Following the conclusion of World War II, decisions needed to be made about how to handle the defeated Axis Powers.
Due to the vast scale of atrocities committed, it was not feasible to punish everyone involved. Instead, the Allied victors chose to put key members of the leadership on trial.
For aggressors in the Eastern Theater, it was decided that the Tokyo Trials would be held to try political and military heads for war crimes.
Learn about how the Tokyo Trials, why they were held, the controversies surrounding them, and why they were considered to be necessary on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
