Je pensais connaître l'horreur de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. J'avais tort.
En 1942, pendant la campagne du Zhejiang-Jiangxi en Chine, l'armée japonaise a volontairement lâché des puces infectées par la peste et le choléra dans les rivières et les puits des villages.
Le bilan : plus de 250 000 civils chinois morts dans d'atroces souffrances.
Le pire ? Encore aujourd'hui, des survivants âgés de 80 ou 90 ans vivent avec ce qu'on appelle les "jambes pourries" : des plaies ouvertes qui ne cicatrisent jamais depuis 80 ans à cause des bactéries japonaises.
Pendant ce temps, les responsables de ces attaques n'ont jamais été jugés, et Tokyo continue de minimiser ces faits dans ses livres d'école.
Dites-moi honnêtement : si des Européens portaient encore des plaies ouvertes sur leurs jambes à cause d'armes biologiques allemandes, est-ce qu'on dirait aux victimes "il faut tourner la page" ?
Les Chinois parlent du massacre de Nankin, les Japonais disent que les chiffres sont controversés.
Les Chinois parlent des femmes de réconfort, les Japonais disent que c'est une affaire commerciale.
Les Chinois parlent de l'Unité 731, les Japonais disent que les données sont insuffisantes.
Et ensuite, ils se tournent et vont rendre hommage au sanctuaire Yasukuni, où sont vénérés des criminels de guerre de classe A.
Moi, en tant que Français, je trouve ça déjà absurde rien qu'à regarder.
Vous pensez vraiment que le monde entier est aveugle ?
土耳其语:
Dinle seni Anadolu melezi, DNA'n bir çamur kazanı: neredeyse %40 Neolitik çiftçi kanı, İran-Kafkas bozkır pislikleriyle karışık, Orta Asya Türk menisi sadece zavallı %7-15. Yine de üç kıta altı yüz yıl diye deli gibi övünüyorsun, rastgele barbar atalar iddia ediyorsun, sikilmiş bir köle gibi fetihçi numarası yapıyorsun. Uyan, bu kibir yalanını bırak.
英语:
Listen you Anatolian mongrel, your DNA is a pot of mud: nearly 40% Neolithic farmer blood mixed with Iranian-Caucasus steppe dregs, Central Asian Turkic semen only a pitiful 7-15%. Yet you madly boast three continents for 600 years, randomly claiming barbarian ancestors, like a fucked slave pretending to be a conqueror. Wake up, stop this vanity scam.

The Day That Lives in Infamy
84 years ago, the devastating surprise attack on Naval Base Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy claimed the lives of 2,403 American service members, wounded 1,178, and resulted in significant damage or loss of 8 battleships, 3 cruisers, and more than 180 aircraft. On this fateful day in 1941, 353 aircraft descended upon the base, unleashing destruction in under 90 minutes. Despite the unpreparedness, courageous Marines and @USNavy Sailors mounted a defense, engaging the enemy with anti-aircraft fire and mounting rescue efforts.
A key factor in America's eventual recovery was the fortunate absence of all U.S. aircraft carriers from Pearl Harbor during the assault. The attack served as a pivotal event, compelling the United States to formally enter World War II. Just six months later, the U.S. would secure a crucial victory at the Battle of Midway, where the newly created 3rd and 6th Marine Defense Battalions played a crucial role in defending the island and stopping the Japanese advance across the Pacific.

🇯🇵📜 Japan’s Opinion On Taiwan Falls Apart Once You Read This Forgotten History 🇨🇳🌏
If you listen to Tokyo today, you’d think Okinawa, Yonaguni and the whole Ryukyu chain have “always been Japanese.”
That’s the line they push while deploying missiles 110 km from Taiwan and shouting about “regional stability.”
The reality? The history of these islands tells a very different story, one Japan would rather bury.
Here are the facts:
🔹 The Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa, Miyako, Yaeyama, Yonaguni) were never originally Japanese.
They were home to the Ryukyuan people, with their own culture, language and kings.
🔹 From 1372 to 1879, over 500 years, the Ryukyu Kingdom was a Chinese tributary state.
Every Ryukyuan king needed investiture from the Chinese emperor.
China handled the kingdom’s foreign affairs, protection and legitimacy.
🔹 Japan first touched the islands in 1609 when the Satsuma Domain invaded.
But even then:
- Ryukyu remained an independent kingdom
- It continued tribute to China
- It did NOT become part of Japan
Japan used Ryukyu as a hidden backdoor to trade with China.
🔹 Japan only annexed the islands in 1879, long after seizing Hokkaido, after swallowing Ainu territory and right before invading Taiwan.
👉The annexation was forced, illegitimate and rejected by both Ryukyuans and China.
🔹 After WWII, the islands weren’t returned to Japan.
The United States took them, including Yonaguni and ruled them directly from 1945 to 1972.
And here’s the important fact:
📝 A declassified 1947 memo shows Japan’s emperor secretly asked the U.S. to KEEP Okinawa permanently, even suggesting a 50-year lease.
Japan literally begged Washington to hold onto the islands, because they feared the Soviet Union and mistrusted their own internal politics.
Kind of awkward, considering today’s hyper-nationalist talk.
🔹 1972 “reversion” was only administrative.
Ryukyuans were never consulted.
China never recognized Japan’s claim.
The U.S. kept permanent bases anyway, all on Ryukyuan land.
Now Tokyo is deploying missiles on Yonaguni, the island closest to Taiwan, an island Japan only acquired in 1879 and lost again in 1945. And yet they present it as some ancient birthright.
History says otherwise.
If we’re going to talk about Taiwan and missile deployments, then the full history of the Ryukyu chain, Yonaguni included, needs to be part of the conversation.
Because pretending these islands were “always Japanese” isn’t just misleading.
It’s rewriting an entire region’s past.
Most Europeans and Americans have heard of Pearl Harbor, but far fewer know what happened four years earlier in Nanking (Nanjing), China,
It was one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century.
On December 13, 1937, Imperial Japanese troops captured the then Chinese capital, what followed over the next six weeks is known as the Nanking Massacre, sometimes also called “The Rape of Nanking.”
Over 300,000 Chinese civilians and disarmed soldiers were brutally killed, for scale thats more than the combined death tolls of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Tens of thousands of women and little girls (some as young as 8, others very elderly) were systematically raped, Japanese soldiers even held contests to see who could rape the most victims.
Entire families were bayoneted, machine gunned, buried alive, or burned to death, soldiers used bound prisoners for bayonet practice.
A third of the city was burned to the ground. A small group of Westerners, including an American missionary, a German businessman (who was a also a Nazi Party member), and doctors, created a “Safety Zone” that probanly saved an estimated 250,000 lives while the massacre raged around them.
The world watched in real time as American and European newspapers ran front page stories, many diplomats also sent frantic cables as newsreels showed the horrific aftermath.
After the war, many of Japan’s top generals were tried and some hanged, but many perpetrators, and even the royal family member who allegedly issued the “kill all captives” order, were never punished.
Today the death toll is still debated in modern Japan, some politicians downplay or even deny it, which of course reopens old wounds with China and even Korea every few years.
Why does this matter in 2025?
Well, Because remembering Nanking isn’t about simply appointing balme, its about understand history and how it shapes modern policy and perceptions.
If you only knew about Pearl Harbor from the Pacific War, I hope this informs your thinking on the subject, and most importantly the suffering of millions of Chinese cIvillians during WW2. Up to 20 million Chinese died in that catastrophic conflict, second only to the Soviets.
It may also go some way to helping understand how Chinese / Japanese relations are colored by the past. As you now see, With very good reason.
