Do people in Germany and Japan feel that their countries "started" WWII?

1 Answer

Answer :

The actual people of these countries were not in control, it was the governments of these countries who started WWII. In Germany an egocentric took center stage & swept the people along who were still trying to recover from WWI. In Japan I think the government was looking for a way to surmount trade restrictions & a sense of superiority.
