Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has been learning western knowledge, whether it is economic or military construction, and strives to advance in the direction of western powers. Although this wholesale approach helped Japan to quickly become an Asian power to a certain extent, these great powers expanded Japan's militaristic thinking to a certain extent. This kind of thinking was mainly derived from the medieval Bushido spirit, and was gradually used by militarists in Japan to boost the morale of soldiers, and over time, this spirit gradually began to deteriorate, and eventually became a tool for the military to imprison the national mind. At that time, Japan's military ministers held actual power and only obeyed the emperor's orders. When opposition emerges within the government, they directly suppress it militarily. Due to continuous propaganda throughout the country, most Japanese soldiers and civilians have a strong sense of militarism. Thus, under such influence, Japan launched an invasion of the Chinese side. In order to achieve the so-called "greater East Asia co-prosperity" in their hearts, the Japanese army launched a brutal blow on the territory of our country, and the Nanjing Massacre is a bloody example. During World War II, almost the whole of Japan was in a state of madness, and in addition to the Japanese soldiers who killed indiscriminately on the battlefield, Japanese women also did many terrible things, some of which were more cruel than those soldiers.
From an early age, Japanese women are required to receive spiritual education and strengthen their patriotic beliefs through various brutal ways. For Japanese women, it is a very honorable thing to be able to dedicate themselves to the emperor, so they will take the initiative to persuade their husbands and children to go to the front line, encourage them to kill more, and if the men are unwilling, some women will even motivate them by suicide.
It is reported that after the 918 Incident, a woman named Chiyoko Inoue did such a thing. The woman was the newlywed wife of a soldier who invaded China. In order to motivate her husband and keep him unconcerned about the family, chiyoko committed suicide on the eve of her husband's preparation for the expedition, leaving only a suicide note warning her husband to be loyal to the emperor. The woman's suicide soon caused a sensation throughout Japan, and the Japanese army set Chiyoko as a typical "patriotic woman" and publicized it nationwide to arouse the morale of the soldiers. Not only that, but Japanese women also regard the responsibility of their wives and mothers as part of the national honor. They not only actively joined the army, doing what they could for the soldiers, such as washing clothes and cooking, taking care of the wounded, etc., but even taking the initiative to be comfort women to meet the physical and psychological needs of soldiers.
It is understood that the formation of this concept is mainly due to a series of "brainwashing" acts by the Japanese authorities. At that time, in order to let more women join the war, the Japanese government introduced a series of policies to promote the benefits of childbearing. During World War II, most of the requirements for the image of women in Japan were the role of mothers. Through propaganda from all sides, many women began to regard childbirth as a great national cause, and with excitement, they gave everything they had to the soldiers on the front line.
As the situation in the later period of the war continued to expand, some women also began to take on some simple front-line jobs. In addition, women in Japan began to gather and form women's groups. It has been learned that during Japan's invasion of China, Japanese women, with the support of various women's association groups, carried out a series of so-called "assistance" and "condolence" activities, not only sending their own goods to the soldiers, but also taking care of their families, publicizing national defense knowledge everywhere, and holding various condolence meetings in the hope of reducing the burden on the soldiers on the front line. At the same time, they will also actively participate in the construction of the domestic economy and take the initiative to cooperate with some economic systems in wartime. Although Japanese women may not have directly caused harm to our people, in a sense, the crazy behavior of these women is to help Japan's atrocities.
