Japanese soldiers kill so many civilians in Nanking, China because the commanders encouraged their soldiers to be as brutal as possible. The answer is A.  

EXPLANATION  

There is no exact literature that says the Commanders encouraged their soldiers to kill so many civilians in Nanking, China. Yet, through the number of murdered and sexual assaultd people which is up to 40.000 – 300.000 victims, it can be said that there is an order to murder. There must be someone (it is believed that it was the Commanders) who asked the soldiers to assault China civilians as brutal as possible.  

The Nanjing Massacre was a chapter of mass sexual assault and mass murdered which were executed by Imperial Japanese troops to attack the residents of Nanjing. The mass slaughter happened over six weeks, starting on December 13, 1937.  

The day of the Japanese’s arrival in Nanjing, they declared the Nanjing government to back down. Yet, they were encouraged. So in the next two days, Japanese Army’s soldiers began to carry out a brutal attack on the Chinese disarmed civilians.

It was estimated that 40,000 to over 300,000 people were sexual assaultd, murdered, and looting. Historians cannot estimate the accurate number of the death toll of the massacre. Yet, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo announced that over 200,000 Chinese were murdered in that massacre. Meanwhile, China's official estimation is more than 300,000 dead based on their evaluation of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal in 1947.

The correct answer is A. Commanders encouraged their soldiers to be as brutal as possible.

The massacre of Nanking was a series of crimes against humanity committed by the Japanese army while they were occupying the city of Nanking and its surroundings in 1937. These crimes involved killings of civilians and prisoners, torture, violations, plunder, and other several atrocities. According to different estimates, the number of dead civilians rises above 300 000. This brutality was a direct result of the orders of the Japanese commanders: prince Asaka and general Matsui, among other Japanese military leaders.
