Why were the Japanese so fanatical during WW2?Germans and Japanese were ideologically motivated, but Germans had no problem surrendering, while Japanese fought to the last man.By June of 1944, there were 569 Japanese prisoners of war in American custody. By June 1944, the United States held approximately 371,000 German prisoners of war across its domestic camp system.
>>18752826It's because japs, at the end of the day, are still bugmen. They do things exceedingly well. Fighting, dying, hating, crying. It's why skilled Oriental musicians are credited as "most professional." But the bugman is also incapable of love, or understanding deeper meaning behind what they do. It's purely mathematical. It just so happens that math is a consistent, universal language.
The Japanese were propagandized and do believing not the Americans were ruthless monsters that would commit unspeakable acts of horror onto Japanese soldiers. The Germans, already fighting the Soviets understood that the Americans were the safer option to surrender to

>>18752923the Japanese only started to flip out in the 1920s when the Western powers didn't view them as equals and they were outraged at the 1924 immigration act banning Japanese emigration to the US.
>>18753015Japan’s Pearl Harbor attack and pacific strategy was a copy and paste of their success during the Russo-Japanese War. Japan during WW1 had already sent harsh terms to China, attempting to make it a virtual protectorate during WW1. Japan’s foreign policy ambitions followed its historical trends. Only supercharged due to the power of militarists post Great Depression, and their belief that securing more land was the solution to it.

>>18753225>Japanese soldiers in mainland Asia who wanted to continue fighting the filthy Occidentals usually just took up arms for the budding anti-colonial insurgents like the Viet Minh or in the Chinese Civil War.No they did not voluntarily take up arms in China Contrary to your misconception, neither the Communists nor KMT in China retained Japanese combat soldiers to fight in the civil war, neither voluntary nor forced.Communist Party of China and KMT central army only retained non-combat personnel like nurses and technicians, who were mostly just civilians working for the Japanese army.Only one warlord retained Japanese combat soldiers, Yan Xishan, and it was not even voluntary on part of the Japanese footsoldiers, the commanding Japanese general in Taiyuan decided for them after Yan Xishan sought to recruit him. It was one Japanese unit of 10,000 and their general decided for themThese Japanese only fought in battle of Taiyuan and did not fight anywhere outside of Shanxi, which was Yan Xishan's base.These Japanese were also mostly killed by the Chinese Communist Party in battle in the siege of Taiyuan the commanding Japanese general and officers committed suicide when Taiyuan fellLike 7000 out of the 10000 Japanese were killed and the rest arrested and deportedYan Xishan and the Japanese only controlled Taiyuan and Datong, most of rural Shanxi and other cities were Communist held in the war.And most Japanese left behind in China were Japanese women and girl settlers called zanryu fujin who were seized by Chinese men as wives.> the Viet Minh or It was only in Indonesia and Vietnam where Japanese soldiers voluntarily enlisted in Viet Minh and Indonesian forces and were given Vietnamese Kinh wives and Indonesian Javanese wives despite Japanese mass raping Vietnamese women and Indonesian Javanese girls dyeing the warJapan also killed 4 million Indonesian Javanese and 2 million Vietnamese Kinh through forced labour to death or starvation.
>>18753225>>18753331The Soviet Union killed and deported most of the Japanese Kwantung army to gulags, leaving only non-combat Japanese civilian personnel like nurses for Communists to recruit (after the Soviets raped every Japanese nurse of course in addition to mass raping Japanese female settlers)The US arranged for ships to deport Japanese China Expedtitionary Army as well as send Korean comfort women back home to Korea.The KMT and Communists both did not recruit Japanese mercenaries. The Communists only retained nurses and people like railroad techniciansAlso the Japanese male technicians were deported back to Japan after the civil war topOnly Japanese females like zanryu fujin stayed in China as wives of Chinese farmers.

This is not reconnoisance; it is battle. The skirmishers deployed and well up, now the main line advances. Out from the trees on a dog-trot springs a battalion. It is going to try that griddle of death. The men dash valiantly on, agile fellows, intense as[76] fanatics. Now the hundred field cannon come into play. Most are Chinese of ancient date, some are modern, rim-firing. Smoke fills the plain. It is difficult to see. The torrent of lead is on. Snatched through the noise of firing you can hear great cries; they grow spasmodic, then cease. The firing slows. Soon only the automatic pops are heard. The smoke drifts off. The foremost man is there on the wire, gutted. He hangs, a frightful mass, limp on the barbs. Here and there a poor fellow is crawling, as you have seen some worm trodden on vainly seek its hole. Not a man of the battalion has survived. A thousand brave, faithful soldiers are gone. So this is civilized warfare!

Despite being defended by no more than 400 men with antiquated artillery, the Fourth Division failed on two attempts to breach its gates. Two battalions from the First Division attacked independently at 05:30 on 25 May 1904, finally breaching the defenses and taking the town.[4]>With his flank thus secure, General Oku could then commence the main assault on the entrenched Russian forces on Nanshan Hill. The assault was postponed a day due to the weather. On 26 May 1904, Oku began with prolonged artillery barrage from Japanese gunboats offshore, followed by infantry assaults by all three of his divisions. The Russians, with mines, Maxim machine guns and barbed wire obstacles, inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese during repeated assaults. By 18:00, after nine attempts, the Japanese had failed to overrun the firmly entrenched Russian positions. Oku had committed all of his reserves, and both sides had used up most of their artillery ammunition.[4]https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=RLViDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA75#v=onepage&q&f=false

In 1723, when he was 71, he returned to Nagasaki to meet his son.

Japanese men painted images of Dutch men fucking Japanese girls in the Edo period Tokugawa Shogunate.South Asians view this as a humiliation.>>18753341>the japanese concept of honour is extremely different from izzat their concept of bushido is driven by belief in their superiority,Wrong.First of all Bushido only applied to samuraiSamurai could kill Japanese peasants for insulting them amd have sex with Japanese peasant wives while if a Japanese peasant did those to samurai he would be killed.Secondly, Japanese literally prostituted and sold Japanese girls to foreigners while doing this.Japanese prostituted Japanese girls to Dutch men, called orandayuki-san. Japanese men even painted art of Dutch men having sex with Japanese womenAt the same time the Japanese flew into a rage and tantrum over the same Dutch collecting tolls from Japanese ships in Taiwan in the Hamada Yahei incidentJapanese litetally regarded paying toll taxes as a humiliation while not regarding foreign men fucking Japanese girls as humiliation.South Asian Izzat is literally centered around women and insulting other people's women and calling them whores in contrast to your own women.A South Asian thinks your women getting fucked is a bigger humiliated than a toll tax.
