| The picture above is of young men being buried alive at the Rape of Nanking. Often times the Japanese found pleasure in forcing Chinese men to dig graves and then get buried alive in them. It was also a common occurence for Chinese men to dig somebody elses grave and bury one another alive. The Japanese enjoyed inflicting excessive amounts of pain and suffering upon the Chinese. This further proved how power hungry the Japanese were and that they believed nobody could stop them. |

| The picture shows a Japanese soldier about to behead an innocent child at the Rape of Nanking. No mercy was shown to the young boy, due to the fact that the Japanese believed young men might have been soldiers. The Japanese Army had no problem resoting to barbaric, heartless measure as long as it meant Japan could gain more political power. If the Japanese had no problem killing innocent bystanders and young children, then they would have no problem killing anybody. They were bold enough to kill over 300,000 people in one city alone, whose to say they would ever stop mass killings? Somebody needed to stop them. |
