With up to 20 million killed in China alone, the “Asian Holocaust” killed around twice as many as the Nazis. The bloodiest massacre occurred today in 1936 when Japanese troops killed 300,000 people in the Chinese city of Nanjing.
After the Japanese captured Nanjing in December 1937, their soldiers rampaged the streets, murdering anyone they saw. Hundreds of thousands of people were buried in mass graves.
Two Japanese officers engaged in a “killing contest” over who could kill 100 people the fastest while using a sword all the while Japanese newspapers reported the “contest” as a sports event.
As part of their ruthless imperialist subjugation of Asia, the Japanese frequently employed rape as a weapon of war, raping up to 80,000 women during the Nanjing Massacre alone.
In Asia, WWII began in 1931, when Japan invaded and occupied northeastern China to exploit its vast natural resources. The Imperial Japanese Armed Forces had murdered up to 20 million Chinese by the end of WWII in 1945.
Before Japan’s full-scale invasion of China in 1937, the Chinese national liberation movement had spent the last six years resisting the invaders.
As the Japanese faced resistance during their imperialist invasion of China, the Nanjing blueprint was applied to the whole country, serving as stark a reminder of what happened to anyone who resisted Japan’s imperialist ambitions.
Eighty-six years after the “forgotten Holocaust of WWII,” Japan still refuses to apologize for what took place in Nanjing and continues to downplay the massacre.
