In 1945, 170,000 Japanese prisoners were pulled into clearings in batches, followed by machine guns harvesting the lives of Japanese captives, and this happened long after Japan surrendered. Even the emperor of Japan at that time was threatened to be dragged to trial. When the Japanese military heard this, its lungs exploded. Why does Australia have such a great hatred with Japan? Is it greater than our enmity? Even now there is a museum in Australia that enters with the Japanese flag, which can be said to make the Japanese government tremble with anger. Let's take a look at the events of China, Japan and Australia in World War II. Interested friends move to get rich with small hands to point a note.
Japan fought against Australia
In 1941, when Japan was accompanied by the attack on Pearl Harbor, it even began to attack the American Philippines, British Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies. At the same time, provoking so many wars, do you really think you can challenge half the world? But Japan was indeed victorious in the first battle, when Japan was offended by one offense, and two were also offended, so before offending, it would be subdued first, and then it could get rich resources.
Captured army
The main reason why the Japanese army won the final victory was because it was only a colony of various countries, and the elite British troops and advanced equipment were on the front line, and the troops here only had some replacement of the old equipment, which also led to a large number of prisoners being captured by the Japanese. Among them, the number of Prisoners of War in Australia reached 15,000, and the Japanese army has always been extremely cruel in dealing with prisoners of war.

But this time, Japan was even more cruel, and for the sake of its position in Southeast Asia and in order to deter Australia, It directly shot all the Australian prisoners of war. Losing the battle and being killed by the other side to kill all the captives, an obvious provocative act. At that time, the prisoners of other countries were sent by Japan to the Korean Peninsula as laborers and dug coal mines.
But Japan saw that the battle was so easy to win, and the strength of the other side was really too poor, so Japan's eyes turned to Oceania, first of all, Australia, looking at the bullying Australia, and at the same time there were rich resources, at this time Japan was eager to eat Australia.
Japanese army
In 1942, Japan first bombed the Australian mainland, in the following year, Japan carried out many bombings on Australia, even directly to more than 100 bombings, but the most powerful one was the Japanese bombing of Darwin, Japan directly bombed this ancient city to the sky, originally Australia did not have any air defense forces here, but Japan here bombs were even more than the bombs bombing Pearl Harbor. For a time, the city was in ruins, and a large number of civilians were injured in the bombing.

As a gateway to Australia, the Australian troops in Darwin Harbor were also hit hard by the Japanese army, and due to the extreme shortage of anti-aircraft weapons, the Japanese aircraft were very smooth in this operation. This bombing in Japan lasted for a whole day, and this bombing directly caused Australia to suffer heavy losses, and this is the first time in nearly hundreds of years that Australia has been hit by a foreign attack, so the anger in Australia's heart at this time can be imagined.
How much hatred is there between Australia and Japan? There were many things in World War II that directly stimulated Australia's hatred of Japan. Australia in the face of the continuous provocations of Japan's small countries, its own people began to join a large number of troops, to know that at the beginning, Australia's army is not very many, but when Japan attacked Australia, and successfully provoked Australia's anger, the number of Australian troops directly soared to about 1 million, to know that at that time, Australia's population was a total of 8 million, which shows how much Japan has provoked Australia.
Japanese troops killed
The Japanese army killed the president's children
There is another important thing, Japan in World War II, because of the protests of the Australian people, they took away the wife and daughter of the Australian president, and even later Japan actually used this to blackmail the other side, but the tough president did not succumb to the dark means of the Japanese army, and even was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Japanese army, so Japan directly killed the wife and daughter of the Australian president. Even if their wives and children have been killed, how can such a vendetta against Australia be abandoned? That's not a dead end with the Japanese.
Captured Japanese flags and weapons
On the above things, it has made Australia's hatred of Japan absolutely more than any country, so after the Australian army in the battle, for the Japanese army is directly killed, there will be no softness towards the Japanese at all, and the Australian people and even the army's hatred for Japan is very high, so when fighting, for the Japanese army is also particularly fierce, even if there is no military order they are also particularly fierce for the Japanese army. Therefore, in the battle, the Australian army showed particularly fierceness, and the Japanese prisoners were still very small.
The Japanese surrendered
Of course, it can be seen in china that the Japanese will not have any treaties at all during the war, and in the battle with Australia, the Japanese army will play this matter to the fullest, and many Australian medical ships have been sunk by Japan. Once, when a medical ship was in the waters off Bunga Island, it was sunk by a Japanese plane, but what was not expected was that the Japanese army also saved the living medical personnel at that time.
But Japan's heart is not so good, the 52 people rescued by the Japanese, in the following days even more miserable, because the Japanese women who were rescued were actually sent by the Japanese to be comfort women, which has become another big black history in Australia.
Australian Army
And on February 12, 1942, another ship full of medical personnel was sailing at sea, this ship was evacuated from Singapore to Australia, but what was not expected was that on the way back home, it was attacked by the Japanese, resulting in a large number of deaths, and only less than 100 people survived successfully swam to Bunga Island.
After the Japanese captured 100 Australian personnel, what kind of unconscionable things did the Japanese army do? This time, after capturing this hundred people, the Japanese army directly found an open space and killed them all with machine guns, and the Japanese army had to carry out assassinations one by one after killing, which was simply unbearable.
Several Australian troops after the battle
It was for these reasons that after Japan surrendered, all the countries sent Japanese captives back to Japan, but when the Australian people and the government heard of Japan's surrender, they said they did not accept Japan's surrender. Because in the late stages of World War II, Australia once released such a sentence, it must kill all the Japanese and kill the last person.
Therefore, after hearing of Japan's surrender, Australia said that it would not recognize Japan's surrender, because Australia also wanted to repay the great revenge committed by the Japanese army that year. But japan's subsequent surrender was recognized by many countries, and Australia could not do so. But the prisoners accepted in Australia were not so lucky, and the Australian army directly chose a good day for them, set up machine guns and sent them away.
The army in the barracks
At that time, Japan was eager to fight with Australia again when it heard such news, and Australia wanted more punishment than this, and when the Japanese criminals were tried, the Australian government actively designated that the Japanese emperor must be tried, because in the eyes of the Australian government, now that the war was over, it would make the Japanese emperor lose his life.
Several Australians are in discussion
But at that time, Japan already had the protection of the United States, and finally Australia's idea was not realized, and then Australia built a museum in order to commemorate the sacrificial soldiers of its own country, and when all people entered the museum, they had to step on the Japanese flag to enter, and the Japanese at that time were very angry after learning about such things.
Scenes in battle
In the face of Australia's actions, the Japanese government even protested to Australia later, but Australia did not care about what Japan did. After all, Australia has always been unforgivable about what Japan did during World War II.
So why was only Australia at that time, and there was such a big opinion about Japan, in fact, many countries at that time hated Japan's behavior very much, but because of their own economy and other reasons, in the end, They could only give up on Japan and press Japan step by step. But at that time, Australia was different, and it was still good in development, so it was not necessary for Compensation and help from Japan. Therefore, the enmity against Japan must be repaid.
On the ground after the war
It can be seen how many unconscionable things Japan did under the circumstances at that time, just as in China, all kinds of crimes committed by Japan are not forgivable, because our peaceful life today is what our predecessors bought for their own lives, they sacrificed their lives in exchange for peace, and we have no right to help our predecessors forgive Japan.
