"Japan used a highly developed military machine and a master-ace mentality to set about establishing its right to rule its neighbors....

If one event can be held up as an example of the unmitigated evil lying just below the surface of unbridled military adventurism, that moment is the Rape of Nanking....

When the city fell on December 13, 1937, Japanese soldiers began an orgy of cruelty seldom if ever matched in world history... Years later experts at the International Military Tribunal of the Far East (IMTFE) estimated that more than 260,000 noncombatants died at the hands of Japanese soldiers in Nanking in late 1937 and early 1938, though some experts have placed the figure at well over 350,000."
