Japan occupied the Philippines because it was in both of their interests whether they knew it or not, yes the Filipinos really just wanted to be left alone at that point, but it was necessary for both countries Japan wanted to help, it wasn't some Greater east Asia Co-Prosperity conspiracy theory. Most if not all countries in the Asian basin held their arms out for Japan. The Filipino dream was independence from decades of Colonialism from Spain and the US, Japan did not Colonize it however, I will say there most likely was a few Japanese atrocities here and there speaking from a logical feasibility perspective and such is the nature of war. but it should also be kept in mind, most atrocious narratives are the product of foreign press, and if true at the most, Whos to say the atrocities were actually on Civilians, for all anyone knows those “civilians” could have been Chinese partisans and Communist moles. We’ve heard the same accusations against all Axis powers, they are all fake lmao. funny how we never talk about allied atrocities.
