1. The document transitions from the Japanese being humane to committing horror atrocities by explaining that the Japanese officers treated the Chinese as non-human beings. They stated that the soldiers were told to treat the Chinese and Korean inferior, and instructed them to smuggle valuables, rape women, and burn the villages whenever they attacked.
2. Although the number of "comfort women" is debatable and can't be confirmed exactly, the possibility of the amount of crimes the Japanese committed might surpass what the Japanese historians claimed. From the documentaries, one can tell that the Japanese were expanding their army rapidly. By the mass amount of soldier, it'd be likely that 200,000 women were raped by the Japanese.
3. The number of women was argued between the publishing company and the Japanese historians. However, I would rely on the publishing company more due to the less likelihood of biased opinions on the facts that concern of Japan's history. It would also be inappropriate to stop a company from publishing facts or information that may've been proven by historians.

Some rules included giving respect to desire for independence and other structural building. Japan's and European's imperialism had mutual economic motives, since both were striving for new sources of raw materials. However, Japan wanted to imperialize them to expand to extent of influencing them and acknowledging them as their rightful ruler with a sense of national identity towards Japan. For example by establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, this allowed the colonies to have a better sense of nationalism and more united.
