Anti-colonial choices between violent empires

A viewer notes that some Asian and Pacific peoples cooperated with Japan in opposition to European colonialism. The response rejects any simple preference between empires because Japanese occupation violence also made many communities distrust Japan. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre at Amritsar provides an example of British imperial violence, and the discussion argues that the responsible general should have faced a harsher penalty. Removing the general from his post showed some institutional response, while politics prevented the imprisonment considered warranted here. The comparison leaves both empires' violence in view while showing how anti-colonial agency, coercion, and differing expectations of accountability could coexist.
