Anyone who fought back against the Japanese were considered Chinese or terrorists and then they would either be killed or taking a work camp or death camp. In many cases if a random civilian would try to attack a soldier they would exterminate the person before they caused harm to a soldier (Chang2 199). In conclusion, the Japanese would interrogate anyone they encountered and would only harm the Chinese.
There are no reports to date that the Japanese symbolized the Chinese. When Japan first entered the streets of Nanking in December they killed anyone who looked Chinese unless they looked American.

First off, in Japan they had previously spent decades training its men for brutal war. During the 1930s, parents were expected to buy their boys military toys to get them to like them. Also, Japanese schools operated like boot camps because they could not graduate without taking some sort of military class (Chang1). In addition, after the Japanese destroyed Shanghai, they turned their attention towards Nanking. Japan pulled all advanced military personnel from China to come up with strategic ways to attack Nanking and be successful (David). Previously in the China War, the encouragement of brutality was being taught by providing the soldiers with bayonets to use on wounded soldiers and to kill people who are asking for help. This taught them violence and to finish off everybody in their path (Levene 229).

May 3, 1946 the Tokyo trials of the Nanking Massacre began. Also, the trials went until November 12, 1948. 80 Japan war commanders were tried, 28 were convicted, and seven were sentenced to the death penalty (Chang2 214). In addition, Hisao Tani, company commander Captain Gunkicki, and Second Lieutenant Toshiaki Mukai were sentenced to death. They were the leaders who headed the 100 killing contests that occurred. The contests were to see which member killed 100 Chinese the fastest (Chang1). When Matsui returned from his leave of absence, he claimed he was unaware his troops went against his order and killed innocent civilians (Chang2 216). Many of the main Japan military generals got convicted but some did not and were set
