      Yeah they do. ime there’s not as much emphasis on what Japan did to the rest of Asia as there is what Germany did to the rest of Europe. And there’s absolutely no mention of unit 731 or comfort women or the rape of Nanjing or similar atrocities. But it’s absolutely taught that Japan was an axis power. Where in the world is that not known? Be for real.

      What schools in the west don’t teach about Japans involvement during the Second World War?

      Japan quite literally began the war in China, and the war ended with the soviet invasion and American nuclear bombings. Avoiding any mentions of Japan would be impressive.
