The Nanking massacre, or the R@p* of Nanking was an episode of mass murder and mass r@p*
The Nanking massacre, or the R@p* of Nanking was an episode of mass murder and mass r@p* committed by Japanese troops against the residents of Nanjing (Nanking), then the capital of the Republic of China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
Since most Japanese military records on the killings were kept secret or destroyed shortly after the surrender of Japan in 1945, historians have been unable to accurately estimate the death toll of the massacre.
The International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo estimated in 1946 that over 200,000 Chinese were killed in the incident and 20,000 women has been raped.
China's official estimate is more than 300,000 dead based on the evaluation of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal in 1947.
Although the Japanese government has admitted to the killing of a large number of non-combatants, looting, and other violence committed by the Imperial Japanese Army after the fall of Nanjing, and Japanese veterans who served there have confirmed that a massacre took place, a small but vocal minority within both the Japanese government and society have argued that the death toll was military in nature and that no such crimes ever occurred.
Denial of the massacre and revisionist accounts of the killings have become a staple of Japanese nationalism.
In Japan, public opinion of the massacre varies, but few deny outright that the event occurred.
Thanks for reading.
