We can discern political motives for altering almost any historical event you can think of.
Based on this, should we assume that the academics and researchers who write the history books are affiliated with said political interests, calling essentially all history into question to the extent that nothing can be said with any degree of confidence?
Or is war a specific case in which normally objective historians drop their objectivity more readily than usual?
Also what about the German and Japanese historians researching WW2 from their end? Who pressures them? |

| The really tragic thing about Japanese people and the war is that it really blinded them. Here in Brazil there was a bloody feud between the "derrotists" (who acknowledged the fact that Japan lost the war) and the "victorists" (who believed Japan had won it). Loads of people were assassinated because of this insanity :( |

We've got the biggest Japanese colony overseas, why do you think I hang out with so many of them? They're everywhere I go :p
And, on top of that, Japan and Brazil fought against one another during the war. So, when the news came that Japan had lost it, some nationalist knob-heads came to the conclusion that it was American propaganda, and all settlers that believed in it should die. The few occasions in which the local non-Japanese population got involved, they ended up lynching everyone that looked Japanese in the cities where the riots broke out (I think it was Bastos and Lins). That's one of the reasons why I'm strongly opposed to both conspiracy theories and nationalism.
There's an awesomely interesting book about it in Portuguese (it's on my Goodreads, and it's called "Corações Sujos" ). And here's a short article on our relationship. |
