	Forgiving the Culprits: Japanese Historical Revisionism in a Post-Cold War Context - Ingyu Oh and Douglas ...
		The underlying objective of historical revisionism is to blur the distinct line that exists between the victims and the aggressors.
		Japan is not a neutral state but a model peace state that all nations of the world are expected to emulate in the near future (Nakakita, 1997, 37).
		A critique of historical revisionism is to uncover this identity and suppress it.

	Historical revisionism (Japan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since World War II, some Japanese historians have attempted a form of historical revisionism, applied in particular to the Empire of Japan.
		In some cases this has led historical scholars to deny, cover up, or whitewash war atrocities; such as the activities of Unit 731 or the Nanjing Massacre.
		The precise death counts during the Nanjing Massacre are often disputed and denied by Japanese revisionists.

	A Postwar View of the Greater East Asia War
		Had Japan's southern advance been less of a blitzkrieg (for Japan itself as well), there might have been time to lay ample foundations for a "war of Asian liberation." Japan, however, was unable to control the timing and scale of the fighting, and even the question of war or peace was outside its control.
		Japan's plight is that it must live as if it were completely unaware that others calculate all their moves on the basis of power -- in fact, it must work actively to remain ignorant of such calculations.
		Japan, exhausted by the war with China and faced with the threat of forcible resistance by at least one of the powers, Russia, was forced to yield to this demand.- Ed., Japan Echo.

	Asia Times Online - The trusted news source for information on Japan
		Japan's so-called Northern Territories have lately received a lot of media coverage, reflecting Tokyo's hope, or rather wish, that it may be high time for Russia to relinquish, willy-nilly, the latter's control since 1945 of the four disputed southernmost islands, plus some uninhabited islets, of the Kuril Archipelago to their rightful owner - Japan.
		Unfortunately for Japan, the official version of the Treaty of St Petersburg was written in French, befitting both the Francophile tradition of the Czarist Russia and the rigor of French as a diplomatic language.
		This commentator is not entirely unsympathetic to Japan's wish to reclaim the southern Kurils, nor is he oblivious to the fact that Japan in all likelihood did more than Czarist Russia, the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia combined in developing the Kurils and the Sakhalin Island, on which several generations of Japanese colonists were buried.

	Japan: Partial Power, Major Pole, Superpower?
		One indication is Article 9 of Japan's constitution, which bars the country from using "the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes." Another reflection of Japan's pacifism is its military budget.
		Japan's future role on the world stage will also be influenced by the outcome of the struggle going on within Japan over whether or not to loosen current military restraints (Lincoln, 1994; Pyle, 1992).
		Concern over Japan's hesitancy to apologize unreservedly was enhanced by its refusal to assist the 200,000 mostly Korean women who were enslaved during the war as "comfort women" and forced to satiate the sexual appetites of Japanese troops.

		Japan and China are locked in conflict over islands and offshore natural gas resources.

	The Case for Revisionism (and Against A Priori History) - Mises Institute
		Revisionism is an historical discipline made necessary by the fact that all States are governed by a ruling class that is a minority of the population, and which subsists as a parasitic and exploitative burden upon the rest of society.
		The noble task of Revisionism is to de-bamboozle: to penetrate the fog of lies and deception of the State and its Court Intellectuals, and to present to the public the true history of the motivation, the nature, and the consequences of State activity.
		Revisionism therefore reveals to us in all its starkness that the State Enemy in the United States is purely at home and not abroad.

	Historical Revisionism Is Rampant In Our Culture By Doc Fennessy
		Historical Revisionism is rampant in our culture, and is being perpetrated by the academia and multi-media.
		Outrage swept across America-That is until Japan took out ads in the NY Times apologizing for the attack and offering compensation to the families of the American dead and wounded.
		With Japan choosing to scrap its naval construction commitments made with the United States, Britain and France under the Treaty of Washington in 1934, FDR endorsed policies that would NOT allow the US Navy to maintain parity with the Japanese naval construction boom.

	Historical revisionism perseveres (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-04)
		It was the early flowering of holocaust revisionism, in fact, that set the stage for the birth of the IHR and, ultimately, the advent of the Mermelstein affair.
		Revisionism now not only had an audience which was growing in number, but it had more and more full-fledged historians and other academics who were willing to put their reputations on the public chopping block.
		By the time that historical revisionism became a part of the historical debate (perhaps largely, ironically, because of publicity arising from the Mermelstein Affair, which we will examine in these pages), Establishment historians were becoming obsessed with combating revisionism.

	What About the Anunnaki?
		This modern revisionism often carries with it an abhorrence of the ideas of those who are classically educated in a given field; it seems to be embraced most frequently by renegades and modern "Indiana Joneses" and thrill-seekers who eschew the typical channels of education.
		In such an education, however, if one discovers factual information that is contradictory to what one already believes or perceives, one is compelled by honesty to abandon the earlier, erroneous model and accept the new, which is essentially what the renegade is also attempting to do.
		None of these characters is a historical person, as, again, the Sumero-Babylonians correctly identified their own gods as being the "planets," which, of course, included the sun and the moon.

		The round trip from Iwo to Japan and back was nine hours, most of which was spent in a physically battered state.

	Welcome to The Sydney Line
		But for those historians who began all their books and papers with terra nullius, this means that the base on which they constructed their careers is faulty.
		Unfortunately for the reputation of the author, however, there is now an accumulation of sufficient historical, demographic and climatic data about the 1930s to show that almost everything about the elaborate picture created in the novel is either outright false or exaggerated beyond belief.
		Western investment and Western political models gave them a kick-start, and those who have taken advantage of it, such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, have shown that it is possible to transform a politically backward, underdeveloped country into a prosperous, modern, liberal democratic nation in as little as two generations.

		The first and most obvious is the decision by Japanese school authorities to adopt a history textbook that minimises Japanese crimes during that country’s brutal occupation of parts of China before and during the Second World War.
		Chinese leaders believe that Japan is working with the United States in support of the Taiwanese government.

		The familiar distinctions between the Classical and Great Vehicles are well-worn; the conservative scriptural and historical literalism of the former pitted against the mythological revisionism of the latter, the idealization of the reclusive ascetic pursuing his own perfection in the former as opposed to the angelic and socially engaged bodhisattva of the latter.

		The walls of text and choice of exhibits will display also the degree to which elite American museums, like universities, have fallen to the forces of political correctness and historical revisionism.
		It is an exhibit, in short, that subtly and not so subtly casts the Japanese as victims, the kamikaze pilots as heroes, and the Americans as the vengeful heavy.
		Under the heading "Historical Controversies" the exhibit asks "Would the bomb have been dropped on the Germans?" It begins its answer thus: "Some have argued that the United States would never have dropped the bomb on the Germans, because Americans were more reluctant to bomb "White people" than Asians.
