Summary

Chapter 10 sets out an overall accounting for both Southeast Asia and Japan of the war’s costs and benefits. The chapter arrives at an approximate total of Southeast Asian civilian loss of life due to the occupation and indicates the extent of wartime physical damage to the region’s cities and infrastructure. Similar data for Japan afford a comparative yardstick. Japan realized few of the natural resource benefits or other material gains which, before the war, control of the Southern Regions was expected to generate.
