But you’ll find none of what you note reported in Japan; to this day they refuse to accept responsibility for their own atrocities during the war, and for what befell them as a result.
Their kids don’t even learn of it in school.
Hopefully, that's no longer true. In the 90s, the Japanese government finally ended its silence on the issue and acknowledged their role in Pearl Harbor and ordered that the school text books be changed to reflect Japan's role in starting WWII with the sneak attack on Pearl.
But, you are correct. Prior to that time, they disavowed any knowledge of the origins of WWI or the attack on PH. It used to be a source of very . . . . er, "spirited" debates during Japanese English classes.
