there was a newly created generation so they tried to forget what had happened. Japan obviously had new technology, so of course we wanted it so we sent people over there and since there was a new generation at hand they didn't try and kill us all again. but as i watched in a doco called 'Return to Sandarken' many of the soldiers that got away from the death marches and P.O.W camps don't want to forgive and forget. they hate all Japanese for what they did and don't think that Australia should let the Japanese into our counrty for what they did to us...killing us and all. but i guess it is in the beholders hand..or with us..our prime minister..to let the Japanese in. and i think that we should just forgive and forget because This generation of Australians and Japanese didnt do anything so we shouldn't think any different of them.

Japan depended on other countries for natural resources, OIL, rubber and other things because their island and islands did not have them. So they were dependent upon other countries to sell them these resources. Culturally they were isolated from the rest of the world and quite backwards (as was China). They did not understand the western world at all. Some Japanese people did go to college in the US and they did learn more about the western world and their ways. The Emperor was isolated from the Japanese and the rest of the world. He lived in seclusion and "ruled" from behind walls. See related link below.
In World War I, the Japanese joined the Allies for a time, and fought the German army in east Asia.
