Cool! Are any of these from the Philippines, by any chance?

The slaughter of innocents is ALWAYS wrong regardless of who commits them or where their commited. Those responsible should be held accountable.

No; unfortunately not. But if you give one or more keywords I can research for material.

Intented subjects are:

- Dresden, Leipzig (1945)
- Firestorm of Hamburg
- WWII-allied war crimes and post-war crimes against humanity
- Bloody Sunday (3.9.1939) of Bromberg (now in Poland) - slaughterings of especially the German population at the beginning of WWII
- post-war expulsions and the victims
- Korean war
- Massacre of Katyn (Russian crimes against Poland's military officers)
- the inhuman British sea-blockade of 1914-1919 and the victims for the German population (more than one millions starved).
- Auschwitz, Treblinka, Majdanek, Bar Bija
- Gulags

... and ... and ... and ...

I hadn't heard of some of these (only just beginning to get into history). I look forward to your future posts!

The events in the Philippines I'm interested in are the Moro Massacre (1906) and anything on Japan's occupation of the Philippines during WWII (I think you've already posted about the Manila Massacre)

Basically, anywhere Japan occupied during that time frame suffered massive casualties, it seems. :/

Oh, absolutely.

A lot of Filipinos still dislike Japan and Japanese people. In the Filipino community in my town, there was this woman who had a kid with a Japanese man. She left him because he beat her. The Filipinos had a lot of contempt for her for "opening her legs" to a Japanese man; "what did she expect?". Nevermind that wifebeating is a crosscultural phenomenon...

Just googled "Moro massacre" and already found MORO CRATER MASSACRE (1901?).
Will look for more.

I also will look for Material on the massacres in East-Timor during its Independence.

That's the one, although it did happen in 1906. It's also called the Battle of Bud Dajo.

Yeah, I've got a couple Asian American friends, each from different ancestry... it seems that many of the non-Japanese feel some bitterness towards Japan, even if in a distanced sense, since they were raised in the USA. Most of my friends are of Korean, Chinese, or Japanese descent, and they all jokingly talk about how each of those three countries thinks they're the heart of Asia, while simultaneously looking down on the rest. Then again, I guess mentalities like that exist around the world, eh? ;/

Actually, although Filos are very patriotic, I haven't heard anyone express the "heart of Asia" mentality. It's probably because the country has been so culturally influenced by the West, for so long.
