Thai – Laotian Border War The Thai – Laotian Border War ( December 1987 – February 1988 ) was a short confrontation between Thai and Laotian forces . It was caused by a dispute involving the map made by French surveyors 1907 to mark the borders between Siam and French Indochina in the southern Luang Prabang Range mountain area . Ownership of the village of Ban Romklao on the border of Phitsanulok Province and three small border villages on the edge of Uttaradit Province was left unclear . ( This is the same map underlying the Cambodian – Thai border dispute . The agreed factor in determining ownership was the natural watershed , but the French map makers at times ignored this . ) A series of minor shooting incidents had occurred between Thai and Laotian forces in 1984 . In December 1987 , however , Thai armed forces occupied the disputed village of Ban Romklao , raising the Thai flag over it . The government of the Lao People ' s Democratic Republic protested strongly , insisting the village was part of Botèn district of Xaignabouli province . Thailand replied that the village belonged to Chat Trakan district ( " amphoe " ) of Phitsanulok Province . Pathet Lao forces staged a night attack on the small Thai garrison , driving the Thai soldiers from the village and replacing the Thai flag with that of the PDR Laos . Serious fighting followed , continuing for weeks until a cease - fire was declared on February 19 , 1988 . The brief war claimed a total of about 1 , 000 casualties , the Thais suffering more heavily since for much of the war they were attacking entrenched Laotian positions . Gen . Chavalit Yongchaiyudh was the commander of the Royal Thai Army at the time of the war and was criticized for engaging in it against the wishes of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs . Vietnam had assisted its communist ally , sending troops from the Second Vietnamese Infantry Division to Baan Nakok air field in Xaignabouli to support the Laotian military operations , amidst the border clashes with Thailand along the Thai – Cambodian border . Aftermath . The Thai - Lao Joint Boundary Commission ( JBC ) was established in 1996 to clarify the 1 , 810 - kilometre boundary and settle ownership of the disputed villages . Border demarcation is still going on .

Yasuji Kaneko Testimony . According to his testimony he raped many Chinese women during the invasion of China . In an interview with the Japan Times on September 26 , 1996 , Yasuji stated " I murdered 100 people or more by torture . " He also claimed that he joined the Nanking Massacre and murdered and raped many Chinese people . He testified during a private trial Yun Chung - Ok sponsored in December 2000 : " Comfort women were expensive . Therefore , I kidnapped , raped , and killed the Chinese woman . " Kaneko has also admitted to participating in the use of chemical and biological weapons against Chinese as part of Unit 731 . In the Japanese documentary " Japanese Devils , " which features 14 Japanese soldiers retelling their roles in war crimes committed by Japan during World War II , Kaneko describes an incident in which he and his unit surrounded and wiped out an entire village for the thrill of it , rather than any threat it offered . The reviewer notes that all soldiers interviewed in Minori Matsui ' s film were ex - POWs of the Chinese government and subjected to a long " re - education " that may call their testimony into question . However , the reviewer , Mark Schilling felt that " they give impression of being not communist controlled - robots but elderly men who have little time and nothing to lose " . Controversy . According to Japanese historian Ikuhiko Hata , Kaneko ' s testimony is not consistent with well known historical facts . Hata argues that other historians have not utilised Kaneko ' s testimony , including Yoshiaki Yoshimi , an activist for Japanese war crimes responsibility . Additionally , according to Toshihiko Tanabe , Kaneko was born in 1920 and volunteered for military service in 1940 , therefore he could not have participated in the Nanking massacre , which occurred in 1937 . Also , his division was located in Chintao , so he could not be a member of Unit 731 , which was working in Manchuria , far Northern China .

Operation Margarethe Operation Margarethe was the restricted occupation of Hungary by Nazi German forces during World War II . The codename " Margarethe I " referred to the occupation by German forces alone as it was ordered by Hitler on 12 March 1944 , while the term " Margarethe II " was reserved for a full - scale occupation by German forces in conjunction with those of Croatia , Romania and Slovakia .

The Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Kállay , with the knowledge and approval of Regent Miklós Horthy , had been discussing an armistice with the Allies . German dictator Adolf Hitler found out about these discussions and , feeling betrayed by the Hungarians , ordered German troops to implement Operation Margarethe to capture critical Hungarian facilities . Hitler invited Horthy to the palace of Klessheim , outside of Salzburg , Austria on March 15 . While they conducted their negotiations , German forces quietly moved into Hungary . The meeting was merely a ruse to keep Horthy out of the country and leave the army without orders . Negotiations between Horthy and Hitler lasted until the 18th , when Horthy boarded a train to return home . When he arrived in Budapest , it was German soldiers who greeted him . Horthy was told that Hungary could only remain sovereign if he removed Kállay in favour of a government that would cooperate fully with the Germans . Otherwise , Hungary would be subject to undisguised occupation . Knowing the latter meant a gauleiter who would treat Hungary no differently than an occupied enemy country , Horthy appointed Döme Sztójay as Prime Minister to appease German concerns . The occupation was a complete surprise and resulted in it being quick and bloodless . The initial plan was to immobilise the Hungarian army , but with Soviet forces advancing from the north and east , and with British and American forces invading the Balkans , they decided to retain the forces , sending a portion to the defend the pass through the Carpathians . In Relation to Romania . Operation Margarethe II was also the name for a planned Nazi German invasion of Romania should the Romanian government decide to surrender to the Soviets . Romania did in fact surrender in August 1944 ( after King Michael ' s Coup ) , but this operation was never implemented .
