Japan felt slighted after WWI, felt they didn’t get enough of the spoils from being on the winning team. They began to focus on getting the European Colonialists out of Asia.
you said ..”American Bureaucrats attitude “
yes.. and it seems that we have more of that now rather then less.
The crimes against humanity are piling up.
One can only imagine what “they” have planed for us next ?
During the Rape of Nanking, even actual German Nazis at the German embassy were disgusted by what they were seeing.
Correction book was called Unit 731.
But our Big Med makes Japan's Unit 731 look like pikers.
Case in point, check out the laundry list of adverse reactions discussed at this link...
Role of imaging in rare COVID-19 vaccine multiorgan complications
Rare doesn't mean what it used to mean, does it...
The Japanese and Grerman Ruling Elite developed World Class Arrogance, and the Arrogant Japanese found out that you CAN piss off normal people to the point that they WILL Nuke you to oblivion to save one of their own Patriots.
Of course that attitude no longer exists in Prog Socialist Marxist America.
I’ve heard that argument. I have a hard time seeing how it would inspire & produce such savagery in 20-25 years.
In the late 80s I rented a movie about Unit 731. I wish I’d stayed home that day and never learned what I did. Out of our pool of scientists and doctors come some of the most evil people who walk the earth.
Science.
Look up Unit 731 on Youtube if you want to take a bite out of the apple, or remain blissfully ignorant (better).
Japan was very chivalrous in its behavior toward POWS....What happened to change that?
But starting in the 20s, having modernized in many ways, it became popular and maybe compulsory to look back fondly at past Japanese history and customs. The old samurai code of Bushido was revived. Honorable warriors fought and died rather than surrender. Any who did surrender were beneath contempt. This was the attitude that the Japanese army and navy had when invading China, and later, the rest of the Pacific area.
The irony was that during the feudal period, samurais were a small minority of the Japanese population, yet the majority of the Japanese population in the 1930s bought into the idea that they were the descendants of the samurais and acted accordingly.

That’s absurd comparing Unit 731 to the covid vaccines.
One of the other things that ticked off the Japanese with regards to the US was when the US started limiting immigration from Japan and other Asian countries into the US during the 1920s.
They took that as an insult, and led to the population there starting to turn on the US and the other Western countries.
Yes I did, and I did deliberately, I word my comments carefully.
In this case, I wanted to convey the belief that the common American citizen of the time, would not condone the failure to prosecute and punish these Human Rights Criminals.
However, unelected, unaccountable Government Employees did so, and eventually used the power and information gained AGAINST those common American citizens, becoming the Human Rights Criminals they assisted.
Thanks, mewzilla.
That’s the explanation I lean toward. Then couple that with the natural understandable but regrettable human tendency to fear “the other” and you have tragedy.
“They took that as an insult...”
I think it is interesting to note, that even though the Japanese claimed to Asian heroes sweeping away the colonial powers in East Asia, Filipinos fought along side Americans defending the Philippines and were more than anxious see us return and kick the Japanese out. I realize that we had planned to give the Philippines their independence in 1943 (?) had the war and Japanese invasion not occurred.
I joke that had we made the Philippines a State now with their population, Presidential candidates would just have to campaign there.
Absurd in what way, DD...?
It was the Rape of Nanking that precipitated the oil and steel embargos. Many of Japan’s cruelties were known. It was so bad that even a Nazi German businessman there in Nanking helped shield Chinese.

Very well summarized. This has been my understanding, as well.
On the other hand, the Japanese refused to turn over Shanghai’s Jews to the Nazis.
