O que aconteceu com os SOLDADOS JAPONESES após a Segunda Guerra Mundial?

The Imperial Japanese Army fiercely resisted until the end of World War II, motivated by fear of communism and bushido pride. Military leaders refused to surrender, encouraging soldiers to fight to the death. The Japanese army expected that civilians would also die with them. After the surrender of Japan, there was the American occupation and the repatriation of Japanese POWs. Those who returned faced difficulties, being met with hostility and facing psychological breakdowns. In China, the Japanese faced Soviet concentration camps, and many died. Japan's expansionist policy has resulted in a difficult return for its citizens.
