The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
In holding the Japan - Russia Summit Meeting in December 2016, I felt a sense of crisis that Japanese media launched a series of observation balloons such as 'two islands Preceded' and 'Coordinated Government' two Islands (preceding) Returning I issued a warning 'Those theory is nothing but theory of 2 Island abandonment of Kunashir and Iturup' (Issue 2016 12).
In conclusion, I appealed that Japan should first regain its historical awareness and secure the power to ‘stand as a country’ and then conduct full-blown negotiations on the Northern Territories issue.
That idea has not changed.
Cold war in Asia is like to be planted seeds by the United States and the UK

Speaking of territorial cuts, in the case of Germany it was more miserable than Japan.
It lost Eastern Prussia (East Prussia) and it was robbed of the territory to the Oder River, which is now the border with Poland.
Most of the exiled German residents headed to Berlin, but they had encountered plunder and rape of Soviet troops along the way, and none remained when they arrived in Berlin.
What was waiting there further is GI who inflated pocket with Allied Mark which the occupied country issued without permission.
In the paper of the National Archives of the United States of America, it is said that in 1946 as many as 500,000 German women had lived for prostitution.

Because of the Second World War, in the case of Europe, a cruel territory change occurred more than any war of the past, which was fixed as the postwar European order.
In Japan, as well as the escape of hardships experienced by repatriates from continent such as Manchuria, hundreds of thousands of Japanese and German civilians, and millions of people were deprived of their lives in the process of their territorial change it was.
Although the history of this tragedy has been placed outside the field of view, even now in the former Allied Powers.
So, as for Germans, there is a sense that why the sticking to the 'small problem' of return of the Northern Territories, why they should not pursue as a responsibility for post-war processing of the Allies.

Furthermore, Japanese school education absolutely does not teach, it is destruction of German industrial infrastructure by US Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau and agricultural plan, so-called ‘Morgenthau · plan’.
Before the defeat, Germany exported industrial products and used it for importing agricultural crops, but due to Morgenthau's ‘ridiculous plan’, it was transformed into an economic structure that depended on agriculture, resulting in direct hit of famine.
According to the Canadian historian James Buck's ‘Crimes and Mercies’, there are 5.7 million civilians in Germany plus 2.5 million German refugees who were excluded from Eastern Europe and returned to mainland Germany, 1.1 million war prisoners, more than 9 million people lost their lives with famine.
Regarding the rebuilding of the postwar Europe, there are descriptions of the Marshall plan when seeing Japanese textbooks, but we ignore the tragedy Morgenthau · plan originated.
It is important to describe not only the part of the light brought by the victorious country but also the part of the shadow in a balanced manner.
In that regard, I do not think Japan - US relations will get worse.
Nakanishi
The view of history and the order of the modern Japanese was made in the Cold War era, especially in Asia where the Soviets are 'evil', the United States and Britain are 'good', as in the Second World War, even in the Cold War, Justice has won 'only to' Empire of evil 'It is common understanding of history That the Imperial Japanese Empire and the Soviet Union collapsed naturally.
This ‘United States and Britain = Justice view of history’ continues to tie down Japanese diplomacy even though it is getting stronger after the end of the Cold War.
However, let's say that that was the greatest mistake in the 'Tokyo tribunal historical perspective' and it was a big mistake.
And the North - South divide on the Korean Peninsula, which is currently in progress, is originally, in the Yalta conflict, UK and the United States urged the Soviets to participate in the war with Japan.
As the Soviet troops invaded Manchuria stayed for more than a year, the Communist Party of China was based on Manchuria won through (Second) Chinese Civil War, they were able to establish the People's Republic of China.
If so, the Cold War of Asia including the division of the Korean Peninsula is like seeding by the United States and Britain.
The tragedies of Manchuria withdrawal and the redness of China are responsible not only for the Soviet Union but also for the United States and the UK, and all are ‘The Yalta Agreement (secret American-British-Soviet agreement and the Soviets agreed to attack Japan" surrender: Feb. 11, 1945) ‘may be said.

All the weapons that the Kwantung Army of Manchuria had had passed to the Chinese Communist Party.
Nakanishi
At that time, it was clear that Chiang Kai - shek 's military arm of the Kuomintang who was cut off from the United States was defeated by the Communist troops
Thus, a communist country was born on the mainland of China and the Korean Peninsula was also negotiated by the Yalta talks under the trusteeship of allied countries including the Soviet Union.
However, the Soviets occupied the North from the 38th line, sent Kim Il Sung to establish North Korea (DPR Korea). In case
The tragedy of the inter-Korean division begins here, and its main reason is rather demanded by Anglo-Saxon allies of the United States and Britain.
At least, in the sense that it caused confusion in Northeast Asia, the United States and Britain and the Soviets should be regarded as ‘the same sin’.
Most importantly all Japanese should remember that the participation of the Soviets against Japan was done by unilaterally abandoning Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact.
It is a clear international law violation and the United States and Britain who gave Stalin to participate in Japan should be charged with the guilt and assistance of invasion war against Japan.
Since Stalin was originally a cowardly man, there is a high possibility that he would have hesitated to participate in the war against Japan unless Roosevelt or Churchill had a boost.
In that sense, the U.K. and U.K would just have helped the Soviet invasion against Japan.
As a result, the Soviets acquired Manchuria, Sakhalin and Kuril Islands that were under Japanese rule, and a storm of conflict due to the spread of communism spread throughout Asia throughout the postwar period.
In other words, it is necessary to see that all suffering over the cold war in postwar Asia was ‘responsibility of the Allied Powers as a whole’.
Watanabe
After that, the UK and the United States won the great war, but Poland eventually fell to the hands of Stalin.
The main point of ‘Hull Note’ was that Japan was withdrawing from China, but in the end, China was also communized.
This is the consequence of the contradiction of the Atlantic charter of appealing the worldwide construction of democracy while adding Soviets which are not democracies to their allies.
How was Roosevelt and Churchill's war guidance wrong?
However, most of British and American history books divert their attention from these facts. That is to ignore it.
It is because the evaluation ‘Roosevelt and Churchill is a great leader’ is crushed from the root.
Also, most of the Japanese history books are looking away from the result brought by the guidance of the two guys (Expansion of Communism) and are keen only to accuse the Japanese leader's stupidity at the same time.
It is extremely disappointing that there is no attitude to explore historical facts and causal relationship at that time from an international perspective.
This draft continues.
