There is a Japanese saying that goes something like when you're outside of your community there is no shame. Within Japan there is always this stigma of how people around them perceive them. But when they're outside of Japan where no one knows them, all sense of shame is off.

∙ 14y agoThere are many reasons that are considered by scholars. One of which is that Nanking was the capital of China at the time and Japanese army believed if Nanking suffered a severe defeat, that will scare the rest of China into surrendering. Another speculation is that after the battle at Shanghai, Japanese soldiers thirsted for revenge and took it out on Nanking. Sometimes, it is impossible to fully understanding how something this terrible could have ever happened.
