How many immigrants did Japan have in the Pacific during World War II?

Japan's Pacific region during World War II included the western Pacific (China and South Korea), southwest Pacific (Southeast Asia), south Pacific (New Guinea Islands), central Pacific (Midway Island) and northwest Pacific (Aleutian Islands).

The largest immigrant group in Japan is in the western Pacific. At the end of World War II, China repatriated about 6 million Japanese immigrants and prisoners of war. Among them, there are about 4 million immigrants. About 6.5438+0.5 million Japanese immigrants were repatriated from the Korean peninsula (due to the fact that a large number of Japanese entered South Korea from the northeast in the late period of the Soviet Union's war, it was impossible to accurately count the number of people in the chaos. Many are double counting).

Because Southeast Asia is a newly occupied area, the pace of Japanese immigration is relatively slow. Most immigrants belong to non-permanent immigrants who travel between the mainland and the occupied land. The largest gathering place is Zhaonan City (Singapore). Because during the war, the local people rebelled and then organized guerrillas. So the Japanese army retaliated against it. There was Bataan's death March in the early stage and Manila Massacre in the later stage.

The South Pacific is vast and sparsely populated, and the local people are ignorant and uncivilized. There is no difference between American army and Japanese army. Therefore, the Japanese who suffered from labor shortage took the recruitment order and there was no mass slaughter. But the natives who helped the allies were killed. For example, during the occupation of the truck, the Japanese gang raped the daughter of the truck mayor and slaughtered a group of aborigines who helped the Australian army.

In the central Pacific Ocean and Aleutian Islands, the Japanese army failed to achieve successful occupation. So apart from the casualties of the war, there was no mass slaughter.
