HOW
How was propaganda used?
Propaganda was not used in traditional sense of one side showing the atrocity's committed by another group. Instead of dehumanizing them, the Japanese press issued images that depicted the massacre as less than it actually was. Pictures used depicted a war zone, not the images of brutally murdered Chinese civilians,
How might the abuses have been prevented
The abuses may have been prevented if the League of Nations had been involved. In 1937 Japan began a full scale invasion of China. The Chinese representative appealed to the league of nations, but the league was unable to provide any assistance. as a result the Chinese went with out help and the Nanking massacre happened with few consequences for those involved.
