Actually the Japanese government has been required to make reparations. They've been pressured by asian governments and have issued apologies. In fact recently there's been a bit of a dust up because the Japanese government seems eager to gloss over any atrocities from that time.
But really the issue of western outrage is mostly about race. In general western societies were not as concerned with the deaths of asians as with the deaths of westerners. It not malice or hatred, just preferencial concern for their own kind. Also, while the Japanese committed some terrible atrocities and treated their conquered subjects brutally, they never quite went so far as deliberate genocide. They may not have cared how many of them died, but they didn't specifically set out to kill them all.

Poster you're incorrect. the eastern (not the Japs) proceed to construct airplanes to right now time. The Mitsubishi F1 grew to become right into a fighter jet produced regionally by a similar organisation that made the 0. The Mitsibushi F2 is a eastern fighter jet, that sounds like an F-sixteen, yet is relatively lots larger, and has eastern (not American) avionics on it. the eastern additionally build the F-15 under license, with eastern technologies equipped in. besides to militia airplane, the eastern produce various civilian jetliners.

True , but in the Occident these atrocities are , for the most part , ignored .
The answer lies in the fact that in the West more space is given in the history books with subjects germane to the culture and thus , although pertinent , those facts you pointed out are salient only to a synoptic overview of the second world war .
We know more of the Nuremberg trials than we do of it's Oriental counterpart the Tokyo war crimes tribunal .
Thank you for bringing this question to light .

What you say is not really true. The English-speaking world focuses more on Hitler's atrocities because they were committed upon us directly. In Asia, there is much more focus on what the Japanese did to other Asians during the war. Just because you don't hear about it in Kalamazoo Michigan doesn't make it so!

The only atrocity the Nazis, and Hitler, commited was to fight for the preservation of his country, the same Britain and America did, the same as the Jews, Muslims, and Zulus

There are a number of reasons, but I think the primary one is that the Germans are Western Europeans, with whom we English-speakers tend to identify more closely. We are more astonished by their monstruous inhumanity because we don't perceive them as being very different from us. We can't help asking ourselves whether it could happen in our own country, and not being able to find a satisfactory answer, we keep looking.

Because they received bigger publicity. What I don't understand is that how Hitler gets the publicity (albeit negative PR) and yet, Stalin's purges go seemingly unnoticed.
