Minister Abe made comments about the Murayama Conversation which acknowledged both invasion and colonialization, claiming that the definition of an invasion is unclear both academically and internationally.
History may be reintepreted differently, but FACTs will always remain facts.
Japan invaded and took over Korea, invaded and took over China and Machuria, and also invaded the Malay peninsula.
Germany already apologized for the atrocious war crimes they committed, helping them rise into prominence in the European community. However Japan is still denying their own history, causing great pain to the survivors and victims.
Abe's relativism on history is shocking the victims of the Pearl Harbor air raids, the death march of Batan, and the Nanching massacre as well.
