The prime minister of Japan personally apologized to Mao Zedong for invading China but Mao Zedong responded with “You don’t have to apologize, your country has made a great contribution to China. Why?Because if Imperial Japan did not start the war, we would not be as mighty

them.

WorldViews
Past:
- The Second- Sino war ended because the United States and Soviet Union dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in August 6, 1945. The Soviet Union destroyed all the armor, air supplies and artillery of the Japanese soldiers. Three days later, another bomb has been dropped but on Nagasaki by the United States. The emperor of Japan Hirohito then recorded an announcement on a radio station say they have surrendered.
Japan attacked China because they didn’t have as many goods and land, as China did. China is also just next door
to Japan and the biggest country in Asia. Many Chinese people joined the Japanese army out of fear and disagreements against General Chiang Kai- Siek. The Chinese people that have joined Japan are now known as traitors. After the war was finished, the traitors from China were killed for treason. Wanted POWER.
Japan
China

European powers in Asia

the war) was General Hirohito
:
Present:
-The Japanese Kwantung Army took over Manchuria (A Chinese Province)
- China valued their land and farming the most, to make sure Japan would not get it they fought to the very end.
To this present day, Japan still has not apologized to China for causing the Second Sino War. In China, they have a memorial for the victims/survivors that were involved in the Nanjing massacre
Future:
- Japan’s emperor/general Hirohito
valued his country’s safety and
protection. That is why after America
dropped the atomic bombs he
surrendered to the Chinese because
all of their supplies have been
destroyed.
The future depends on if Japan is willing to apologize or not. If they do, then it would depend on how China reacts to it.
Japan apologizes: - China could refuse to accept it and things would not be good in the future.
- China could accept it, but they would never
forget it. It would be nice to know to know that they did apologize to them.
Japan DOES not apologize:
- China could either not bring
it up or continue to hold
the grudge
