After Japan had concerned the capital of China, they celebrated it as a "Military Achievement" and it was in their front page head lines. When people started criticizing them about the atrocities they committed, the Japanese started to hide any evidence they did in Nanking. Once everything started to come out, the Japanese government started to blame the soldiers. They pleaded that they had "no control" over the soldier and their actions they did throughout their time in Nanking. They also blamed the officers that were suppose to be watching the soldiers, on the other hand, the officers said they had lost all control over them.
The survivors in Nanking didn't ask for much but a simple apology from the Japanese. But since most Japanese are in denial about the whole situation, none have took responsibility nor have they tried to apologies. The Japanese also didn't have to pay for the atrocities they committed in Nanking nor did they ever go to trial for the Rape of Nanking. Due to this, this might be the main reason that this genocide is hardly known as well as other genocides. (Chang chpt 10) For instance, the Nazis and the Jews. Although the Japanese still deny the occurrence of this genocide, they are still committing genocidal actions in other places. (new page 1).
