Ghostrider Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Ah, look on the bright side, we could have been under the despotic rule of King Charles III and his vicious Queen, Cruella.... Come the succession, things will be sooo different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hideki Tojo JapanThe number of dead: 4 million...Hirohito JapanThe death toll: 6 millionI can't help wondering how Tojo and Hirohito are both listed in your list, but with different values. Why do you believe the Emperor was culpable for two million more than Tojo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soljey Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hideki Tojo JapanThe number of dead: 4 million...Hirohito JapanThe death toll: 6 millionI can't help wondering how Tojo and Hirohito are both listed in your list, but with different values. Why do you believe the Emperor was culpable for two million more than Tojo? Hirohito was Emperor from 1925 to 1989 - therefore his reign included the Japanese invasions of Manchuria in 1931 and the rest of China in 1937. Tojo was PM of Japan from 1941 until his forced resignation in 1944. Although he had earlier been a general and the Japanese Army Minister from 1940 to 1941.

EM Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yes indeed. The bit I find curious about the list is having them both listed, as (presumably) the Tojo deaths would be included within the Emperor's tally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
