The one between three and three.
The Axis killed far, far more than that. The Japanese themselves were already committing atrocities across SE Asia with civilian tolls reportedly over 10 million. I touched on it back on the IC, but the Japanese were truly, truly fucked up. Nuking them was basically the only way to stop 'em.
Actually found the link I posted on the IC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimes
"... estimates that between 1937 and 1945, the Japanese military murdered from nearly 3 to over 10 million people, most likely 6 million Chinese, Koreans, Malaysians, Indonesians, Filipinos and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war. According to Rummel, "This democide [i.e., death by government] was due to a morally bankrupt political and military strategy, military expediency and custom, and national culture."[2] According to Rummel, in China alone, during 1937–45, approximately 3.9 million Chinese were killed, mostly civilians, as a direct result of the Japanese operations and a total of 10.2 million Chinese were killed in the course of the war.[59] The most infamous incident during this period was the Nanking Massacre of 1937–38, when, according to the findings of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, the Japanese Army massacred as many as 300,000 civilians and prisoners of war, although the accepted figure is somewhere in the hundreds of thousands..."
In 1945, the same year we dropped nukes, Japan did this:
"... the Manila massacre of February 1945 resulted in the death of 100,000 civilians in the Philippines. It is estimated that at least one out of every 20 Filipinos died at the hands of the Japanese during the occupation..."
The Nanking Rape, also known by it's "softer" name The Nanking Massacre happened in 1937 during the Sino-Japanese war and it was far more horrific than anything I can think of in modern times. The Japanese went on a rape-murder spree through the capital of China at the time, Nanking (now Nanjing). Them niggas would rape women AND children and would kill their victims by mutilation after raping them. Stabbing a woman up through the pussy with a bayonet or with a bamboo shank was common. Raping women and girls to death was also common.
The Changjiao Massаcre was a part of Japan's "scorched earth" policy towards China: Kill everyone, burn everything, take everything. During this event in 1942, they murdered over 30K people in just 4 days.
Also in 1942 there was the infamous Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign, we (the US) were trying to build airbases for our bombers and fighters on the Chinese mainland that hadn't been occupied by the Japanese. We had launched a bombing raid from an aircraft carrier and our planes were set to land at these hidden bases but the bases had been found by the Japanese and destroyed. As a result, our planes crash landed in Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces in China after running out of fuel. The Japanese soldiers came looking for our airmen, who were being helped by the locals, and in the course of trying to find them the Japanese murdered over 250K civilians. The handful of airmen they did find were immediately killed.
By the time we nuked 'em, the Japanese were pretty much the most hated people in all of Southeast Asia because of the shit they had done. Millions of civilians brutally murdered at their hand (including rape, mutilation, and torture before death) versus 220-230K dead by ours, half of which were basically vaporized.
Nah homie, we did the right thing.
