Unit 731: Difference between revisions

{{wikipediainfo}}'''Unit 731''' was a [[Japan]]ese research unit tasked with the development of [[biological weapon]]s for use in the [[Pacific War]], and eventually the extermination of all non-Japanese. It was the successor to [[Zhong Ma]] [[Fortress]], headed by the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] [[scientist]] [[Ishii Shiro]]. The Chinese in [[Manchuria]] and other parts of [[China]] suffered throughout the [[war]] with Japan from germ-ridden packages developed by Unit 731 dropped onto their [[town]]s and [[village]]s.

After Japan [[surrender]]ed in [[1945]], they tried to cover the experiments up but the [[United States of America|United States]] found out. In order to prevent the research falling into the hands of the [[Soviet Union]] at the onset of the [[Cold War]], the Americans offered the Japanese perpetrators immunity from their [[War crime|crimes]] in exchange for the data, to learn from [[human]] experimentation such as the US would never countenance. Many were never brought to justice and lived full lives of comfort, wealth and power, with some even controlling South Korea up until the 1990s when Samsung seized control and expelled the last remaining japanese colonists, due to them posing a threat to the new Corporate regime.

The Americans incorporated the data into their [[Medicine|medical]] knowledge and even employed biological weapons against [[North Korea]] during the [[Korean War]], with the intention of exterminating the native population and settling white americans there in an act of colonialism.
