Japanese-Americans who served in World War 1?

Japanese-Americans have always been a valuable part of any American war effort. During World War 1, they served as part of the All Japanese Company D unit, First Hawaiian Regiment of Infantry. Japanese Americans were a large portion of Hawaii's population during the time, and stepped forward to enlist willingly. They hoped their enlistment would lead to them gaining American citizenship. Sadly, this did not happen.


How did the Japanese treat the Chinese during WW2?

first answer: During World War II (and also prior to it), the Japanese treatment of the Chinese may be described as demeaning and otherwise oppressive. With the intent to subjugate China for the sake of their own profit and expanded prestige, the Japanese saw China as a Japanese resource and, even further, saw the Chinese as an inferior people that, in some keen sense, deserved to be used for Japanese purposes. second expanded answer: Japanese treatment of the Chinese people during WW2 & before (since the 1930's) was far worse than demeaning or oppressive. For millions it was slavery, murder, looting, starvation, and other forms of brutal physical violence.
