When I was researching some Japanese WW2 history, I started wondering about something. Is Germany the only country that had to come clean fully? Every country has their dark history and crimes. It's normal for a country to not, ya know, boast about their crimes. I don't have to look far to see past crimes not being acknowledged enough. I'm Belgian and I remember having brief education about my ancestors' crimes in Congo. (Choppin' off hands and more lovely things...) I did however had to hear multiple times about germany during WW2. Is it the same with you guys? War is a murderfest without winners, a double edged sword. I feel there's too much talk about 'winners', like they frickin saved the world...Too much fingerpointing too. I believe it's healthy to do self-reflection and I don't think schools apply this to history enough. Not to mention that 'winner' mentality creates a misplaced feeling of superiority, which can lead to more war.(Yay!)
