this would've been due to the japanese invasion though right?
Even then, still doesnt excuse human rights violations, to the level that NK does.
I never said it excused them, but it does to some degree explain them.
i mean yeah, but if we're going to root cause, it would necessarily be japan im certain. They were the ones invading china/korea at the time. The US wasn't even involved until the end of the war.
