POV+-+Victorious+Loss

Victorious Loss In real life, we might sometimes think that we are having a victory but in reality, we might just be having a loss. The Philippines and the Japanese were having this exact same problem. It all started when the Philippines were planning to take over Japan because the Philippines wanted more land. When a Japanese person came back from the Philippines, he told the head captain of the army that the Philippines wanted more land from Japan and that they were going to attack in three years. Japan didn’t mind fighting for land, since Japan could use more land also. Japan started to gather their soldiers and began the preparation of training for the War. The Philippines didn’t know that Japan even knew about the War, and that they were already training for it. The Philippines gathered lots of young strong men from the ages nine-teen to fifty-five yeas old. They, too, were preparing for the big fight. For three years they prepared for this war. The Philippines went to Japan with all their fighting equipment and men. The Japanese solders were there ready for them. This war was the biggest war anybody has ever seen or known in the whole world. It lasted for ten years. It was terrible and there were much loss of life on both sides. The most interesting thing about this specific war was that, when a person from Japan killed a Filipino, then Japan got twenty-six square miles of the Philippine’s land. If a Filipino killed a Japanese person, then the Philippines got twenty-six square miles of Japan. There were lots of people from the Philippines who died, and there were also lots of the Japanese people who died in this awful war. After the biggest war in the whole world had ceased, Japan earned lots of land. The Philippines got a very little amount of land. The Philippines weren’t victorious as they thought they were. In the Philippines the population is growing and there is still not enough land to grow rice to feed the country. The Philippines still need more land but, do not want to fight again. Even though the Japanese won, they also lost, as no one truly wins in a war. So let us remember and take heed.
