The U.S.A. is responsible for the Pacific War Vol.2

「大東亜戦争は、アメリカが悪い」英語電子版　後編

Looking at the Japan –U.S. history since East India fleet commanded by Matthew Calbraith Perry came to Bay of Tokyo in 1853, we notice that Japan has never violated the vital interests of the U.S..

Then why two countries fought such a fierce war?

The Tokyo Trial after the war was under the U.S. occupation and Japan totally disarmed and there was no freedom of speech. It concluded that the whole responsibility of the war was at Japan. In a word, it was a theater of revenge and under total disregard of international law.

Although this view is still widely held at both countries even today, we believe that with vast new findings and evidences discovered during the course of 70 years after the war, and we should take a much objective view of the history and new standpoint.

We believe this will ultimately do good for promoting mutual understanding and cooperation between Japan and theU.S..
