During the 30's and ww2 the military pretty much controlled everything and just done what it wanted like the Mukden incident and war with China. In the Meiji and Taisho eras they were quite moderate and acted like the other world powers and weren't very brutal in combat before.

soviets taught kids how to lay landmines and the volksturm taught kids how to use panzerfausts

Also daily reminder a shitload of Koreans/Chinks served in the IJA and commited war crimes against allied soldiers, there was a Korean guard in bataan infamous for homosexual rape of australian PoW's

he was hung after the war

Retard.

Extreme nationalism, militarism and imperialism. They made Germany look like a joke with how extreme they took it.

>>3096222
their methods weren't anything special for asian standards, all the gooks did the exact same shit to eachother. Japan was the first to get it's hands on westerners though.
