Japan's surrender day: can a country that forgets its aggression avoid repeating it?
About this episode
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. For the countries and peoples across Asia who suffered under Japanese militarist aggression, August 15th has never been an ordinary day. It represents the triumph of justice over aggression. It also marks the end of a war that brought immense suffering and profound devastation to Asia.
81 years after Japan's surrender, has Japan truly learned from its past - or is history repeating itself?
