What was Japan's aggression toward Japan?

There have been many occasions of "Japan's aggression towards Japan." For example, Okinawa can be viewed as being a site of Japanese aggression against its own people. In World War II, the island of Okinawa was used by the American troops as a passage into the mainland, and by the Japanese mainland as a "disposable" island to merely impede the American troops. The Japanese army had no regard for the Okinawan citizens, who were driven out of the safety of their shelters and caves when the American troops arrived. There have also been incidents of senseless killings of the civilians by the Japanese troops during that time, because although Okinawa was an official part of Japan at the time, historically, Okinawans have been treated as the minority, as they speak with a different dialect and have a distinct culture.
