lol at the constant ridiculous FDR fetishism.
A lot was going on in those days, including widespread famine and internments, all of which along with defeat would cause a lot of depression. Example:
en.wikipedia.org
"Suicide Cliff is a
cliff above
Marpi Point Field near the northern tip of
Saipan,
Northern Mariana Islands, which achieved historic significance late in
World War II.
Also known as
Laderan Banadero, it is a location where numerous Japanese civilians and
Imperial Japanese Army soldiers committed suicide by jumping to their deaths in July 1944 in order to avoid capture by the United States.
Japanese propaganda had emphasized brutal American treatment of Japanese, citing the
American mutilation of Japanese war dead and claiming U.S. soldiers were bloodthirsty and without morals. Many Japanese feared the "American devils raping and devouring Japanese women and children."
[2] The precise number of suicides there is not known. One eyewitness said he saw “hundreds of bodies” below the cliff,
[3] while elsewhere, numbers in the thousands have been cited.
[4][5] A contemporary
correspondent praised these civilians, describing them as "the pride of Japanese women" and their self-sacrifice as "the finest act of the
Shōwa period."
[6]"
But ...but ...FDR made them do it ....
