Other war crimes trials

Many courts that were being conducted outside of the Soviet Union and China implemented their trials between 1945 and 1949, with the final tribunal concluding in 1951. It is nearly impossible to extract the data in regards to the outcomes of these affairs. These trials had taken place in extensively dispersed locations, all of which were under multiple jurisdictions. Records of the trials were not conserved or displayed. Some of the sentences, especially those involving capital punishment, could then be reviewed and altered. Without the precise data from the outcomes of the trials, the recorded verdict could have been modified. According to Japanese records, 5,700 Japanese individuals were indicted for Class B and Class C war crimes. Of this number, 984 were sentenced to death; 475 received life sentences; 2,944 were given more limited prison terms; 1,018 were acquitted; and 279 were never brought to trial or not sentenced. The number of death sentences by country is as follows: the Netherlands 236, Great Britain 223, Australia 153, China 149, United States 140, France 26, and Philippines 17.[13] The Soviet Union and Chinese Communist forces also held trials for Japanese war criminals 40.
