Comfort Women Monument Sparks S.Korea, Japan Conflict
Written: 2012-05-20 11:44:00 / Updated: 2012-05-20 17:23:50
The lobbying by a group of Japanese officials over a monument in New Jersey for former Korean comfort women backfired and created more animosity between South Korea and Japan.
According to the New York Times, not only did the lobbying by Japanese officials fail, it only shed more light on the issue and sparked civil rights activists to push for more similar monuments.
Internet users left comments on the website of the New York Times, with some saying the attempt to remove the monument was “despicable.”
Korean women were forced into sexual slavery during the Japanese colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula between 1910-1945.
