The US government was aware of all that was going on in China when making the decision to take the initiative to end the war with a massive and decisive show of force. The total numbers of those killed in China was suppressed as there was no desire of Chinese government to show a high death toll by an occupying enemy who plundered their nation so swiftly. The captured information for Allied scientists provided by warehouses full of documentation on experiments on live human subjects was invaluable to a group bound by ethics, and information was quickly suppressed in the learning systems of all involved(US/China/Japan) to make the transition to the new world order a smooth as possible. The release of the Iris Chang book ‘The Rape of Nanking’ in Japan in 1997 caused much outrage among Japanese students toward their government as there was no prior knowledge of what had happened. Sorry to drivel on about this, but if I start to get into anything other then the most basic outlines of the actual history of the war in the Pacific, I’ll end up typing 100 pages tonight.
