A little known fact about the 2 nuclear bombs that were dropped on Japan is that out of the 210k people killed about 50k of them were koreans who had been transported to Japan as basicaly slaves to work in the factories.Also unlike Germany children are not taught about the terrible history of there countries involvement in WW2.
