During World War II, the Japanese army committed various war crimes during their occupation of Singapore, including the Sook Ching Massacre, the abuse and killing of British and Australian prisoners of war, forcing Malay, Chinese and Eurasian women to serve as sex slaves, and forcibly requisitioning food supplies that led to widespread famine, among others.
On August 15, the 34th year of the Republic of China (1945 AD), after the Japanese Emperor publicly admitted defeat and announced unconditional surrender, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek immediately delivered a world-renowned victory speech that marked the end of World War II.
This is a brief biography of Japanese Navy Admiral Shigeyoshi Inoue, covering his political stance during World War II, military decisions (especially the Bombing of Chongqing), and his post-war life and statements on 'atonement.' The article highlights the historical contradiction between his 'pro-British-American' background and his implementation of indiscriminate bombing during the Bombing of Chongqing, citing criticism from the invaded people that he never apologized for the slaughter of Chinese civilians.
This article aims to clarify misconceptions about the 'Taipei Air Raid' (May 31, 1945). The author finds it absurd that Taiwan independence advocates use the air raid to criticize the KMT as the enemy of the Taiwanese people. The article points out that Taipei's population density was low and buildings were scattered at the time, and the air raid primarily targeted the political center of the Japanese colonial government during the **Japanese Occupation Era**. By comparing bombing maps with Allied forces' actual photos, the author argues that the bomb impacts were concentrated and precise, not a dense bombardment of civilian areas as rumored. Furthermore, due to the existing early warning system and the prior withdrawal of Japanese forces, civilian casualties were far lower than claimed, and those who remained in Taipei were mostly 'High-Grade Imperial Subjects' who could have taken shelter in advance.
