Their accounts of the mass slaughter were front page news, transmitted around the world. Yet this tragic event soon became a historical footnote, virtually unknown in the west until 1997 when Iris Chang\u2019s The Rape of Nanking was published. Chang\u2019s book, appropriately subtitled The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II, was the first major English language book about the massacre.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d400dd6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d400dd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPost-WWII politics were a major reason why the Rape of Nanking became a \u201cforgotten holocaust.\u201d After WWII, a bitter civil war created two Chinas: one on the mainland under the control of Mao Zedong\u2019s Communist Party, and another, led by Chiang Kai Shek, in Taiwan. Both governments claimed to represent the Chinese people and sought Japan\u2019s support.

The Cold War was heating up and America wanted Japan as an ally to combat Soviet influence in Asia. Although war crimes trials were held in Tokyo, and a number of military leaders were executed or imprisoned, Japan\u2019s wartime leadership was essentially allowed to remain in power. With nobody to speak out on behalf of the victims, the Rape of Nanking, and Japanese acts of aggression elsewhere in Asia, soon drifted into obscurity.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-WWII politics were a major reason why the Rape of Nanking became a \u201cforgotten holocaust.\u201d Chang\u2019s book, appropriately subtitled The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II, was the first major English language book about the massacre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
