Why single out Japan? Empty Why single out Japan?

Hashimoto went on to say that the use of sex slaves was an "inexcusable act that violated the dignity and human rights" of women, but said it was unfair to single out Japan, as the only country guilty of committing such wartime aggressions. He said armed forces in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, South Korea, and the former Soviet Union also allowed wartime brothels.

"Other nations in the world must not attempt to conclude the matter by blaming only Japan and by associating Japan alone with the simple phrase of 'sex slaves' and 'sex slavery," he said.

Historians say up to 200,000 women, mainly from the Korean Peninsula and China, were forced to provide sex for Japanese soldiers in military brothels, according to The Associated Press. While some other World War II armies had military brothels, Japan is the only country accused of widespread, organized sexual slavery
