    My grandma was in a Japanese concentration camp in the Philippines as a young girl. She never likes to talk about it. She said she even learned to speak fluent Japanese since she was held captive for so long. She ran away from the camp when an officer asked her to light a cigarette for him she took that opportunity and ran away through a rice field as he shot at her with a gun. She was never shot and she made it out. That is the only thing she would tell me about this experience.

      In the business side, it's theorized that Japan attacked pearl harbor because although the US didn't participate actively in the war, they did refrain from trading with Japan, cutting off their food supplies. So, I suppose the cannibalism started then?

This put Japan in a hard place because it couldn't maintain its military and war effort without these materials which Japan had no way of making on their own.

    In the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942, about 15,000 Japanese soldiers were left behind on Guadalcanal Island, suffering from wounds and starvation, even after the Japanese military was ordered to withdraw. The US military thoroughly wiped out the remnants of the Japanese military in a brutal manner. For example, Japanese wounded soldiers who were taken prisoner by the US military were forced to lie on the ground in front of the tanks, lined up in a line, and then run over. After the war, the American magazine Life magazine published the scene.

    My great grandmothers was born in somewhere in the 1914-1921 that means she was already born before the war, her father was half Spanish, my great great grandfather fought with a japanese soldier when they were invaded, sadly the japanese soldier has a gun while he only had a bolo/machete, he risked his life to save his family, my teacher has also told us his father or was it her grandfather? I forgot but when he died they were not able to do a proper burial and only wrapped him in a banig ( a mattress made it out of leaves), yeah thats just two stories about japan invading the Philippines but its already heartbreaking
