However, the process to bring them over took many years of collaborative effort, beginning with Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, an American writer and geographer, who would go on to become the first female board member of the National Geographic Society. In 1885, after returning from her first trip to Japan…

Instead of spending time in prison like Hess; Okawa was sent to a psychiatric hospital for less than two years and was released. While the proceedings of the Nuremberg trials were based on the accepted standards of evidence and judicial procedures, the trial of General Yamashita was in all terms a miscarriage of military justice.

as 1942. In 1945 we firebombed Tokyo killing more 80,000 people. In response to this Truman remarked, “Despite their heavy losses at Okinawa and the firebombing of Tokyo, the Japanese refused to surrender. The saturation bombing of Japan took much fiercer tolls and wrought far and away more havoc than the atomic bomb. Far and away.

Operation Meetinghouse, the early March 1945 raid on Tokyo that involved hundreds of B-29s dropping bombs from low-altitude at night, killed roughly 100,000 people. As with all statistics on the damage caused by strategic bombing during World War II, there are debatable points. It is listed as the most single deadly air raid of all time.
