[Tokis-Phoenix]

"Japan has handed over the remains of 101 South Koreans who were forced to fight for the Japanese army during World War II.

South Korean officials and relatives of the dead are flying the remains back to Seoul, after a memorial service in Tokyo on Tuesday.

Officials said it was the first time the two governments had arranged such a ceremonial handover.

About 22,000 South Koreans died fighting for Japan during the war.

Many others were forced to work in Japanese factories or as prostitutes";

It is your delusion and is different from a historical fact.
In WW2, the Korean killed many captives,
And they slaughtered a Chinese.
Lot of Koreans were found guilty in Tokyo court.

If the Koreans first thought, Japan its an alley towards China, as one reason, then its understandable, if you know their history.
And LOTS does not say, how many in relation, nor, how many were forced to do this.
Nor does it mean, that a Tokyo court is the right and only place, to sort this out.
Some Koreans were indeed siding with the Japanese, and this is wellknown, also within and outside Korea, also, that they were particularly rude then, trying survive, and also by licking a.. to come to higher levels of authority over their own kind. But this was by far not the norm.
We have loads of according informations here!

There are always some, that do this, in every war, but that says nothing about the major rest at all.

of course, since japanese are so good at whitewashing their own history text book, you all blame on koreans.

The Nanking Massacre, commonly known as the Rape of Nanking, was an infamous genocidal war crime committed by the Japanese military in Nanjing, then capital of the Republic of China, after it fell to the Imperial Japanese Army on December 13, 1937. The duration of the massacre is not clearly defined, although the violence lasted well into the next six weeks, until early February 1938.

but then again, japanese are good and distorting and hiding truth.
what's next? koreans convinced americans to nuke japan twice?

Um, i think at the end of the day, during the war years both the Japanese, the Chinese and the Koreans were all responsible for numerous atrocities that happened in their own countries and towards other countries or people's.
There's no point in arguing one country was better than another since its a very difficult thing to argue and to debate such a thing properly, a thread on such a subject would exceed into the hundreds of pages; but, IMHO the main is that each country openly admits what it did wrong during those years and should certainly try and right the wrongs done back in those years if they are still affecting matters in this day and age.
I think Japan handing over the remains of Koreans it doesn't have the right to keep is a step in the right direction for a start .

I tried to inspect this BBC news.
The person who wrote this article,
In fact, he does not confirm it.
I understood that I wrote an article for a delusion.
Perhaps,
He copied it without confirming a Korean article.

Homepage concerning return of bone of South Korean of the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare.
厚生労働省：朝鮮半島出身戦没者遺骨の還送について

An article of Korea newspaper
中央日報日本語版 エラー

Day of summer of 1944.
The elder brother of 20 years where the best days of one's life began to bloom has gone while saying 'Come back at once' to me who was nine years old at that time.
Kim Kyeong-bong,

The execution of Korean people's conscription system is autumn of 1944.
His older brother was a volunteer.

A document about the Japanese wartime draft.

They want to conceal having wanted to become a Japanese.
630,000 Koreans entered Japan illegally in those days.
They want to conceal it.
They tell a lie that everything was compelled.
Therefore contradiction comes to the front in various ways.

The lie comes to light soon because the making a passage record and the crime
record have been left in Japan.


Because the Japanese is a record mania.

I wrote this article about Japan and Korea relations a while ago. It sort of explains some of the reasons why there is so much animosity today:

* Here is one of several major diplomatic events led to Japan's military conquest of Korea peninsula in the late 19th century.

The Ganghwa Island incident ( 江華島事件 )

Ganghwa Island incident - Wikipedia

The Meiji Restoration of 1868 ended the 265-year-old feudalistic Tokugawa shogunate in Japan. The new government of Japan sent a messenger holding a letter with the sovereign's message which informed of the founding of a new administration of Japan to the government of the Joseon Dynasty of the Korean Peninsula on December,19th 1868.

However, the Joseon Dynasty refused to receive the letter because it contained the Chinese characters 皇 and 勅.According to the political system of the day, only the Chinese emperor was allowed to use these characters, as they signified the imperial authority of China in the region. Hence, their use by a Japanese sovereign was considered unacceptable by Joseon, as it implied he was an equal of the Chinese emperor.

* China's " Sinocentrism 中華思想 （ 華夷思想 ） " ruled Korea peninsula.It's fear & respect in the past subjugated Korea to China's sphere of influence.It's ingrained in Korean mentality,and there was nothing more insulting than little brother Japan overlord Joseon people.

Because Korea ignored a message for 8 years,
Takamori Saigou, Taisuke Itagaki, Shinpei Eto, Shojiro Goto.
They insisted on the Korea subjugation.
However,
Toshimichi Okubo, Tomomi Iwakura / Takayoshi Kido, Hirobumi Ito.
They just inspected American Europe and returned.
They insisted on giving priority to domestic social overhead capital maintenance.
They regarded reality as important than pride
They were opposed to Takamori Saigou.
The Meiji government is divided afterwards and,
A rebellion of Saga.
The Southwestern Rebellion happened.

In WW2, the Koreans killed many captives and they slaughtered Chinese.
Lot of Koreans were found guilty in Tokyo court.

No reference of Korean soldiers participated in killing & raping Chinese people in PRC & Taiwan history textbooks or newspapers.Very few among 1.5 billion Chi-nee people are awared of it.

Guess which country is distorting historical facts

Blame Japan ... Blame Japanese ...

 

[Hiroyuki Nagashima]

No reference of Guess which country is distorting historical facts
Blame Japan ... Blame Japanese ...

You insist that Tokyo court is false accusation court.
I understood it.

I do not do Blame about historical people.
Because it is meaningless,
I consider and evaluate a historical event.
I do not believe justice of the history.
Observation does a past event from a multidirectional viewpoint and considers a cause of those incident.
I am interested in it.
People saying distortion of the history want to watch only the thing which they want to believe.
I consider it what the thing which they want to believe is.
And I collect a document.
