Crimes and why was japan in asia[edit source] The Japanese military during the 1930s and 1940s is often compared to the military of Nazi Germany during 1933–45 because of the sheer scale of suffering that both of them caused. Much of the controversy regarding Japan's role in World War II revolves around the death rates of prisoners of war and civilians under Japanese occupation. Historian Sterling Seagrave has written that:

Arriving at a probable number of Japan’s war victims who died is difficult for several interesting reasons, Which have to do with Western perceptions and Anti Japanese Communist party propaganda. China claims and has proof of around 300,000 to 980,000 during japans occupation officially. Both Americans and Europeans fell into the unfortunate habit of seeing WW1 and WW2 as separate wars, failing to comprehend that they were interlaced in a multitude of ways (not merely that one was the consequence of the other, or of the rash behavior of the victors after WW1). Wholly aside from this basic misconception, most Americans think of WW2 in Asia as having begun with Pearl Harbor, The war with the US and Japan started to progress actually started when Japan economy was on the verge of economic collapse. After asking for confiscation for helping in World War 1 Then being ignored by the league of Nations. Japan left the league and invaded china to protect its assets that where vital to keeping Japans economy afloat such as the......... ((The South Manchuria Railway Company (南満洲鉄道株式会社 Minami Manshū Tetsudō Kabushiki-gaisha)), or Mantetsu (満鉄, literally "Manchurian Railway") for short, was a company founded by the Japanese in 1906 and operated within the Japanese-controlled South Manchuria Railway Zone. The Japanese-controlled railway ran from Lüshun Port at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula to Changchun, where it connected to the Russian-controlled portion of the southern Chinese Eastern Railway. The company was often referred to as "Japan's East India Company in China". Japan was in Manchuria legally.....under a treaty negotiated by President Roosevelt From 1916, Mantestu began to spin off a number of subsidiary companies, including Showa Steel Works, Dalian Ceramics, Dalian Oil & Fat, South Manchurian Glass, as well as flour mills, sugar mills, electrical power plants, shale oil plants and chemical plants. And there are multiplu fake photos that where made during the war and after as anti Japanese propaganda and are easly visible when one knows the dress code and ranks and issued equipment given to ranks in the Japanese Imperial Army.

Until 1925, the company also operated the Korean railway system.

Company assets rose from 163 million yen in 1908 to over a billion yen in 1930. Mantetsu was by far the largest corporation in Japan, and also its most profitable, averaging rates of return from 25-45 percent per year. During the 1920s, Mantetsu provided for over a quarter of the Japanese government's tax revenues. Over 75% of Mantetsu's income was generated by its freight business, with the key to profitability coming from soybean exports, both to Japan proper and to Europe. Soybean production increased exponentially with increasing demand for soy oil, and for soy meal for use in fertilizer and animal feed. By 1927, half of the world's supply of soybean was from Manchuria and the efforts by Mantetsu to expand production and to ship to export ports was a classic example of an extractive colonial economy dependent on a single product. Mantetsu was also charged with a government-like role in managing the rail transportation system after the formation of Manchukuo in 1932. By 1938, Mantetsu had 72 subsidiary companies, development projects in 25 urban areas and carried 17,515,000 passengers per year. Between 1930-1940, the Japanese population of Manchukuo rose by 800,000 making ethnic Japanese the majority in many of the towns and cities served by Mantetsu. Mantetsu prided itself on state-of-the-art urban planning, with modern sewer systems, public parks, and creative modern architecture far in advance of what could be found in Japan itself. Yet this was not enough for Japans over whelming and growing economy that needed more. DR had, as early as October 1940, decided that the U.S. would be involved in a war with Japan.....On October 8, 1940, Admiral James O. Richardson, ( the foremost U.S. expert on war with Japan)Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet, provoked a confrontation with Roosevelt by repeating his earlier arguments to Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Harold R. Stark and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox that Pearl Harbor was the wrong place for his ships. Roosevelt believed relocating the fleet to Hawaii would exert a "restraining influence" on Japan.

Richardson asked the President if the United States was going to war. Roosevelt's view was:

At least as early as October 8, 1940, ...affairs had reached such a state that the United States would become involved in a war with Japan. In their final proposal on November 20, 1941, Japan offered to withdraw its forces from southern Indochina and not to launch any attacks in southeast Asia provided that the U.S., Britain, and the ceased aiding China and lifted their sanctions against Japan. The American counterproposal of November 26 (the Hull note) required Japan to evacuate all of China, without conditions, and to conclude non-aggression pacts with Pacific powers.
