth. You ought to research this. You’ll be surprised.
