Question

Why were military leaders and civilians in Japan put on trial after World War II

Answer 1

Answer:Probably to enforce the idea of the existence of personal (and individual) responsibility, even during a war, in relations to crimes against soldiers, civilians and against the humanity.

Explanation:Before World War II wars were a "free-for-all" in terms of responsibility of nedless violence and destruction; if an army were ravaging, killing, raping, enslaving and pillaging a region after a battle....well, that was bad but...it is war!

Now we have a new idea; if you kill a prisoner soldier, if you torch a village, if you mass-execute a group of people you can expect, after the war, to be called to answer for it!

In particular, if you are a soldier, you cannot use the "I only obeyed superiors' orders" excuse anymore!
