Umm, how did everyone suddenly forget about all the Japanese soldiers hiding out islands who kept attacking people for years, and in some case decades until after the war was over, not believing Japan had surrendered?
I think we should be tougher. How tough? Dunno exactly. Though effective, I think the world has moved beyond accepting summary executions.Originally posted by phatmonky
I know this wasn't implied in your post, but do you think martial law would be a better course of action than now? Are the new tougher actions working?
Yes, Germany and Japan were both major Axis powers during World War II. South Korea (then known as Korea) was under Japanese occupation during the war.
After World War II, both Germany and Japan were left devastated and in ruins. However, with aid from the United States and other allied countries, they were able to rebuild their economies and become major economic powers. South Korea also received aid and assistance in rebuilding after the war.
Germany is a federal parliamentary republic, Japan is a constitutional monarchy, and South Korea is a presidential republic. All three countries have stable political systems and are considered democratic nations.
Germany, Japan, and South Korea are all known for their advancements in technology and innovation. Germany is known for its engineering and automotive industries, Japan for its advancements in electronics and robotics, and South Korea for its advancements in technology and manufacturing.
Germany, Japan, and South Korea all have unique cultural traditions and customs. Germany is known for its beer festivals and Christmas markets, Japan for its tea ceremonies and cherry blossom festivals, and South Korea for its traditional dances and celebrations such as the Lunar New Year and Chuseok.
