I think it's the anthem of Soviet Russia. Which I think didn't exist yet at the time you're from.

What did Russia do for the announcement to trigger those reactions?

hurricanebomber October 1 2009, 20:18:12 UTC

From what we learned about it in school, it was a pretty unpleasant place. The other nations would know more than me.

fireworksntea October 1 2009, 20:23:43 UTC

I see.

A lot of things changed.

hurricanebomber October 1 2009, 20:25:59 UTC

Yeah, I guess so. Russia wasn't the only place where things got pretty shitty for awhile, but I guess the one most of the people here had experience with.

fireworksntea October 1 2009, 21:20:37 UTC

I understand. Thank you.

hurricanebomber October 1 2009, 21:29:44 UTC

Yeah, no problem.

[Private to James]

Just so you know, though, things get better eventually.

That is relieving.

Do you have detailed information about the second great war in Asia?

Private hurricanebomber October 1 2009, 21:44:12 UTC

You mean World War II? In the 1940's? Yeah, I know about it. What do you want to know?

What did Japan do to us?

Private hurricanebomber October 1 2009, 22:11:10 UTC

In the '30's, Japan invaded northeastern China, and in the '40's, they took over Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. They occupied all that territory until the war ended.

How high was the level of cruelty?

Private hurricanebomber October 1 2009, 22:53:13 UTC

It was bad. Millions of people died because of attacks, famines and forced labor. POWs were used for medical experiments. I've even heard stories about Japanese soldiers killing and eating prisoners.

That's just during the war, too. I'm sure more people died in Korea and Manchuria before Japan entered the war.

Private fireworksntea October 1 2009, 22:59:48 UTC

...did that happen to all of us?

Private hurricanebomber October 1 2009, 23:05:42 UTC

It was worse for some than for others, probably. Vietnam and Indonesia...er, the Dutch East Indies at that time, had bad famines at the end of the war. And people were exploited in all those places, and killed in attacks.

Private fireworksntea October 1 2009, 23:14:42 UTC

I see.

Thank you.

If something comes up, can I ask you again?
