Well we didn't like the Japanese or the Germans for a long time but I think they're our good friends now. I can recall a time when there was no way anyone would buy a Japanese car when they started coming on the market, now they're ubiquitous!
A lot of shit has happened over history, why are you so concerned about what has happened in the past in that one small corner of the world. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Governments and their leaders change, wars happen.
