It's reasonable to wonder why the two countries are in such different situations 70 years past the war. Opinion polls can help us understand some of the nuances of the situation. One recent poll conducted by Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, for example, found that 73 percent of Germans believed that their attempts to apologize for the war had been sufficient, compared to 57 percent of Japanese.

However, the same poll found that an equal number of people in Japan and Germany felt that apologies no longer needed to be made, and a larger proportion of Germans (55 percent) than Japanese (46 percent) felt that apologies should continue to be made.
