Korea! **** Yeah!

This is what happens when a Government gets its people to believe them.

I never realised koreans felt like that about japan

The majority of the population of that penninsula, regardless of nationality hate the Japanese with a passion we europeans couldn't begin to comprehend.

Since they tore through that entire region, all the way from Siberia down to New Guinea, and as far across as Burma, murdering, raping and pillaging all before them, for the best part of 150 years, it's not difficult to see why the hatred is so deep rooted.

Up until a few years ago, Koreans were also considered second-class citizens in Japan.

They really can't stand each other.

1910 - 45: During its occupation, Japan built up Korea's infrastructure, especially the street and railroad systems. However, the Japanese ruled with an iron fist and attempted to root out all elements of Korean culture from society. People were forced to adopt Japanese names, convert to the Shinto (native Japanese) religion, and were forbidden to use Korean language in schools and business. The Independence Movement on March 1, 1919, was brutally repressed, resulting in the killing of thousands, the maiming and imprisoning of tens of thousands, and destroying of hundreds of churches, temples, schools, and private homes. During World War II, Japan siphoned off more and more of Korea's resources, including its people, to feed its Imperial war machine. Many of the forced laborers were never repatriated to Korea.


- -goes some way to explain the hatred

Dare I say it - probably be censored but here goes.

Japan committed pretty much equivalent atrocities to many of it's Asian neighbours as Germany did in the second world war.

Difference was that jews weren't killed.

There was a TV program on about this a few weeks ago. The hatred of Japan is inbuilt in the Korean national psyche, and is positively encouraged in Korean schools.

Jews weren't killed cos there aren't many in Asia. Instead, they used Chinese ppl as Guinea Pigs in chemical warfare experiment. Up to now, there are still many chemical weapons buried in Northern China when the Japanese fled after VJ-day.
