Anti-Japanese activities overseas by neighboring countries are as active as ever, especially on foreign video sites where there are many pro-Japanese comments, etc., and suddenly, at least once a week, we see anti-Japanese comments that are completely off-topic.
Many Japanese people are almost ignorant about the Japan-Korea issue, so they believe the lies of Koreans, but Japan was not at war with Korea at that time.
On the contrary, we fought together as Japanese in WWII.
Since history is not covered in the media, Japanese Americans and Japanese living abroad are not exposed to the truth, and I often hear stories of Japanese children being bullied at school because of it, so I decided to post this topic to let people know about the correct history.
If you have any useful information, whether in English or Japanese literature, please share it with us.

I recently learned about the Korean anti-Japan thing then it turned out to be that Koreans only benefited from Japan's annexation and even after that until today. They were basically brainwashed by distorted history mostly influenced by the left communists and North Korean and Chinese governments. Now many Korean and international scholars are bringing out the facts. Japan didn't even invade Korea, it was done by an international agreement proposed by the Korean government and it was celebrated internationally because of the severely corrupted Korean governments for centuries like current North Korea.

Japan immediately released Koreans from the slavery system upon annexation and it spent 1/4 of their own tax money to improve their lives - from the most poverty state (while there was even a famine going on in the northern part of Japan), they built more than 5,000 schools for children even Seoul University and taught Both Korean population and their life span DOUBLED just in 35 years like a miracle and they were taught fishery and farming skills, they pay less than a half of taxes Japanese or foreigners on the peninsula did, yet so many Koreans smuggled themselves into Japan for a much better life.

Besides, during the WW2, Koreans fought as Japanese under that rising sun flag they all volunteered and well paid (in fact like 98% of the Korean men failed the exam and turned down) so many were not sent to the battle fields but were just sent to administer local people and prison camps so that's what's going on. people and prison camps so that's why not so much casualty compared to Japanese men on mainland (like 20k vs

I once lived in South Korea for a few years, now I see the truth In fact most of them say now they In fact most of them say now they understand why their elders kept saying their life was better under Japans control but on media and school all about that anti-japan propaganda. They said the rising sun was not a problem until the recent soccer match in 2011... It is indeed a tragedy that several years ago an old Korean man was beaten to death by a man in his 30s just because he said he was happy and safer during Japanese annexation.

I encourage people to learn history from the university courses, it's quite interesting what they teach is so different from What Koreans writes on Wikipedia or just simply learn their language so that you can see for yourself what those people are actually saying in their country.
