Under Japan's "New Order" in Asia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Japanese treatment of conquered Asian peoples was often brutal and oppressive, with forced labor, looting, executions, and even biological experiments on prisoners. While Japan did claim to be liberating their fellow Asians from Western colonialism, their actions often contradicted this claim. Asian nationalists were not unified in their support for the Japanese, as some saw them as just another occupying power. Japan did seek to exploit the resources of conquered Asian lands to support their war effort.
